I felt like week 6 was a big transition week as well. We did our scriptures with discussion groups. I didn't pick a story to use this week because we were combining two weeks. After discussion, we talked about nutrition. There are so many things to say about nutrition. I'll leave that for another time.
But here's where the magic happened in Week 6.
We're starting to prepare for 20 minutes of running. One of our participants is following an app on her phone and completed the 20 minute run prior to ours. It was so powerful to hear her explain how it felt to accomplish 20 minutes of running. It was also a great encouragement to everyone who will be completing that distance next week.
We also had quite a few of our participants to complete a 5k on Saturday with our fearless run leader setting a PR and placing first not only in one race but two! Way to go Olivia! We also had one of our husband/wife duos run the race together (and finish together). They both placed in their age groups!
We are starting to share more personal stories with each other. I think that's were the real "magic" happens. When we open our hearts and lives, good and bad, to each other for growth, encouragement, and accountability!
God is so good. He protects us, prepares us, encourages us, enables us, and even gives us the swift kick we need every now and then.
While this week seems like a big transition week (and a short wrap up), I am so excited to share next weeks journey!
I captured this picture of our prayer before we ran, and it reminds me daily to give God the glory, come to him often, and thank him with every breath I have!
If you are following along in the workouts: this week's workout is 5 min warm up, 8 min run, 2 min walk, 8 min run, 5 min cool down and stretch.
