Still We Press On...

Well the weather still hasn't gotten any better. This morning the wind chill was 13 so yep on the treadmill again, 15 miles. Last week I got to do 18 outside, it was almost 35! Woo Hoo. The two previous weeks were 17 and 15 on yet again on the treadmill. All this has given me time to reflect on why do I do this. Why would anyone get up at 6:00 on a Saturday to run or to get up at 4:30 on a workday to hit the pool at 5:00 before going to work at 6:00, and the only answer I can come up with is because I can. Because I want to have grandkids some day and I want to see them grow up. But aside from the health benefits, because it feels great. Moving forward, feeling you heart beat harder faster, pushing your body to its absolute limits and then why you think you cant give any more, you keep going. Its like that line from Chariots of Fire, " ... and when I run I feel His pleasure". Its about being everything God created us to be. Thats why I tri. There is such an excellent season ahead and I can wait. Every ounce of my body quivers when I think about the races coming up this year. 2007 is gonna rock. Buckle up my friends it going to be a wild ride!
