Every Move I Make and Every Breath I Take

In an effort to get warm, yesterday, I reluctantly put on those running shoes and other cool weather attire and headed down the driveway for a 2 mile jog. I still dislike running, and it takes everything I have to get out and do it. I am so proud of Cristin, who told me just the other day, "I'm actually ENJOYING running, now!" Who'd a thunk it? I have heard about this "runner's high" but thus far, it has eluded/evaded me!

Anyways, since I lost my MP3 player over a month ago, I have resorted to dwell on the things of God to distract me from the pain of the jog. [Maybe losing my MP3 was God's idea all along! ;-)] Songs come to my mind which prompt me to think of people which prompts me to pray, or vice-versa. For instance, on yesterday's jog, the Lord reminded me of a high school friend - also my roommate our freshman year at UofM. She was/is a cross country runner. Honestly...I was thinking of the time she took me out on a "warm-up" run the afternoon before my MMB (Michigan Marching Band) concert in Hill Auditorium. She assured me it would be easy...5 miles later, I thought I was going to DIE!!! But I did learn some great tips about running from her. It seems I had a type of "High Step" jog - could that have come from MMB high stepping stadium entries??? She taught me to keep my feet close to the ground, so I would conserve energy, which has been very helpful this year as I trained for my triathlon. Reminiscing about Jan prompted me to pray for her.

One prayer lead to another which lead to another...running - exercise - health - parents - children (far away; some far from home, some far from God) - life decisions - life direction - God's provision...It was an awesome time bringing my friends, their families, and burdens before the Lord. The miles passed, and I ended with breath left to sing:
