8.5 Miles, It’s About The Purpose Not The Pace

Will you help make clean water a reality for children in Africa? Give today: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

Having been a runner for about 4 years now I know how easy it can be to get caught up in times, paces, and having a good race. Being a part of Hope Water is about which ultimately is about having a platform to share about the great need for clean water around the world, and specifically Africa.

This morning as I ran I felt like just putting enjoying the run and focusing on my instead of worrying about how fast, or slow, I was going. I still had a distance as my target, and that was really the only thing I was concerned with.

I am training to run the but at the same time after having completed 5 marathons I don’t really question whether I can finish the race, the real question is how am I going to approach it.
