Man… haven’t written in this thing in FOREVER…

It’s been a combination of a lot of chaos in life and laziness that kept me away from wordpress…. I think if there’s that one thing that I will probably regret when all is said and done, is that I didn’t write enough on this thing… Oh well.. but its okay… BECAUSE, after tomorrow’s 3 mile run in the morning, my training is officially over… WHOO

I’m excited to tell you all that I will be flying out to San Diego this Saturday, and I will be running my marathon on Sunday…

I can’t believe it’s all happening so soon… seemed like yesterday when I first decided to start running…

Everybody has been asking me lately if I’m ready for this marathon or not.  My answer to that question is that I’ve never been as ready as I am right now.  I know I had to put a halt on my training and stuff because of my foot injury about a month ago, but right now I feel as ready as ever….

Speaking of the injury… It wasn’t much… just chronic pain in my right foot when I was running… Not much I can do about it, especially this late in the game, but to just go on… Basically my foot took too much pounding…  The shoes are fine, if it weren’t for the shoes I would have been dead a long time ago… but the shoes can only help so much, since my feet are so flat…

I’m so excited…  I keep saying that… but I’m so excited…

I’ve been memorizing some scripture in my past couple of runs, and it has been pretty awesome… not only does time go by much faster, but through it I can just feel God putting his strength in me…

I memorized Hebrews 12:1-2, A section of Philippians 1, and Isaiah 40.

here’s the punch line from Isaiah 40—

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 run and never grow weary,
they will walk and not grow faint.

These verses have been so amazing to me… I know running a marathon and all that is a pretty crazy accomplishment, but it is nothing compared to the glory of God and who he is… all men are like grass and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. All that is good within me is HIM.  no other way to describe that.

I guess I’ll end here since I need to get some sleep… Sorry for not blogging enough again.. and thanks to everyone who has been encouraging me along the way.  If it weren’t for you guys I’d be long gone..  Thanks for those who are supporting me with prayer and/or financially….  you guys are truly the greatest… I’ll blog afterwards when I am done with the marathon… wish me luck you all!
