...but Godliness has value in all areas of life, both in this life and the one to come.
4.45am my alarm screams obnoxiously telling me that whether I am ready or not the day has begun and I am required to be alive, alert, awake and enthusiastic. In 15 minutes the Global Impact team and students from the Global Impact Boot Camp are going to gather outside to work out together. I think this morning is cardio morning, it must be because my shoulers are declaring for all the world to hear their unimpressed opinion over yesterday's chin ups and push ups.
Cardio means running and last nights rain can only mean one thing in our village...mud. Lots of muddy puddles, slippery patches and just straight up holes designed to cause an entire vehicle to disappear. So the running starts a little slow as we all learn to navigate our streets in their current state, however as we get going it is actually a little fun and very rewarding. When we arrive back at the base it is amusing to compare the mud spatter patterns on our shoes, socks, shorts and even as high as our shoulders if we were running to enthusiastically.
I have never been a distance runner, I loved sprinting as I was growing up but at 35 years old I have a vested interest in keeping this body of mine fit and healthy. We have a whole lot to still accomplish on the planet and it is so much easier when we are healthy. So here I am with the gentle prompting and encouragement of my wonderful and ridiculousy fit husband running early in the mornings and building muscles that I forgot existed long ago.
