I completed the Ramsey Abbey 10k road race today. The first competitive race for some years. Hence, not the fastest of times! But I was please to finish and to notch up another small milestone as I prepare for the London Marathon 2011.
The worst part of the race was running on rough tracks that forced you to slow down. The best part? The finish of course!
Paul writes in the Bible about running. It’s one of my favourite passages and very apt for both road races and the race we all run in this life:
I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back.
So let's keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you'll see it yet! Now that we're on the right track, let's stay on it.
Philippians 3: 12-16, Message Version
