No music tonight

I didn't really feel like running tonight but did anyway. Even told Ami when I left that I was probably only going to do a mile or so. My iPod had died so I thought I might get bored running without music, just wasn't very motivated.

I got out on the road and it was tough. At about the 1.5 mile point I thought about heading home but a thought hit me, I was running when I could very easily be doing nothing at all. He has given me a gift, a second chance. So, I kept going. The thoughts about what I have gone through and how much I have been held back gave me the motivation to keep going. So I was tired, my feet hurt and my legs burned, so what, I kept going. You know why? Because I can.

Sometimes His messages are subtle and come over time like the ones we got last year and sometimes they are very direct like the one we got yesterday but you have to be willing to listen. Tonight I got another one, just keep going. Keep going because He sacrificed so you could. All things are possible through Christ, say your prayer and go. When it gets even tougher say another one and push on through until you hit your goal, whatever it is.

I made my goal tonight, I hit three miles. I kept going.
