Ask & You Shall Receive!!!
For those of you who study the Bible there are numerous references to "Asking & Receiving", Matthew 7:7, Luke 11:9, John 14:14, John 16:23, Philippians 4:19, to name a few. God...The Universe is perfect and provides perfectly, we must only ask. So be carful for what you ask.
I have been toying with the notion of running a marathon...If you know me you might ask why since I have not run more than 4 miles required in my P.E. class in highschool over 30 years ago. I have never really felt the need to run before so why now? . . . I don't know....however, for those that do know me....I don't do regret...I just do! I began by asking a few friends that have participated in Team in Training and other running organizations. I gave a couple of organization names to my wife and with a few strokes of the keys we were signed up with "San Jose Fit" to train for a half-marathon in September. We registered on the last sign-up day for this year.
On Saturday we were informed our first run would be 4 miles. After 30 years I ran, walked and limped my way through 4 miles and began my trek to a marathon. It happened much faster than I ever expected and had no intention of ever jumping in so quickly. Fortunately the Universe does not know time...it only provides perfectly....
