Easy peasy long trail run (mostly) on the trails behind Milliken Park today, and it felt fantastic. It was perfect running weather and I just felt like I could go on for another half an hour. Coach Harris (new assistant coach) ran with us for a little while.

Hi, just wanted to say good job on your training, it's fun for me to look at what others are doing :)

Also, sort of random, but noticed you titled your blog with a scripture and thought I'd share a few of my favorites!

Mosiah 2:17 and Isaiah 40:28-31 (be sure to look at footnotes!) :)

Awh thanks Sarah!! I'll look at those for my devo tomorrow morning :) I'm not familiar with Mosiah....is that the book of mormon??

Oh yeah it is haha. You should take a look! I love the Book of Mormon! If you have questions about it feel free to ask me!

Moroni 10:4-8

4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.

6 And whatsoever thing is good is just and true; wherefore, nothing that is good denieth the Christ, but acknowledgeth that he is.

7 And ye may know that he is, by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore I would exhort you that ye deny not the power of God; for he worketh by power, according to the faith of the children of men, the same today and tomorrow, and forever.

8 And again, I exhort you, my brethren, that ye deny not the gifts of God, for they are many; and they come from the same God. And there are different ways that these gifts are administered; but it is the same God who worketh all in all; and they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God unto men, to profit them. (Book of Mormon, Moroni, Moroni 10)
