Seriously.
I have never really had a reason to exercise, so I don't. I can't quite figure out if that makes me lazy or lucky. Maybe a little of both...or a lot of lazy and a little lucky.
I may have lost my mind. I'm willing to start the Couch to 5k. I've printed the schedule. I'm not too intimidated by week 1. "Five minute warm-up walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes." Not too bad, huh? (I'll confess: I haven't looked beyond week 1. Actually, I have no intentions of looking ahead in fear of that I'll quit before I get started.)
I can do this. My sweet friend has offered to train with me. I have several other friends who have said they may join me. I'm trying to convince Kyle to be my partner too. I can do this...right?
My body is a temple to be used to glorify God. In order to glorify God, I have to take care of what He has given me.
I love the way the New Living Translation of the bible puts these verses...This will be my motivation:
"Remember that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize.
You also must run in such a way that you will win. All athletes
practice strict self-control. Thy do it to win a prize that
will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize.
So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step."
(1 Corinthians 9:24-26)
