me 2

I've been meaning to post something positive to counteract everyone-else's depressing posts in the last few weeks....but what can I say...my running hasnt been goin great either...hahah. ahhh well....If you can beat em, you might as well join em right?

After spring break, I had been sick for a loooong time. I coughed soooooo MUCh. it was disgusting. it wasnt even productive coughing, just a dry horrible hack. the only positive thing that came out of it was that I gave myself a good ab workout. haha.

Then easter came and I FINALLY felt better after being home a few days. The next week I just focused on getting back into running and i seemed to snap right back. BUT, sadly to say, after racing on Saturday and then doing a long run the next day, my knee has been acting up again. And I now feel drained of energy more so than ever.

When my knee first started hurting, Russ and I thought for sure it would heal up in a couple weeks. Now, over a YEAR later, it still bugs me. :o( I have decided that this will just be something I am going to live with...

ok. now for something positive:

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:28-31)

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)
