Some days, I start out my run and I have self-doubt.
I don't want to look at the watch to see my pace.
I have aches and pains that make me wonder if I will be ready for the race.
I listen to voices in my head that I'm not good enough.
But, there are moments I have on a run sometimes when I push myself and feel like I'm walking on sunshine. Today, Jason and I ran a couple of laps down by UW on a trail by Lake WA. The first lap, I was trying to keep up with Jason and then found my stride and finished strong. The second lap around, we went faster and I still felt like I had more to give.
Days like this help build confidence for the times when that seems miles away.
Taylor, I think this rollercoaster is just the way our minds play games with us, but I hope you will know that there is a truth deeper than all of this....
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6
The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread? Psalm 27:1
