“When I run, I feel His pleasure.” That’s a line from the movie Chariots of Fire and it’s one of my favorite movie quotes. But it feels like literal fire here in Florida and of course, I chose to run in it. I’ll say this, I wasn’t feeling God’s pleasure when my shorts were soaked all the way through with sweat!
So for two days in a row, I’ve made some bad choices. I’m not too prideful to admit that. For the longest time, I’ve lived by the running rules: Don’t eat a meal 2 hours before a run. Don’t drink anything 1 hour before a run. If I do either of these, my stomach gets all twisted and I get major cramps. So what did I do yesterday? Went for a 3-mile run AFTER DINNER. What a goofball. Plus, it was around 7pm and my body’s just not accustomed to running that late in the day. Mistake #1.
Mistake #2 happened this morning. Instead of running early in the morning when it’s cooler, I went out around 10am with a temp that “feels like” over 100℉.
Tomorrow is a new day so maybe I can get back to feeling God’s pleasure instead of running through the flames of Hades! It’s hot out here in north Florida, folks.
