What better way to introduce myself to the world of blogging than to introduce my blog for what it will be (or at least what I think it will be):
The title is pretty self-explanatory. I have found that running in itself is not so very interesting. However, I propose that the "other stuff" that we encounter, think about, talk about, and the people with which we do it with often serve as pretty interesting subject matter on which to meditate. I intend to do so in my blog... so there it is.
Also, a brief intro to my page title, graphics, colors etc:
Running With Purpose is a title based on a scriptural reference from 1 Corinthians 9:25-27“All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.” (NLT)... I'll talk more about this in a later blog because it's pretty awesome.
An elephant is my background because a.) They are pretty awesome to look at, and b.) They are storied to be wise, calm, and strong... which is what I hope to be one day.
Lastly, I chose the cool green detail because it goes well with grey, and it reminds me of a T-Rex, my favorite dinosaur.
Come check out future blogs, which I promise will not just be about the blog. I think it will be about running... and other stuff.
