Running Against the Wind/Puppy Go Home

Well I ran 2 miles at the end of last week. Then on Sunday Duke and I took off to run the triangle. At the halfway point the darkness revealed a second chocolate lab running with me down the gravel road. We ended up home with two dogs so I had to drive the pickup back to return the puppy. Ran 3.9 miles. This morning with the wind blowing I took off for a jog. I had my ipod playing christian tunes and Duke and I ran with great ease out the flat but at the 1 mile mark we turned to face the wind. It slowed my every step as it pushed me back. Straining I leaned into the wind and with lower brow fought my way back home in the growing sunrise of the morning. Running, praying, and straining to return I remembered the words of the Lord, "Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith." God seemed to say to me if life is sometimes difficult we should be reminded to look at Christ as our example and push forward.
