At this time last year I was training for the Oklahoma City Memorial Half Marathon. I had just run my first half marathon 4 months ago in Dallas and was looking forward to the OKC Half. On the drive back to Amarillo, after the race, the girls that I run with and I were already talking about running it again in 2009. When it came time to start training again, I just could not get motivated. 10 mile training runs are hard for me when I am motivated, but they are excruciating when I'm not. I was having a conversation with my dad and I told him that my heart just wasn't in it. He asked what my heart is in.
Right now my heart is in being Abigail and Rebecca's mom. I am so painfully aware of just how fast they are growing up and I want to make the most of these precious years when they want to spend time with their mom/mommy.
My heart is also in developing my relationship with God. You see, we weren't created to just believe in God. He wants us to get to know Him, learn His ways and love what He loves. I feel like I have recently made some significant strides in that direction, but I still have a very long way to go. So I guess you could say that my heart is not in running long distances right now, but in walking...
walking with my God.
