Determination

Since moving to Loveland, I've been running this path that is all up hill on the way back. It isn't the biggest hill, but it's 1 1/2 miles long. It's been hot and humid, so it's been a tough run. Today, the cloud cover was the perfect opportunity to get out there and run. So I did. On the return, sure enough, I started losing steam...again.

This time, however, I had a talk with myself. "Self, you have been through much worse. You have beaten Lyme Disease for crying out loud! You can do this. God gives you strength; use it." So, I kept my lazy butt moving. I shaved 3 minutes off my time today. That was a good feeling.

The moral of the story? When you are facing an obstacle, remember the other times God and you got through it..beat it. You can do it!
