Devo-Fuel: {First Long Run}

Many times when I go to bed at night. I think that before I awaken Christ may come. Sometimes when I get up and look at the dawn I think that perhaps this is the day He will return. But until that day, God is still working - and so should we. In a world filled with turmoil and hopelessness, we are to pray, and we are to do all we can to alleviate suffering and bring Christ's love to others. May Jesus words become true in life: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven" (Mathew 5:16)

I'm training for the Shamrock Half Marathon this year on Sunday March 16th and last night was my first long run of the season out at McKinley Park. I got out there just after 4:30 pm after work and it wasn't too crowded. Tempurature in the mid 50's, cold. The first 5 miles were great, I started off slow and built up into intervals as I ran around the park. By mile 6, I could feel it in my joints and it was effecting my run form, but I knew my legs could keep on going. All in all if felt good to run outside again.
