my legs hurt. they throb. they feel heavy. i do not want to move. i know i am gaining muscle, but was fat so bad? i do not want to move, but i must. i want to quit, i want to lie down in the middle of the street (i've only done it once), but something stirs me up to move... to run.
i hear it inside me, "run Denise, run... a little farther...a little more...run."

Wide Open Graces
"By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us- set us right with him, make us fit for him- we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that's not all; We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his doors to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand- out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting praise."
"Even in childhood was implanted within me a trace of that mysterious unity from which I was derived" St. Augustine
Everybody has to change or they expire. Everybody has to leave, leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons. I want to keep my soul fertile for the changes, so things keep getting born in me, so things keep dying when it is time for things to die. I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago. Only a good story has a character that's different at the end than it was in the beginning.

"So here's what I want you to do,
God helping you:
Take your everyday, ordinary life -
your sleeping, eating, going-to-work,
and walking-around life -
and place it before God as an offering.
Embracing what God does for you
is the best thing you can do for him."

Come on Denise, you can do it!
The coach for our marathon keeps reminding us that pain is weakness leaving the body. You are getting stronger - good for you keep it up!
that is beautiful kristen. i want to look at it that way. ugghhh, but i sure do have a lot of weakness.
that little voice inside you is actually your bladder telling you if you don't run it will!
You can do it Denise!! I'm there with you! We can do it together!!
Run Denise run. See Denise run. Denise can run far. Denise can run fast. Denise is out of breath and her
legs feel like jello. See Denise run.

Yes!! Keep running.
I want to know what you've only "done once" - run or lie down in the middle of the street? =)
And yes, if it makes you feel any better, I would LOVE to live near you and eat choclate chip cookies and talk about our out of style clothes. =)
Roofus!!!
Yay Denise! Running is the best!
Way to go!
I'll start running soon, I promise. :)
You need to take a picture of you wearing those snazzy new running shoes!
