Prayer request

Hey y'all. A big prayer request would be prevention of injury and fast healing of current ones. Right when i started training, I went on a two hour trail ride. Ordinarily that would be fine, except for the fact that I haven't been on a horse in eight years, and i was on a huge one. My knee was bent at a weird angle the whole time cause the horse was so huge, and that aggravated the bursa in my knee. So for the past few days I've only been able to do upper body (no cardio) because me knee feels like it's giving out whenever I exert it. God's the great physician, and I've seen first hand miraculous healings. If y'all could be praying for that, I'd appreciate it so much. Thanks!

Inspiration

Yesterday was probably my second favorite day of this year's Olympics so far. In the women's double crew, Great Britain won the gold (their first of the games). Here's the thing though: four years ago, neither of them had EVER rowed in their lives. In just four short years, they went from having zero experience to beating out the rest of the world (by a good margin too!) It was so cool to see three union jacks as UK won gold, Australia silver, and New Zealand bronze :) It's people like that who are my inspiration. They had four years - I have eight. Leggo
