Happy Marathon Monday! I'm keeping this one short because I honestly forgot about it until now, and I'm trying to go to bed earlier this week.
I did six miles after work today, and it was good. I missed my long run this past weekend, but I'm supposed to do 20 miles this coming weekend, so I'm going to focus on that and maybe break up the miles I missed into several short runs. Whatever. Overall, I'm doing pretty well with training and feeling back on track mentally. I'm doing my best to get out of my head about feeling like what I'm doing is not enough or feeling pressured to be faster.
Training for long races is such a mental game - you have to win it there first - and that applies to so many things in life. Regular time outside walking and jogging is challenging me to control what I focus on. I can focus on feeling awash in rejection/confusion or focus on God being a God of abundance and trust that He has good things in store for me. Temporary truth vs. eternal truth - it's a daily, moment-by-moment choice of mindset, and what we focus on will grow! #BOLD
So I'm reminding myself right here tonight that God's grace is enough for today's needs, and He is worthy of my absolute trust. And tomorrow, His grace will be enough for tomorrow's needs. And He will be worthy of our absolute trust. Right now, I need to be intentional about pursuing peace, and I need to rest and sleep, so that's the plan. =) Be kind to yourself, and lean into the grace of God for whatever you need today! His mercy is new every morning, and He knows what is best for us individually, and He patiently guides us along that path. ❤
