Spiritual Prep:

Hebrews 12:11   “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful.  Later on however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it”.  We probably can all agree with that scripture unless of course we are being disciplined.  How do we know our condition is a result of our actions?  The Spirit whispers in our mind.   Some discipline lasts longer that we would like.  I am growing—   

Training Prep:

Came into the office today and there was “the counter”.  It is a countdown clock.  93 days, 23 hours and 50 minutes till the start of the race when I walked by it this morning.  I will watch that count down and feel the day get closer and closer.  Ever notice how people work better if there is a deadline.  Ever notice how soon they give up if they get to far behind.  Ran 3.5 miles this afternoon.  Did some quarter mile splits to work on speed.  Want to keep a run in there even though I am trying to rest the ankle.   Treadmill day.  Ice everywhere outside and very cold.
