I have been asked to talk about a physical goal of mine. Running has always been enjoyable for me ever since I was really little.
Over the last couple of years, I have found that running races makes my daily training worth it. Sometimes I train so hard that I get injured. My running coach helps me know what to do specifically to get better.
Even though I am not able to train in a group like I'd prefer, I am still training alone. Fortunately, Covid has not prevented me from running races. As a gift for my 12th birthday, my mom surprised me with a large runners medal display board. I really like that it is a visual representation of my progress over the years. Another tool that motivates me is my Garmin watch. My watch tracks my mileage and many other things.
I have had the opportunity to attend several local high school cross country meets this fall. It is fun for me to cheer on my older friends in their races. I can't wait to join them once I am in high school. I am planning on training with a high school team this summer, since I'll finally be old enough.
Having a physical goal makes me grateful for the health and strength that I have been blessed with. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
