Run the race with perseverance

"Run with endurance the race that God has set before you”

I am thinking about entering a triathlon next year. Swim 2 miles, run 6 miles, cycle 20 miles - ouch. I am no way in shape to do that but I want to be.

I had a moment of truth yesterday because I want to enter the race but the only thing that is holding me back is whether or not I have a training buddy. I so know I need that. There are two guys who are keen to do the race together but are unsure whether they can commit to train together due to work shifts and other commitments.

Strange isn't it how my sole concern is that I have someone to run with me, make sure I follow through on my big statements, eat well, sleep well, and then actually get in the car at the end and drive to London!


Such is the Kingdom of God - the way we run the race set before us is directly linked to those who can run with us (separate race) but next to you nevertheless.
