Marathon training is going well. Over the past few months I have been on the sidelines hurt. I struggled thru the Augusta, Ga 70.3 with no running under my legs for 6 weeks! Yesterday I completed a great speedwork set (3x1600) @ a very fast pace of 6:38 (well fast for me, not others that I know).
We had a great small group discussion at our house last night. God continues to bless our group with great spiritual direction. The six week series is about being "content". In today's world, we are so focused on keeping up with the Jones'. To that point, Hollywood even created a movie right here in Alpharetta called "Keeping up with the Jones'"!
It's my belief that God has given each of us unique skills, talents, and gifts that we should all use wisely. If someone wrote you a check today for $1 million dollars, or $2 million, would your life drastically be so much improved? No. Why? Well, you see all of the struggles that we go thru is building a morale character and a solid foundation. Without that solid base, or foundation we would not be able to deal with the pressure of that sort of money. Just my two cents for the day. 13 miler tomorrow...should be fun!
