They still held the shorter-distance races, but several runners slipped and got hurt.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not really why we missed it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We sat out because we weren&#8217;t ready for the race.<\/strong> Our training fell by the wayside when our family went on vacation back in January. Sure, we got a little running in during the southern leg of our trip, but we stopped even trying once we met up with Winter Storm Juno further north.<\/p>\n<p>But now that all the ice has melted and the temperatures are starting to climb, <strong>we&#8217;ve laced up our running shoes and are starting afresh.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My husband and I both felt a little winded after yesterday&#8217;s run, but we&#8217;re determined to stick with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And that&#8217;s exactly what we need to do when we get spiritually off-track, as well: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Have you neglected your prayer life?<\/strong> Begin again.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Has Bible study fallen by the wayside?<\/strong> Prioritize it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Has your church attendance fallen off?<\/strong> Start afresh.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have you forgotten your memory verses?<\/strong> Review them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Has your love for God grown cold?<\/strong> Rekindle it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Spring is right around the corner. <strong>It&#8217;s a time for new beginnings.<\/strong> But you needn&#8217;t wait for birds and bunnies and blossoms to appear.
