A Runner's Thoughts: “There is something magical about running; after a certain distance, it transcends the body. Then a bit further, it transcends the mind. A bit further yet, and what you have before you, laid bare, is the soul.” (Kristin Armstrong) Think of every run, walk or movement through life another way as an opportunity to be born again. Let each run, walk or movement through life another way refresh your body and renew your spirit and bring you into God's Presence once again!
