Blog #1

I am writing this, pretending to be revising in the Library at Uni. Mike is playing squash and I am feeling rather unmotivated.

Today I did a big deal thing.. I have decided to do a 10K run in June- and instead of doing it on my own I will be doing it with some of my coursemates. I am excited and nervous about this, I shall post further following each training session- so this is to be a kind of training blog- and also a way of processing the stuff that goes on in my head when I am running, and praying.

So; today I went to the gym and did a fast 3k (well, fast for me) and 25 mins on the cross trainer, then I did some weights. For some reason I have been really hungry all day, but made a choice to have an expensive low GI sandwich at lunch; rather than have some junk that I fancied.... (I then had the junk later !!)

I am in a rather different situation to most- in that in my training for this 10k I DONT want to lose weight. I am happy- my BMI is about 20 and I would rather like to put on a tad.

My understanding of God's love for me today has been in the way I have just felt free to go ahead and enjoy the extra free time that I have had. I know that it is ok just to go be with Him; and know His majesty. As I am playing this, I am listening to the song by James Taylor- Fire and rain.... this is a beautiful song.
'Won't you look down on me Jesus- help me get through another day' I love it.

I am not going to blog over the weekend as we are going to my parent's in Shap. Back on Sunday. No training until Monday to give my body a rest.
