@Mom2, thanks for the encouragement, its interesting that it always happens right before bed.

@Bre.m, it kinda depends on the day, but looking at the month of June, I spent about 25hrs in training (for the total month).

So really its only about 6-7hrs a week. This is a pretty low routine, and I would like to double it.

okay, so if you walk, run, bike and what ever else you do... how many hours a day do you spend doing all this?

Layne, I think you are doing awesome. You say you don't know where the negative thoughts are coming from at night. Have you considered that they might be from "the accuser of the brethren"? Our arch enemy knows when we are down and most vulnerable. He hates self discpline, and especially spiritual discipline, which go hand in hand. He magnifies our faults, delights in suggesting them over and over in our heads.

I encourage you to rebuke him, and those negative thoughts, and speak the truth to yourself. In Chariots of Fire, the main character said he "felt God's pleasure" when he ran, because God created him to run. He used it as a platform for much good in his life. So take heart, you are doing so well. I am very proud of you.

Love, Mom2
