Training

Sorry I haven't posted in a week or so, I've been a little busy. Thankfully I started my new job last Tuesday. It was about time, the Lord has blessed me once again.

I started training last week for the 10K Bank of America River Run on May 9th. I will get more detailed about my training this week. Last week I ran 20 total miles with several minutes of Interval Training (running at my normal pace then picking up pace for 1:00 minute at a time), and substituted more pickup workouts for a 5K race.

I now have a goal in mind and in view (River Run) and Running has turned into Training. I must be disciplined and faithful to my Training or it won't get me anywhere. However in Training I must not forget why I'm Training, it's because I love Running, and Running loves me.

I think sometimes in The Relationship with our Heavenly Father that we forget why and what we are doing, and who we are doing it for. We can so easily get caught up in serving, ministry, teaching, preaching, praying, Bible study, and evangelism that we forget about just loving God. All of those things previously mentioned are important to our walk with the Lord. Even personal prayer and Bible study time are most often intimate time with God, but are we doing those things just to be alone with Him or because that's what Christians do, so we have to do them. In our efforts and striving to be more Christlike and transformed let us not forget about The Relationship we have with our Heavenly Father.
