No Racing on Saturday

November 11, 2007 by gregshore.

I so wanted to run in a race yesterday but knew that I would later regret it. I ran instead on Friday where I walked two laps and ran two laps for a total of two miles. That was plenty and then I worked out with Spec Ops Boot Camp afterwards. I’ll get back to regular Boot Camp on Tuesday and we’ll see how it goes.

 Yesterday was the one year anniversary of me racing again and even though I didn’t do the race I’m sure I could have finished the 5K in less than the 56 minutes it took me one year ago. I saw my picture for the first time in months on my “Why This Blog” page and it took my breath away.

During the announcements from God, there was a word for a man who had been running. The Lord wanted to say that he’ll set the pace for the spiritual journey. I was pretty certain it was me so I went for prayer and the prayer team member said they were waiting for me to come back. He thought the Lord was telling me that I was to be an encourager to those on a spiritual journey as well as those who are physically running. And I just remembered what someone else said to me about me training partner, Adam - They were away on a weekend retreat and Adam was raving about how much I encouraged him in his marathon training. Stuff to digest and then act upon.
