Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NIV) I am a Christian a Husband, a Father, and of course a Marathon runner. What more could anyone ask?

The list just gets longer


Now I am going to do this. Add that to a nearly endless list of stuff. Include a teenage son getting ready to drive a teenage duaghter (enuff said) and a 12 year old son who can't wait to be my next teenage son, so he feels the need to begin the teenage son ass process now. Oh well we only have one chance in the crazy life might as well do as much as we can. beside in six weeks I am here for 4 days then here for week. So as the saying goes I will get plenty of sleep when Im dead.

be careful out there

Daily Motivation:


"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement." - Steve Prefontaine
