Craft Mission

I have been blown away by the athletic prowess of my incredible, built of pure dedication and strength, dynamic, amazing (in the truest sense of the word) brother who has ran every day this year. EVERY DAY! He has run for 42 days straight. My mind? Where is it? It's lost! Blown away! His endeavor has encouraged me to get off my lazy butt and train for a 5k two weeks from now. I went on the elliptical for 30 minutes last night medium strength with 5 minutes backwards (that's what killed me). Surprisingly enough the only sore part of me in my biceps. I guess I didn't think to stretch them last night. Stretching is such a beautiful thing. Anyway my bike should be here tomorrow and I could not be more excited because my pedals got here yesterday. Trying to work is pretty much pointless because I can't think about anything but it. I know it's just a thing but it's such a darn cool thing! It's good though because when I think to much on it then I feel guilty and start praying so actually my bike has helped me be more godly and I haven't even touched it yet. Ha ha ha. My father-in-law has a copy of the Bible read dramatically and I think I'll try to get it so when I go on long rides I can get my bible reading in. (Which hasn't been nearly 'in' enough for quite some time.) Anyway, I hope all of you who read this will be encouraged to train for something or at least get out and exercise(maybe not a psychotic run in 10 degree weather but something nonetheless). From everything I've read it's much better and fruitful to be training for something or for some specific reason rather than just for the sake of exercising. You will see better results. I will let you in a couple weeks if I think this is true. My goal is to complete the 5k in less than 30 minutes. Meanwhile... I'll figure out how to do a fartlek.
