| X-Country was my sport when I was in high school. It was fun, yes, actually fun. Running mile after mile and competing in 3 miles races was actually fun and exhilarating.
Now, being the fatty that I am... as Mr Normal so nicely put it,
running isn't really one of my strong points. But still, I try! Today I
ran 5.2 miles with my dad. I didn't give up and I didn't stop until I
felt like my legs were going to fall off (which was at 3 miles). And
even then, it was only speed walking for half a block to catch my
breathe and take a sip of water. Then we ran up the hill called Euclid.
The hard part wasn't really running, but keeping my mind focused to
finish off what I started. The road is a series of hills so it's
somewhat strenuous, but I thought I could do it. After finishing and
ending up at Parks Jr High and finishing off walking a mile, it was
somewhat relaxing. Sure, my thighs were killing me and I formed a
blister along the way, but it was worth it to spend some time with my
dad and to prove to myself that 5 miles isn't as daunting at all.
26 miles! Here I come!

| "Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain"
after rain the sun always shines through
if it takes rain, let it pour!!!!!
