FREE TO RUN THE RACE

Earlier this year, I set a goal to run the Toronto half-marathon, although I hadn't run in a race since high school (some 25 years ago). I set up a training schedule, and each week, I increased the distance I ran. Based on this, I felt confident that I would do well in the marathon.

My last training run was supposed to be an easy course, and not too long. Well, the "not too long" part was the only thing that worked out—I had to stop after a short distance because of severe pain.

Since it's my practice to rely on prayer to solve challenges, I turned my thought to God, and right away realized that I'd become concerned about what other runners had discussed regarding the consequences of not preparing properly for the race. I resolved to keep my thought focused on what God, immortal Mind, knew about me—that as His expression, I was not material and limited, but spiritual and free.
