So the marathon is this weekend! Wow! I can't believe it. We had our last Team In Training meeting Wednesday night. We were given our running shirts and went down the endless list of things to remember to do, must pack items, and last minute strategies. Let's just say I came away from that meeting feeling more than just a little anxious. Later that night, my devotion referred to some verses in Isaiah 40 that were so perfect for me and I will recap them here. "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (40:28-31). I have looked at these verses several times since then for encouragement. I know that these words will be running through my head several times during the race.
I am registered for the early start so I will be starting the marathon at 5:30 on Sunday morning and hope to finish by noon. Check back next week to see how I did or check my Facebook page. Thank you to everyone that has supported me throughout this experience!
