Chronicles of a Trail-Runner-Newbie

Morning on the Trail

I've enjoyed running since 2010 when I completed my first half-marathon.  Over the past 4 years, I've run off and on and typically gone too far too soon and ended up with a layoff due to an overuse injury . . . IT-Band Syndrome, Peroneal Tendinitis, ruptured lining between my heel bone and whatever the other bone is called that meets up with that one.

After almost a year off from running, I began easing back into it and then . . . it happened.

Spiritual Myopia

Sitting down this afternoon to plan out worship sets for this Sunday morning . . . struggling a bit.  My mind is constantly invaded . . . distracted by this heart-ache that punches me in the gut.  So, I thought I'd post my thoughts.

I was reading back over this post from June 7th of 2013 . . . the year I turned 40 . . . and thought I'd share the content of that post again.  It's a good reminder for me as I continue on the journey of getting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Right now I'm training for two runs that are coming up in . . .
