It's been a while...

Both for this blog and for running. I ran a 5k on Saturday and my legs are still killing me. I finished 3rd in my age group and 30th overall with very little preparation. All that training in baseball worked to my advantage for a 5k hahaha...plus we saw some funny things on the way. But i ran behind this little kid that was probably about 10 years old. He was beating me the entire time. But if you know me i have adrenaline overdose so i couldn't let this kid beat me. After about a mile and a half every so often the kid would look back and see me bearing down on him. It kinda made me sad that i was gonna beat him. But this is what made me mad every time we would go by a checkpoint the people would smile and point and clap at this kid because he was doing great. But nothing for everybody else that was around us. So at 3 miles i sprint and i am working my butt off to sprint by him. I get by him and keep haulin' and this guy todd and jr named T.O. was walking back saying "watch out little mans gonna catch ya" and i could not let that happen so i finished strong and beat him. But i am still paying the price with fatigue. But i learned through this that God puts people in your life to make you stronger and push you past what you can achieve on your own. So all in all this kid pushed me to my limit and made me better...Lesson learned.

Happy July 4th!!!

First i would just like to say in this blog thank you to all the veterans who gained freedom for us. Thanks for all that you've done and know that we still appreciate you. The first thing that happens on July 4th is the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest. This Japanese guy that weighs like 115 pounds ate 54 hotdogs in 12 minutes!!!! Thousands of people gather for this event and its on ESPN which is even crazier but these people are for real competitive eaters and they don't shy away and im sure they take alot of criticism for their sport. These people don't care what you say and they go at it regardless of the comments that im sure that they receive. Man if only i could just feel that way about everything that i do in life. People close to me have not supported me in the directions that i have been seeking lately and i have taken it but after a while it just builds up and you have to let it out and i did and it wasn't pretty. I'm just upset about alot of stuff right now and what makes it worse is that i am just confused and trying to figure out exactly what God wants me to do and i can't really figure it out. So if you know my situation please pray and if you don't pray also. I need guidance and provision. I am happy for this holiday and i need the rest and the lack of stress for a couple of days. But God is good and knows exactly what i need to hear all the time. So look forward to awesome things as the river of life produces growth and fruit in my life. "I will only accomplish much because He provideth all"
