Sorry about making everybody wait over the entire weekend for the next marathon update. I apologize for any agony that I may have caused. Before I show you the next installment of my marathon footage, please allow me to share another principle with you.
Don’t do it alone!
This simple principle is true in marathon running as well as in life. Anything worth doing is worth doing as a team. When I started running I had no desire to run a marathon. I was simply running 3-4 miles several days a week. I had several guys running with me. Once the reality of a marathon was in the picture 2 of the guys dropped out and 1 hung with me. This was huge for me. I found that having someone else running with me gave me the encouragement and accountability that I needed. It was crazy how the days I didn’t feel too good that Aaron did and vice versa!
Whatever your “marathon” is…invite someone to join you.
And now…
You have no idea how much I’m loving this footage! And your life comparisons are absolutely true. Running in general is a huge metaphor for life and faith for me. Especially distance running/marathons. And last but not least, snuggie. whoa.
So much fun… I cannot wait to see the end. Congrats on doing this.
