So, I've got three weeks til the big race and I have to admit that my "training" hasn't been going well. I got sick last week with a upper respiratory infection and apparently it's very difficult to breath when strickin with such a thing (especially when you try to run... yes, i tried it). So, I am feeling a little discouraged, like I can't do this... and I REALLY want to. I'm notorious for starting things like this and then talking myself out of them. So, on one hand I'm like, "ya know, it's not the end of the world. I could just do a 5K or a 10K instead... but I WANT to do the half!"
Then on the other hand I think, "ya know what Lord, you made this body and you know exactly what it is capable of doing and you are MORE than capable to allow it to do ANYTHING! Because "nothing is too hard for Jesus," (learned that in kids branch today)."
So, maybe I'm just writing this to get some encouragement. I've got three weeks left and I know that God can do anything He wants to with me in those 3 weeks.
Lord, I pray for a supernatural strength and willingness to finish my training strong for these next 3 weeks. Give me restful sleep, an appetite for good and wholesome foods, and a hunger for Your Word to sustain me. Help me to remember to ask for my "daily bread" each day. Protect my body from injury and my mind from discouraging thoughts. I love you so much and am honored that You would allow me to do incredible things with this temple you have given me. Remind me to be respectful of it. Thank you for the people reading this. I pray you would bless their day tomorrow beyond any expectations they may or may not have. Love you.

You can do it Jess! I am certainly praying for you, and know that reading your blog has given me courage and inspiration to pick up running again. Maybe we can run a race together sometime later this year. Just know that you are loved and being prayer for. Be blessed!
