Be A Kid At Heart.... +

Let Go And Let God.... + A Favorite Song.... ( : "Where Are The Children".... +
God's Word Today: Luke 18:16.... +
....16: But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
.
Inspired Thoughts: We are the (Children of God), and when we come to God or Jesus with Holy Ghost power for any reason we need to come as a little child. Humble, honest, and not afraid of anything.
.
Be A Kid At Heart.... +
....Sometimes we need to do just this = "Be A Kid At Heart". Because many times we take things way to serious, and with that it only brings us pain when we don't do everything we want to do.
....Most kids you see at a local 5k race only cares about 1-thing. That 1-thing I've seen many times is (Getting to the Finish-Line). They put there whole heart into it just like we do, but they are also having fun. But many times over that's not how it is with me = Adults.
....We are always looking for different things, such as an age group trophy, a faster time, and so on. Yes I always enjoyed these things, but we should never take the fun out of our running even when we show up for the local 5k.
....This week I started back after a little lay-off again. It's when our life in general is not fun anymore that we get lazy. Lazy on God, a lazy runner, etc. But if we are in good health, getting our bills paid even though we only break even at times we should be happy, and have fun with everything we do. When we let go of the happiness in us and quit having fun we will never (Run like God wants us to Run). Not in the "Spiritual or Physical", and all God really wants is for us to be happy.
....He even sent his only begotten Son-Jesus to die for us, and with that many are saved through the blood Jesus so freely gave us on Calvary's Cross. That includes me and my family = "Andrew-Roxie-Jimmy", many family members, and friends that I know, ( : "Thank-God." +
.
,,,,So with a new start this week, I plan to get happy and do my best to take every day from now on as a little child. I want to "Be A Kid At Heart".... + M Prayers are with you that (You-Do-The-Same-Thing). In the end we will have more peace & joy than we could have ever imagined in Heaven.
.
Inspired "Running" Thoughts: Don't be so serious all the time. Make it happy, and I'm sure your running will be blessed beyond measure. That is with God's help = God, Jesus, & the Holy Ghost.... +

Resting My Back.... +

Let Go And Let God.... + JacobsHeart.... ( : "Resting In God's Arms".... +
God's Word Today: Psalm 116:7.... +
....7: Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
.
Inspired Thoughts: No matter what we are facing in this life, or what we are up against we are still always "Resting In God's Arms".... +
....There may be some mountains to climb, but God is right there with us teaching us to climb.... ( :
....There may be some valleys to walk through, but again Jesus is right there with us leading the way, and giving us added strength to help us make it to the other side.... +
.
WITH = God, Jesus, & the Holy Ghost, there is simply nothing we cannot do.... ( :
.
Resting My Back.... +
....I decided to rest my back this week with very little running, continue to take my meds, and be ready to start fresh next week. That is, with some serious running 5-days on with 2-days off for now. I will add mileage to my overall weekly total as time goes on, and in the end, (with God's help & strength to run), be ready to do some local racing.
.
....My goal is to race the War Party 10k on Saurday - January 30, 2010. The "Race" takes place at Warriors Path State Park in Kingsport, Tennessee. The same place where on February 13, 1999 I finished 4th overall and ran my 10k-PR in a time of 38.57.06 which equals (6.18) pace.
.
....Beginning this Sunday - August 15, 2009 I will have 24-solid weeks to get ready for my goal race, and with God's help I can surely be ready to race when that time comes. I've got all the running gear I need including shoes = 2-pair of Asics DS Trainers, 2-pair of Asics SD Turbo, a pair of New Balance 430's, & 2-pair of Nike Shox.
.
So nothing can stop me now, but "ME". So with God's help and the support of my family I will see no more lazzzzy-days ahead of me. God has richly blessed me so much in my running and if I know God, Jesus, & the Holy Ghost this time will be no different = I truly ( : "Thank-God." 4/That.... + I also truly ( : "Thank-God." 4/My Family = (Roxie & Andrew) that loves to see Dad run.... +
.
Inspired "Running" Thoughts: Sometimes we need the added rest. My ole "Back" is feeling alot better, but to benefit my running I'm taking this week off to completely rest, continue to take my meds, and be ready to start fresh next week.

Rock-n-Roll Running.... +

Let Go And Let God.... + JacobsHeart.... ( : "My Foot Is On the Rock And My Name Is On the Roll".... +
God's Word Today: 1 Corinthians 10:4
....4: And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
>>>>>>> ( :
Revelation 13:8
....8: And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
.
Inspired Thoughts: Like the song says "My Foot Is On The Rock and My Name Is On The Roll".... +
....JESUS is the Rock, and I stand upon him daily to make it in this "Spiritual Race" that we Christians are all running. Without Jesus I know for sure that I would never make it home = Heaven.
....My name (Jimmy) is written in the (Lamb's Book of Life) which is God's Roll. One day (God) will make his "Roll Call" and all those that he calls will enter into the joys of the Lord = Heaven.
.
Rock-n-Roll Running.... +
1) (Jesus is the Rock) and my (Strength to Run). If I will stand on him daily I can accomplish anything from a fast 5k to another Marathon. It's up to me what I choose to do, but it's God that gives me the strength to do it. I truly "Thank-God" for that "Strength" every single day.
.
2) (My Name is on God's Roll) which is the (Lamb's Book of Life). With that I have joy to run knowing that if God calls me home at any moment I will be in Heaven. What a great feeling it is to have your sins under Jesus Prescious Blood, and to be ready at any moment to fly to Heaven.
.
....I decided yesterday to end my GOAL "Running-Streak" with only 13-days into it. I have decided to run 5-days each week with 2 full days of rest. So my new schedule will go something like this.
Sunday = "Off".... +
Monday = 7-miles
Tuesday = 8-miles
Wednesday = "Off".... ( :
Thursday = 8-miles
Friday = 7-miles
Saturday = 10-miles
----
For a weekly total of 40-miles.
( : "Thank-God." +
----
....The reason is I want to get everything I can out of my running and deep down I think 2-days off each week will help me alot more than it will hurt me. Plus it gives my body (including my ole "back") a couple of breaks each week to completely rest. I always took 1 or 2-days off before and it never hurt my times, and I'm completely sure with God's help and strength to run this time will be no different, ( : "Thank-God." +
.
Inspired "Running" Thoughts: Bruce Robison, (A runner & friend), told me I should maybe take 2-days off each week. Well I've thought alot about what he said and it sonds like aplan to me.
....My ole "Back" seems to ache more than it used to, and 2-days of rest will certainly help a runner more than it will hurt one. "Thanks for the advice, Man". I pray that (God) will bless all "Las Vegas Runners including Bruce Robison".... +

Day Thirteen.... +

Let Go And Let God.... + JacobsHeart.... ( : "Let Go And Let God Fight".... +
In God's Word: 1 John 4:4.... +
....4: Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.... +
.
Inspired Thoughts: Yes when it seems that there is no hope in our battles down here, if we will stand in the midst of the battle, "Let Go And Let God Fight" we will win every time. God has overcome the world, so that means God in us has also overcome the world, ( : "Thank-God." 4/That.... +
.
Day Thirteen.... +
....Creeper Trail = 1m in (9.28).... + A very easy mile to end my week. I hope to get going with my goal running schedule next week, and end up with 40 total miles run = But only with God's grace & his strength to run.... +
.
Inspired "Running" Thoughts: Running fast all the time will only lead to 1-thing = INJURY.... ( : Now you don't want that do you???? I sure don't.... +
