Yay, me!! Today I ran 8 miles. I've never run that far at once before. The most I've ever run was 7 miles.. but it was on accident.. and there were no hills.. :) I'm in a little pain now.. My legs are crampy and my hip is a little sore. BUT, I'm proud of myself. What a great start to February!!
I totaled up my January mileage... 43 miles! However, I'm starting to get nervous about the Tough Mudder. I feel like I'm training more for the half marathon. I'm doing a couple strength training classes and stuff on my own, but I'm not sure it's enough. There are about 10 people on my team (and I don't really know any of them!) and they seem to be taking this WAY serious. What if I can't keep up? What if they get frustrated with me? What if I'm the weakest?? I'm thinking I may need to do more strength training. I just don't feel like my arms and chest are much stronger. How am I going to pull myself across bars and over walls?
Okay, enough of my nervous anxiety. I know I can do this. I am exercising more than I EVER have in my WHOLE life.
Dear Lord, I know you have called us to be disciplined and hard working. I can do these things through You because You give me strength. Please give me Your strength and endurance when I run out. Please protect my body from injury and help me glorify you in all my accomplishments. In Your name, Amen.
