I’m letting the cat out of the bag. Mary from the morning show is running the Columbus ½ marathon and I’m running the full marathon on Oct 21st. You can actually run with us; we’re calling ourselves the River Runners- our sponsor this year are the terrific folks at Columbus Running Co. To register to run with Mary or Pastor John along with more details; visit the website at 1049TheRiver.
The next couple of months I’ll be focusing my devotional blasts of truth on running. Truth is we are all running life’s race. A marathon is not meant to be run like a 100 meter dash…no; life is a marathon which must be paced. If you’ve ever run a ½ or full marathon you know it’s not easy. There are ups and downs, doubts, struggles and sometimes you experience the runners high. In running there are injuries and disappointments; you may fall, you may twist an ankle, you may have an Achilles issue, runner’s knee, hamstring issues, the dreaded plantar fasciitis or shinsplints. To be sure; at the end of the day, it’s always a joy to have preserved and finished
If you’d like prayer, or just someone to talk to, even about running, email PastorJohn@1049TheRiver.com.
