For the last 10 kilometers, it was by the grace and strength of God. I had totally forgotten what it would be like from the 33 kilometer marker to the finish line! How those last 10 kilometers felt like a life time.
Alan and Abby were there. How wonderful it was to see them.
I sat down, took off my shoes, and washed off my legs. It just felt so good to have my shoes off.
Then to my utter surprise, I hear my name being called!
I hobbled over to the stage and was awarded first place in my division! Amazing!
Seek Him First!
what was your time and what division and what did you get oxoxoxxo
ReplyDeleteI thought I was going to get some cash prize. But no... I just got a trophy. 51+ division. First Place. 4:07! Now, I went and looked. Three years ago -- 4:18. So I improved. And I have not done a long run in a year and a half. So, I know it was GOD who carried me through! Yes, I was hoping for under 4. But, right now, just to cross the finish line is amazing. Perhaps I will join another one in three years!
