Comments: Except for a disappointing race, I remembered what I was running for--dedicating the run for my friends who battled cancer and prayed for friends who are battling cancer. Every time I felt the weariness of my legs as well as the lack of sleep, the Lord brought to my mind that my friends who battle cancer had no choice but to endure pain that was not of their choosing. That motivated me not to stop and to persevere and run through the race.
As I am contemplating and preparing to train for a sprint triathlon, I am using this experience to understand how my body reacts to adverse situations and to be to work through it.
