Marathon

The journey to the marathon begins with the first step. For me, that was deciding to participate in a run organized by my church, at a time when I was extremely stressed and depressed. The thought just occurred to me to participate, and since I never exercise, and weigh 180 lbs, and am 47 inchles around the waist, I feel fairly certain that God put that thought in my head. Satan suggested that I was crazy, and I agreed, and pushed through anyway. I dragged the family into this madness, which turned out to be quite enjoyable. A true family bonding moment. I highly recommend it!

I was inspired by the event, especially when I saw so many people run together, and having such a good time! The event I ran with my family was the 3km run, where you run in pairs and your partner and you need to finish together. I ran with my daughter and my wife walked with my son.

I found out that there are things called marathons where you run for approx. 42km. I thought it would be cool to complete something like that. So I started running, for just 2km for 20 min for now, and then I will build up my distance over time. Lord willing, I will make it to the marathon, and it is only through the Lord Jesus the Christ, that I will have a strength to complete this!

It is written:” I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Php 4:13 )

Running is fun!
