15 years ago tomorrow I made decision to start my running journey. I found a running app, read about starting an active journey and pulled out a pair of shoes I used to play other sports. I had a lot of learning to do! 😆. I committed to give God the glory for every step and off I went! Looking back I would have saved a lot of time hiring a running coach but honestly at the time, financially, it wasn’t an option.

Over 10,000 miles later I can stay the decision to start my exercise journey was one of the best decisions of my life. Physically speaking in 2011, I wasn’t the biggest guy, but I felt sluggish, lazy and had low energy amongst other things. I had to make a change. Before my running journey my activity was playing basketball maybe once a week. Just not enough.

I can’t express enough how important it is to take a step of faith and make the decision to get active physically with movement of you haven’t already. Whether walking, running or cycling make the lifestyle change today. Incorporate prayer while exercising and see God move in your life in a powerful way. You got this - Let’s go!! God is with you.

Today’s run / walk with my good friend Lei was a great time of fellowship.

Run, walk and hike 10k done out to the Eisenhower Park tower. What a blessing to get up early and get some miles in listening to worship music along the way. God is good!

Getting in a 10k today with negative splits and some elevation which felt great. No rain, no humidity, what a blessing. Have a great finish to the week!

Thankful to get a nice run in early this morning at a trail I had not been on in years. Great weather and awesome time getting some miles in. Keep moving and stay

First 10k of the year had some elevation in certain parts so this was more of a run / walk for me but so enjoyed the trails and time in prayer. Keep moving!

Great activity and views in Flower Mound, Texas. If you live nearby in the Dallas area, come check out the Riverwalk trails. Walk, run , and more walking while enjoying the views. Get outdoors, stay active and God bless!

Squeezed in a run today and praying over the upcoming team call this upcoming Sunday afternoon for His wisdom and guidance. My wife and I will be sharing about diligence, discipline and the desire to put faith and Jesus first in your exercise activity and in life. Join us if you can, it will be a great time meeting up and sharing.

What scripture keeps you focused and diligent in your faith journey?

Mill running today because of the heavy rain. Thankful to get some running and prayer done. Looking forward to Sunday!

“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭

Late afternoon run / walk. Trying to acclimate to the humidity and heat of South Texas which is already here. This pic shows one of my favorite parts of the trail.

Staying active for Christ.

Nice cool morning for a fantastic run, walk and hike. I went up from the Rim trailhead to Eisenhower Park. First part was run, middle was walk and hike up the rocky trail and the last 2.5 miles was a terrific run. Have a great evening and Sunday.

Mile prayer run turned to 3 miles in worship and prayer. There is nothing like enjoying a beautiful sunrise and spending time with God.

I did forget the Garmin which I was disappointed about, but it’s all good. Enjoy the weekend.
