Well as usual I am off to a late start. I was suppose to start training on Monday but, I was distracted by a little self loathing and dreading the treadmill of death. Anyway I defeated the treadmill today. I started with a 5 minute warm-up and then alternated 60 seconds of running (5mph) with 1 minute & 30 seconds of walking (3.5 mph). This resulted in a total of 20 minutes, 1.25 miles, and 1 walking dead man.
On a side note, some of you may wonder what health has to do with being a pastor. I can answer that in 1 word: Everything! Have you ever noticed most preachers are overweight? The Bible says that preachers are "ambassadors of God". This means we are the representatives of Christ. So I ask myself and you:
Would Christ rather be represented by a bunch of fat preachers that brag about their ability to down 10 hamburgers in 2 minutes or would he be glorified by a preacher who is well maintained in his physical and spiritual life. I think you know the answer.
The Bible says that our body is a "temple (house) of God & whoever defileth (neglects, tampers, destorys, distorts) the temple, he will God destroy." So health is important, especially if your on the go all the time!
