(This Second one encourages me that I Should Run Well)
Chris.
I should run well. This needs to be in my mind at all times.
There are times that I (and we all) feel like giving up running or we are
running carelessly. At those times of feeling like giving up our greatest need
is not going away but it is going alone with God and pouring out our heart to
Him.
