Lance finishes his first marathon in 2:59:36
After 7 Tour de France, Lance's fighting spirit continues. A sub 3 hours marathon, that's amazing! What an inspiration for finishing strong.

This is a good reminder for me that even though I feel tired and feel like quiting or giving up, I must push on. Finish my papers, finishing my readings, and finish strong. Like Lance, who had Alberto Salazar, Germán Silva and Joan Benoit Samuelson pacing him, encouraging him, the Lord had provided brothers and sisters like Jenny, Genuine, Fredrick and the seminary council pacing me, encouraging me to press on. Thank God for the awesome support.

Also thank God for His strength.

28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint

~Isaiah 40:28-31
