Every Sunday from here on out until the marathon, I'll be trying to add one more mile to my base. So last week, it was 13, today was 14, next week is 15 (and so on until we bump up to a couple of crazy 20 mile or so runs in April). In some ways, this feels daunting because even though I've done this 9 times before in training for marathons, it always feels like a test.
I'm about to start the new quarter at SPU this week, and the quarter ahead is the same amount of time I have left in my training plan.
By the time graduation weekend hits, I'll be at that start line ready for the gun to go off.
It's like the saying about how to eat an elephant-- one bite at a time.
How to run a marathon- one mile at a time.
As you face challenges that seem daunting whatever they may be, I am praying that you will take them one step at a time and not try to tackle the whole thing at once.
One more step.
One more mile.
One more mile.
And before long, you've gone so much further than you even dreamed you could.
