We are now in single digits to the event - 9 weeks left. Here, the last 1/2 mile to the top of Mt Aleyeska looks like a daunting one. Well, I am certain it is super steep and it comes at mile 26.5 in the 27-mile run portion of the event. We have all been up since 2am and racing in some capacity. Of course the race directors save the best for last... the hardest part. But, really it is about perspective. Perspective allows us to see things in different ways, while still keeping focus on what's ahead. Yes, while this is a super steep climb (15% or greater), the finish line is right there at the building. Philippians 3:14 says "I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us." It is only fitting that I am climbing upward toward the finish line to reach the end of the race and see my support team and celebrate in God's glory of this beautiful area. I cannot wait.
