first, i'd like to give a shout out to the trinity girls!!! an especially loud "whooo!" to jenny who had a great finish. Carin, i can't wait to train with you are a great athlete. Now for that run...it had some highlights like when i heard the familiar sound of our feet pouncing like pumas as we ran. also, i was glad that i had a superfluidity (high octane 'flow') moment and i just went forging ahead without reservation or thought. I started to think about it right about the time i realized i was almost twice as far from the end as i thought at the onset of this breakthru. i stuck it out and was passed by jenny during the last 100 yards or so. she helped me be a stronger and faster runner today. i have really come to look forward with great expectation for my sunday run with the girls. i thoroughly enjoy the time finding it very rewarding. if i had given up running before i figured it out (a little) then i never would have had this heightened experience. family and friends look at me with wonder sometimes as if i am performing some fantastic feat but really its just about putting one foot in front of the other consistently and repeatedly, often.after the run i was off to church and then my brother in laws for a boat ride there were nine children there!!!
to the members of Holy Trinity parish know that this is a time of pruning and growth. it is these moments which are sometimes unsettling serve as reminders that The Great I Am abides and we are but his humble slaves.
