A Word from Kayla

Baby steps pieced together can become miles...

I'm currently training for a half marathon in December. My
training was drastically reduced due to an injury and I've just
now been able to start back running. Even though I

continued to train during my recovery, my running endurance
took a kit. I'm starting back very slow and very easy, which is a

bit frustrating considering where I was prior to my injury.
God definitely sent me a message this morning during one

of my frustratingly slow workouts...the trainer mentioned, that
baby steps pieced together will become miles.

All too often we try to rush things and we've pretty much
completely gotten away from acknowledging the small everyday
steps that help us achieve our goals.

Overnight sensations are few and far between. You have to
put the work in to get the reward, and even if the work is
frustratingly slow, baby steps pieced together can become miles.

What are you working on right now that's coming on a bit

slow, but you know will be worth it?
