MEET the Team !  This is how I GET IT IN !  I work it in running, personal trainers and boot camps.  To God be the Glory !  For me the team that surrounds me works.  I am able to maintain a healthy lifestyle with these various fitness activities.  I am so grateful for having all these people in my life right now.  You know I am a big fan of support giving and taking it in LOL I also know there are times when you have to encourage yourself and push through.  Sometimes when all these people and support are around and the workouts are challenge for a few seconds I do feel along, I have to call on God and then look next to me and see that others are struggles with the same challenge.

Today on Labor Day I ran a 5K (3.1 miles) it was a challenge even though we run 4 and 5 miles twice a week.  There is a difference in training and competing.  Today I experienced the result of training.  I was able to run/trot the entire race.  Yes I got tired, real tired, but I knew from previous experience the race could be completed.  I ran next to my pace partner, we only said a few words to each other as we had our focus on the race and our surrounding.  The words we did say were words to encourage and pull the other along.  I managed to beat my time from previous race a few weeks ago by 3 minutes.  YES !  good RIGHT !  YES !  I was encouraged.  Training is working,

I want to say that the NCBF Team is awesome, fantastic and wonderful.  Blondell leads us in a way that is so encouraging.  Her sense of humor is awesome.  Today many of us started the race fast without a warm up and within seconds we were going uphill.  She rode up behind us and said "FIND YOUR PACE".  This was a quick reminder to find ourselves and not bother ourselves with the other racers.  She knew immediately that if we kept our current pace we were in trouble.  As soon as she said the light bulb went off and I would MY pace, and I was then ok.

We ALL finished and had strong finishes.  Our fellowship before and afterward was amazing as usual. Many family members came to support their team members.  The group is growing, our first 5k had about 7 racers and today's 5K had about 19.  Amazing !  If you notice the photo we had on our NCBF Ts.  We represented NCBF well and God surely got the glory.

I introduced you to my trainers check them out on facebook they are awesome and gifted in their work.

Thank You Lord for this Labor Day a day of recognizes our daily labor and celebrating work.  I praise God for having my career and have been blessed to be at the same employer for 19 years.

Oh yeah my daughter moved home today.  I am happy to have her close as she was a west sider.  Pray for my family.  Thanks
