My 10-Day Challenge

So, in honor of my upcoming 5K run that I've committed to and so far NOT regretted, I decided to set some goals for myself! I've been hit or miss with being consistant in getting out there and running, so I decided to challenge myself to run EVERYDAY for the last 10 days before the race. So far, 2 down and 8 more days to go, with Day 10 being "Race Day"! Let me be clear that I am in no way planning to race anybody, I just want to finish! (Preferably without stopping to walk.)

My fan club (aka my CHILDREN!) are almost as excited about next week as I am and have promised to cheer me on when I get tired. That will motivate more than anything!

I definitely have been enjoying myself. I'd forgotten how much I love being out, alone with my thoughts to think. Yesterday I remembered the Prayer Walks we used to do when I lived in Archbold (Ohio). What a blessing those were! I think our church organized it, and the city was divided into "grids". Groups of people would walk through the neighborhood in their assigned section, praying for the people living there. I decided to start praying for the people on my street on Blue Sky Lane, for their health, their safety, for healing for family relationships, and anything else that comes to mind! Hmmm.... Could this be the start of an organized prayer walk group for our subdivision? Perhaps so....

Anyway, the countdown is on, and I'm up for the challenge! Supposed to be some rain and hail later today, so hope to get in a run before the storm!
