Resting Up

Yesterday and today will be days of rest for me in preparation for my first 5K run on Saturday morning.  I am grateful to have two running advisors.  My lead pastor will be in Roanoke Saturday so he won’t be there for my first race.  That just sounds so weird — my first 5K race.  It is being sponsored by the 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team.  The money raised by this race will go toward building a World War II Memorial for this unit here in Staunton.  I registered for the race today and am looking forward to this race.

Two other men from church will be running on Saturday.  My goal is to finish — simply to finish.  The forecast for Saturday morning is 28 degrees and clear — so it will be chilly.  I hope to have pictures.  I’ll update you on Saturday afternoon how I did.  Pressing On…
