Off my feet - or off the street

Well, it happened. I'm grounded from running for the rest of this week. I'm glad I was able to catch this bout with plantar faciitis before it got too bad. I'm hopeful that the meds and rest will be helpful. I just need to keep up with the cardio work to maintain my current level. Maybe I can even use the time to increase. I've not usually done anything on "rest" days. Hmmm ... cross training. That means doing something else for exercise.

Of course with this ADD moment, I'm now thinking of a song ... "Embrace the Cross"

Embrace the cross
Where Jesus suffered
Though it will cost
All you claim as yours
Your sacrifice will seem small
Beside the treasure
Eternity can't measure
What Jesus holds in store

Embrace the love
The cross requires
Cling to the one
Whose heart knew every pain
Receive from Jesus
Fountains of compassion
Only He can fashion
Your heart to move as His

Oh, wondrous cross our desires rest in you
Lord Jesus make us bolder
To face with courage the shame and disgrace
You bore upon Your shoulder

Embrace the life
That comes from dying
Come trace the steps
The Savior walked for you
An empty tomb
Concludes Golgotha's sorrow
Endure then till tomorrow
Your cross of suffering
Embrace the cross
Embrace the cross
The cross of Jesus
