I say that I run so that my body will be in good shape. Because it is God's temple, I need to take care of it. I want to be ready and in good physical condition to be able to tackle any sort of service opportunity God should throw at me. But honestly, the reason I'm running today is so that I can eat an ice cream cone tonight and not feel guilty about it. Junk food has pretty much become my reason for running. I'm beginning to see that that is a little hypocritical on my part. If I'm going to say that I run to take care of my temple why would I not also eat to take care of my temple? Gluttony will always be my "deadly sin" and instead of justifying it by working out I should really just learn to turn the other way and live an all around healthy lifestyle. Geeze, this stinks, I hate feeling more convicted after writing something than I did at the beginning. Maybe tonight I'll just go for some post run chocolate milk and a banana instead.
