Faith, Fitness, Focus Friday: Rest & Reflect

Hi Fitblitzers…

Fridays are my chance to take a step back, not to push harder, but to breathe, reflect and recognise what God has already carried me through this week.

This Week in Miles

• Monday: 3.40 miles
• Tuesday: 3.41 miles
• Wednesday: 3.39 miles
• Thursday: 3.39 miles
  Total: 13.59 miles

Not a record-breaking week, but a faithful one…Each walk reminding me that consistency matters more than speed. Some days the miles felt smooth, others were harder, but together they’ve built a rhythm that’s worth pausing to give thanks for.

Encouragements Along the Way

• Drill Sergeant Bruce: His fiery “no excuses” motivation keeps echoing in my head when my legs drag. But even he knows (somewhere deep down under that war face!) that rest and recovery are just as vital as the push.
• Sarah’s Strength: While I’ve been out on the trail, Sarah has been fighting her own battle at home—recovering from her eye operation. Pain, discomfort, and that relentless itch have tested her all week. Yet she carries herself with such faith and patience. Honestly, she inspires me far more than any miles I’ve walked. ❤️
• And your comments of encouragement…What more can I say?! 🙏 

What This Week Reminds Me

• Progress doesn’t always roar, sometimes it whispers in steady, faithful steps.
• Motivation is helpful, but true strength is found in humility and patience.
• Rest is not weakness, it’s part of the design.

Encouragement…

The trail teaches me that strength is not only found in motion but in stillness, not only in pressing forward but in waiting well. Both the walk and the pause are part of the journey.

Motivation…

“The strongest journeys are not measured in miles walked, but in the humility to pause, the courage to continue and the faith to be thankful in it all“.

Scripture snack…

“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” – Isaiah 40:29

So this week, I give thanks…For the miles walked, for Bruce’s bark that keeps me laughing, for Sarah’s love, support and quiet endurance, for all of you out there sending me motivation and most of all for the God who meets us in both movement and rest.

Let’s ‘FitBlitz’ 2025 together! 💪🏼
