Once again today is Race Day. I woke up feeling fresh and confident today. I know that God is going to use me today to glorify Him and is going to be with me every step of the day. I know this because I prayed without doubt. Last week before my race, I prayed to God about the same things, but in the back of my mind, I housed some doubt. What if I still have a bad race? What if I disappoint everyone? What if God doesn't want me to run anymore? These are the things that make all of my words to you guys null and void. When I pray to God with doubt and don't trust in Him with everything I have, that is just like me going behind all of your backs too and being a hypocrite. Well, thats not going to happen today. Today I will toe the line, eyes forward..head up...hand in hand with God. Below is one of my favorite videos for motivation as well as one of my favorite race-day quotes.

"The true purpose of running isn't to win a race, it's to test the limits of the human heart." - Bill Bowerman
