“In all, Fauja, who turned 101 on April 1, has run eight full marathons in the last 12 years. He started running professionally at the age of 89.”

Convicting:
“We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.”
1 John 4:19-21 [NIV]
Training Journal – 4/24/I12:
- Current plan: Half-marathon program: taper week
- Today’s session: 5 mile tempo: warm, 3 miles @ 8:20, cool
- Comments: Nice run. Tempo splits were: 8:05, 7:56, 8:03 – overall 5.25 miles @ 8:20. I keep telling myself that I need to get better at following my pacing plan if I want to be successful with a “time goal” half or full marathon plan. MUST FOCUS. MUST FOCUS.
