For the last few months, life was a blur. I was really knocked down and the will or drive to run didn’t exist anymore. I did still run to keep myself sane but it wasn’t the same. Running is more mental than it is physical. My mind wasn’t there so I was aimlessly running or trying to.

It feels so good to be back now. I always say the only constant in life is change. Change is never easy or fun. Once you embrace and take time to accept it. You’re good to go. I still have loads to achieve in the last 6 months of the year. Lots of kms to still run and races to do. I’m hoping to regain my full fitness and be ready to run again.

I’m currently reading a book called Unqualified by Steve Furtick. One of the things that has stuck with me as I read the book is how people are always quick to put labels on others. Remember only you and your beliefs can qualify you. I believe in Christ and only in Him do I find my purpose and meaning. He has already qualified me. Stay winning and shining !!!

Remember the race is never meant for the weak. It is for one who endures it all until the end.
