Struggling

October 11, 2011 by JOYfilledWELLNESS Filed Under: Barefoot Running, Journal Entry Leave a Comment

1.17.11

i struggled through the back  & shoulders work out this morning.  i wanted to quit on several occasions.  i can’t tell if i’m disinterested with  this workout because i’m weak in those areas or because i’m actually bored with the wo.  with no good reason to quit, i put all my focus on Mary.

gotta love a picture – it keeps me humble. 

rose and i before our 8 mi run on 1.15.  my feet after my barefoot 8 miler.  it felt like i was walking on razor blades when i stopped running.  the grueling part was cleaning the dirt out of the already popped razor cut blister.

i ran 2.6 mi while dad took the kids to the park.  i attempted to go barefoot but didn’t last more than 5min.  my feet look worse today than they did on sat.   i had to swing by the house to pick up some shoes.  my run was miserable with shoes.  my back instantly began to hurt.  my knee, shin and ankle chimed in at 1mi.  again, i was ready to quit.  meditating on the passion helped sustain me.

i’m definitely taking tomorrow off from my MT and hope to be barefoot again on wed.

GO ALL OUT  – ALL FOR!
I have NOT ARRIVED.
I am far from the finish line.
But I am on CHRIST’S TEAM.
His love ignites me.
…His power fuels me.
His mission compels me.
I AM COMMITTED to Christ
and to this race.
I will run STRONG and run LONG.
Who will join me?
