Having
never ran over a mile in my life I decided before hitting the battleground that
I should at least see what 3.11 miles looks like. A
week into training I signed up with my wife's family to run the One In A
Million 5k in Livingston . Well we all finished and I
accomplished something I've never done before.
So
knowing this Warrior Dash was going to be more than 3.11 miles of paving I knew
I'd have to prepare. Now before you think I went all P90X or Insanity I just
want to clarify that I will not be setting a winning time at the Warrior Dash.
However I do know I will finish along with three of my friends. For
the past 7 week I've been running twice a week with strength workouts
throughout the week. Knowing it will be a lot different from the three miles
we've been running, I pray we are able to run, climb, crawl, swim, and jump
through that battleground victoriously.
Zechariah
10:5
They
will be like mighty warriors in battle, trampling their enemies in the mud
under their feet. Since the Lord is with them as they fight, they will
overthrow even the enemy’s horsemen.
Okay
so this isn't exactly talking about Warrior Dash but I love that God is with us
and will give his children strength.
Zechariah
10:12
By my
power I will make my people strong, and by my authority they will go wherever
they wish. I, the Lord, have spoken!”
Zechariah's
commentary and footnotes are great as well.
They
shall have God’s favor and presence, and shall be owned and accepted of Him.
This is the foundation of all the rest: The Lord is with them, Zech. 10:5. They are encouraged to expect
strength and success from Him in all their struggles with the enemies. He
espouses their cause, takes their part, is on their side; and, if He be for
them, who can be against them?
Warrior Dash is Oct 13th and I am looking forward to posting
some pictures as well.
