it&#8217;s been a seemingly endless downward spiral.<\/p>\n<p>January 1st, 2017 was good though, and I did my first race in about a year and a half (a 5K on July 4th, 2015).  \u00a0It was the Egg Nog Jog 5K, which I haven&#8217;t done since January 1st, 2005 when I pushed Grace in a jog stroller when she was 7 weeks old.<\/p>\n<p>The bad news, though, is that I can see the damage that the past year has done.  \u00a0In 2000, I raced the Egg Nog Jog 4 mile and my time at the two mile turnaround was 11:50.  \u00a0Today my two mile time was 26:30.  \u00a0Is that shocking or what?  \u00a0Even in the July 4th race, I ran 31:42.  \u00a0My time today was 41:24 &#8211; almost 10:00 slower.<\/p>\n<p>So what do I need to do?  \u00a0One thing is to get a tooth extracted.  \u00a0It is a failed root canal from 2009 and apparently it has a pocket of infection at the base.  \u00a0I really need \u00a0an even playing field in my life and that certainly makes it uneven.<\/p>\n<p>As for the other challenges and trials in 2016, God only knows what He has in store.  \u00a0I must trust that as Jeremiah 29:11 says, &#8220;For I know the plans I have for you,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d declares the <span class=\"small-caps\">Lord<\/span>, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how 2016 was for you, but if it was as bad for you as it was for me, we&#8217;re in this together and we need to trust in the Lord.  \u00a0It&#8217;s a new year &#8211;
