Day 23

Before and After

My time: 35:20

Yes, I ran about 6 minutes faster than I have been all week. I feel like every time I really start to lose motivation on this running thing, God gives me something good to pick me back up, whether through the total, or good news about people finding out about the project, etc. Or like today, when my wonderful dad gave me a new pair of running shoes for my birthday! (It's not my birthday yet for a little longer though)

I'm so thankful, it feels so much better to run now. For the past several weeks the balls of my feet have really been hurting and they didn't at all today. I actually enjoyed my run. Part of that is due to the fact that it is a lot cooler in the evening, also.

I am so blessed, and many of us are, so can we please give back? How much is it going to hurt us to give $20, or even $50, or even $100? Will you donate today?

p.s. I just realized I have run nearly 85 miles already since the summer started! I absolutely can't believe that! I have also run a total of almost 16 hours (approximately 15 hr 40 min).
