Tomorrow!!

I can't believe it's here! My first 5K is tomorrow! I am so excited. Yesterday my friend, Charity and I ran/walked 3 and 1/2 miles. As we ran a mile and then another, we said to each look how far we've come. And it really is amazing to look back at where we were at the beginning of this year and see that hardwork and discipline pays off.

I do ask for your prayers for tomorrow's run as I've encountered an obstacle I did not count on--injury. Last weekend I tripped in a hole and started having lower back pain that was affecting my leg too but after icing it down several times, it seems to have gotten better. But then today at work somehow I strained my knee. I'm not even sure how I did it other than I walking and stopped abruptly and felt my knee kinda scream. I've never done anything like that before! It has swolen a bit so I've iced it down, got a brace for tomorrow's run and have read Hebrews 12:12 several times over.

Hebrews 12:12 "Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees."

Injury will not stop me though because this goal is within reach now and a sore knee is not going to be an excuse for not completing tomorrow's run. I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me! That scripture has been a favorite among the Boot Camp team and it will carry us all through tomorrow. Look out for the ones in the COGI Boot Camp t-shirts because tomorrow here we come!!
