Always Second Best

A couple of weeks ago I ran the campwannarunamileormore half marathon as a tune-up race for the Fargo Marathon in May. The race went really well and I ended up placing second. And that is the point of this post. It is humbling for me to never actually win a race despite constantly placing in the top 10 or better. I believe it is God's simple way of always reminding me why I run and race, to be a witness for Him in the endurance sports world. It is a reminder to me that the point of racing should never be to win a race, but to show Christ's love to others and hopefully plant a seed for Him in someone's life.

James 4:10 "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up."
