RUN Sista' RUN!

Running is a huge part of my life right now. I am training for the half marathon here in Nashville in April. I also coach track. One of the REAL GIRLS team members runs track. Running is a huge part of my life! I love running. I never thought I would say that. It truly is one of the only skills from high school that I use every day. One thing I love about running is it gives me time to spend just thinking. Breathing hard and hearing my footsteps, I just have time to myself. I love the "runners high"- that feeling of wow, I cannot believe I just did that! If you have ever experienced this, you know what I am talking about.
Running is such a great example of our Christian walk. Hebrews 12:1 says:

"...let us run with persevance the race marked out for us!"

When you are given a certain distance to run, you just run. You don't quit. You run until you are done. This is our walk with Christ. We just RUN! Just keep going, don't quit! Run hard. Run fast. Just run. Yes, you will get tired. You will take water breaks, and you will need others to cheer you on. But what a great feeling when you cross the finish line!

As Dory on Finding Nemo says......"just keep swimming."

Run, REAL GIRLS, RUN!

We love you and pray for all of you as you run this race! Stay REAL!
