Almost! I did a trial run to see if I can keep running @ 5min per k for 30k. I ran with a small bottle of coffee for the first time and it was great. It kept my hands warm, hydrated me and gave me energy when I needed it.
On the negative side I kept on looking at stray dogs to see if it isn’t Happy. Happy went out on Thursday night and never came back. There are so many Happy look-a likes in the city. I just pray that I will get know what happened to him. I just have nasty feeling that one of our neighbours may have killed him since they have complained about him howling from time to time. Apparently the superstition is that it is a bad omen. Meanwhile I miss the dog more than I thought I would.
Irene said today that if we feel this way about a lost dog how must people feel who lose their children. Not to mention how the Heavenly Father must feel about losing His children.
Matthew 18:
12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
Keep running
