The Strength Comes from within: run group tomorrow night 5:30

Champion running group tomorrow night! We will be prepping form the BananaMan Chase Jamba 5k and running 40 minutes moderate pace with a great warm-up and stretching session afterwards. Everyone is welcome, invite a friend! Hope to see all of you tomorrow night 5:30pm at Ala Moana Beach Park behind the tennis courts (mountainside/diamond); and then again at 7am Saturday for the 5k run at Ala Moana Park. Will be the most competitive 5k of the year and a great chance for a PR! God is the one who equips you to do great things that make you and others say: "wow!" It has nothing to do with your natural abilities, your pedigree, your family background, or your education. The strength and power come from Father God working within! To all you Champion Runners out there and those in the running community from Hawaii: "My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit—not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength—that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you’ll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:14-19 MSG) "God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us...(Ephesians 3:20, 21 MSG)" The strength comes from within to do the impossible! - Coach Nate

We will do a dynamic warm-up followed by 16 x 400-meter intervals at 5k goal pace with 1 minute rest between each and a 2-3 mile cool-down run afterwards. Hope to see you there! Anyone and everyone is welcome that wants a great running workout and an encouraging atmosphere. Way to go Satomi and Emi at Boston Marathon! You both did great and represented the Hawaii running community well! Remember, it is always darkest and coldest right before the dawn of a new day. If your future looks dark and chilly right now, a brighter and better day is just over the horizon and something great is about to happen. Romans 8:28 in the Bible says: "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." - Coach Nate
