Inside Your Loop.

I often have made connections between my physical training and spiritual training. The more time I spend 'training' my body, the more I realize just how much I enjoy it.

Today, I was fortunate enough to run through Prospect Park and as I run these days I typically enjoy music, but it is also for the most part spending time with God. Praying for others. For my family.
