You get out what you put in

Thu - Worked hard walking and sorting car parts all day, tired, but got up for playing ball, was an okay point guard but lost the ball turning my back on Ronnie, he played like the best guy on the court, need to be more of a scorer when my shot is the best option, lost last game to tennis HS kid w/ bad elbow hitting 3 straight 3s.
Sat - morning, 25 quick minutes up neighborhood dead ends, felt pretty clean and fast after opening dregs, worked hard lifting and moving

Great early morning run on the hills of Bristol. Awesome, but sure felt farther than 5 1/2 miles. Did some other excursions up driveways to houses. Danger! Felt sore while shopping at Sam's later so I know this was a good run.

Some good disc golf with some good amateurs at Steel Creek park, 9 holes.
Thu - good trail run around S. Holston Lake w/ Paul, 34 minutes jog
Fri - run in morning to King Univ. around disc golf course, grassy area, into restricted barbed wire area, treed it over, home sweat good; King disc golf w/ Paul

Perfect day for a race, 60s and overcast. Small local TN race, didn't look like there was any ringers to lose to. One young brother combination but we started and I ran with a muscled dark Asian guy behind the two brothers. I told him we were the hounds, as we continued on Piedmont I was running easy and caught up to the brothers, the younger one wanted to challenge slightly, but I passed him before Euclid and opened up to run. Up the hill following the cop, good directions and people at every turn. I was 6:40 at the first mile, not sure about the mile marker but I was going slower and it was uphill, highest part of the course. The cop actually missed the turn into the project neighborhoods down Buchanan but he caught me going into Buckner, down the steep hill to Oakview I'd get close to him as I let the hill take me. I felt like I was running at a good pace, of course retrospectively it seems I could go faster but I was pushing, big difference between uphill and downhill, came down into where the 1 milers were entering, got some cheers. Pushed home into parking lot, sprinted in, probably a good time for the course. Feel good about it, but  no competition, looking forward to getting pushed in the shape I'm in. Won $100 Visa card for my efforts, good prizes at the end, free bike rental drawing for 4 gave to Paul and Amber. Excellent local race, 1st ever Caterpillar. 4th race won in my life?

Thank you Lord, for giving me the strength to run, for blessing me with endurance and with a family that nurtures my soul. Thank you for the beautiful Smoky mountains and the town of Bristol, may you be praised by the many congregations there who glorify your name, may we come to adore you more by the beauty of your creation and the grace you show in our lives, the unconditional love and the fellowship we have in the unity of your Spirit, Amen.

Fri - disc golf, got star disc, played w/ Matt (carried discs) and Brandy (boyfriend moves baskets) w/ 3 new discs, 1m

w/u on wood chips, very low key race, got Phin taken care of w/ Tricia and started under the banner. 2 HSrs and 30s guy and I caught up to a fellow runner with cap and ran beside him. Told him we'd cruise the first lap and catch them the second. We did cruise and one HSr in black shorts was beating the one in green and being tracked by the 30s guy. We hit the joggers around the top of the park and I ran more in the road, seeing how the amateurs ahead were dodging the crowd. Easily pulled away from cap partner, I told him I'd won a race the week before and the 2nd guy ran 21:00, that's what he ended up running!
The leaders were 50 yards on me, the green HSr stopped to tie his shoe, and then I was third. When we got on the S side I started to run on the walkway and dodge runners, I was a little surprised at how hard it felt, but a race is a race, pulled alongside them on E side and 30s guy let me go, HSr didn't know where the finish was so I told him, he then confided that he felt like throwing up. So I courteously kicked it home down the finish road.
Won a raffle prize too! Bees tickets, played in park with P man and then lunch w/ Kyle and disc golf and helped Mark move his stuff in my basement.

2 Cor 5:21 "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him."

Simple enough verse, what does it mean? God the Father Accepted God the Son's perfect rightousness so we can be holy and be with God forever. Only God could bridge the gap between human and divine. It's not my works or effort, it's my belief in Him, the sent one, Jesus. Amen
