9/4/09 Update

Considering I'm officially on a short vacay, I decided to update you on the day in one post. Efficient I know...lol. If you've been following along, today is the 18 hour fast, and I feel great. I was concerned about how I would feel after my run...and then at noon (for that is when I start to hit the wall), but I did very well.

While running, I was listening to the rest of Romans and was highly motivated and inspired to push threw the pain. "If God is for me, who can be against me"....one of the scriptures that was resounding through my head as I ran and listen to Paul's message to us.

I was praying, giving glory, shouting (well not to loud) as I was exercising and felt renewed once I got done. I plan to incorporate monthly fasting as way to renew and refocus from now on. I thank Coach Johnson for having me do this.
