Tri for Him

Oh my goodness, what a good, inspiring spin workout this morning! 

This morning before class, I read my email and one of them is from a blog streaming service thingy. They say my tri blog has been added to their site. Ok..? Anywho. I think it means more people will read it perhaps. 

I wonder why Grace wasn't added to that blog service thingy. I consider that to be way more inspiring and encouraging and more well written. Especially when most of my tri posts consist of talking about sweat and my little swim workouts and trying to burp in water and food. You know, truly glamorous stuff. 

At some point in my rush out the door this morning and the drive to Lifetime, it hits me for the first time. 

Christian. Athlete. 

I don't know why I hadn't really put them together before. 

And then I think about the radio show I listen to where they have a feature about  Christian sports coaches. 

I always wondered why sports and Christian leaders were so popular. Maybe cause people realize our bodies are gifts and our power and strength come from God. In athletics, the metaphor for channeling His stength is so obvious and evident. 

I get to spin class and half way through, heard pounding, sweat bubbles just a poppin off my arms, that image pops in my head again. 

Pretty much every day for the last month or so( it first popped up on a run at Memorial park) I've had this same thought, over and over again:

Tri For Him. 

And in my head, the last M in Him is written with the ironman symbol. 

Then a couple of others: 

Run for Him

Strong  with Him

Maybe there's already something out there like this. 

And then I  think about how I need to send out an email to friends and family asking for donations for the Livestrong ride coming up. And, don't get me wrong, I am SUper pumped about it. But I can't help but feeling. All these races I've been doing lately. They are awesome and support great causes. But I can tell my heart is searching to find the bigger purpose. 

Tri for Him. 

 I GOTTA do something about this. 

So in love, so encouraged, so excited.

I can't wait to get home tonight to my computer. For now, gotta get off this bench and shower. I'm starting to feel stares from the ladies around me... I think there's some rule about no cell phone usage in the locker room and I let out a lil giggle very now and then just thinking about all this... Eeee hehehe:))
