Not Running Enough

I finally ran again tonight. It has been 9 days since I last ran. That is ridiculous! Granted, I did ride my bike for 14 miles in those 9 days but still, that is just way too long in between runs. I wanted so bad to get back into race shape this summer. It hasn't happened so far. Planting a church and being a father to young children is so time consuming. It is hard to find the time to run. I have to do better.

Tonight's run was a good one. Not sure how far I ran but I was out for 36:05. The weather was good and I listened to another great Francis Chan sermon. I don't know what is better when I run - the physical exercise or the spiritual refreshment I get from listening to the proclaimed Word of God. It sure is a good combination though!
