Encouraging Email

I just received this email from the coordinator of the WorldVision team for the 2007 Chicago Marathon. The email was a good reminder.

************************

Sometimes I don’t feel like running.
Sometimes when I go out for a run I feel like quitting.
Sometimes my legs are tired.
Sometimes I’m emotionally drained.
Sometimes I forget how good I feel when I run.
Sometimes I forget my purpose for running.

In the next five weeks you will face some tough training days. We all do.
It’s part of the marathon experience. Maybe you are right on track with
your training, or maybe you are a little discouraged. Maybe you’re
wondering if you have it in you to do this crazy thing called the marathon.
You do have it in you. You can do it. When you feel like giving up, the
answer is simple. Don’t. Remember why you are running, and be encouraged
that it will all be worth it.

I am so glad you are on our Team.
