Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize?

So run to win!

All athletes are disciplined in their training.

They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize.

So I run with purpose in every step.

I am not just shadowboxing. (actually says that lol)

I discipline my body like an athlete, training to do what it should.

Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

OK so trecho is used 20 times in the Bible across 17 verses.

Lets start with this two for one.

Even went for the NLT translation here bc of the 'shadowboxing' verse.

I was curious to see what it would say bc I usually use ESV translation and

it was even weirder there. (I use Biblegateway.com)

As a non-metaphorical runner this verse/s packs a lot of layers.

Run to win?

Run to run?

Run for fun?

What are we even doing?

Even if you win the local 5k or park run as the Brits say...

it doesn't mean a damn thing on the day of your death.

I still run.

You've never heard of me.

You probably passed me on your way home last night.

Out there, running.

Yeah baby! So freaking glorious...

Why? Yeah... lets go with authenticity.

It's who I am. Unpack that one... lol

Sometimes I win, sometimes I don't even show up and eat the fee.

Mostly I run for running sake bc its who I am.

Not what I wish for but what I choose to do, who I choose to be.

Under the sky or the moon or the stars and upon the earth.

What is this life? Nobody knows but we run, we are 'runners'.

The Unknown is sacred I think and it is related to scared.

Scared sacred.

Running into the Unknown but not alone.

Much like I choose to run...

I choose to not be alone even when I'm by myself.

There is no finish line but there is a finish line.

There is no race and yet we put on our bibs.

We do run with purpose but where to and why?

WTF dude? What's even going on?

Exactly. What is going on has been going on for a while.

I read the word every morning before I do anything else.
