THE VIEW: PUSHING MYSELF

About Me

Location: Long Island, New York, United States

I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

PUSHING MYSELF

There's less than three months to go before this year's Cow Harbor Race and I'm starting to give some serious thought to how I can shave some minutes off my time for last year's 10K run.

I started this morning by simply pushing myself a bit harder. Running 6 miles in the gym (that's marginally less than 6.2 miles, which is what 10K represents in English), I managed to shave a good three minutes off my personal best there, coming in at 51 minutes and change.

I'll go a bit lighter tomorrow and then try to get into the 50 minutes realm on Friday.

I think sometimes we're just too nice to ourselves. It's amazing what we can accomplish if we just try that little bit harder!
