I am Stronger Than my Weaknesses

On Saturday, Matt and I went for a run in the morning and what a difference it made! We both got a lot more out of it and were really sore when we got back home. We tried to go running this morning but accidentally fell back asleep after waking up. Yesterday we only went for a short jog because Matt hurt his knee on Saturday. 

I cannot explain the way I feel when running. I really do feel skinnier, like I was when Matt and I first met. I feel like I can go for ever, running with him along the river. It's funny how something I used to HATE I now love and get excited for and it's helping me a ton with being focused and doing well in my studies. It doesn't burn like it used to. Of course it burns, but it isn't from me being an inexperienced runner, it's from my fat slimming down and getting my muscles more tone.Maybe some day I will be able to run like my sister (the cheetah). 

My goal for every time I run on the green way is to always make it to the 1/4 mile marker before walking again (if not farther!) and to run for a 1/4 of a mile each time. I believe in myself! Saturday was such a productive, amazing day and I know it accounted back to running in the morning. Starting my day off like that with a good, strong run was the kick I needed to getting all of my homework and Sunday school lesson done.

It's amazing how when you truly desire to learn something and make a weakness a talent, the Lord will bless you and help you along your way. I now no longer fear the things I am bad at. If I can make running a hobby, something that never ever ever in my wildest dreams ever did I see myself enjoying, then I can do even smaller things. Anything is possible if you set your mind to it!
