The Prayers of an Athlete

As I was getting my butt kicked by the Power Toning instructor today, I thought of all the prayers I've said while working out...

Dear Lord, please help me get my lazy ass to the gym/out on the trail today.

(while walking into the gym) Oh God, I can't believe I am doing this to myself again.

(while waffling as to whether to go to the gym or not) Lord, wouldn't it be ok if just this once (ha ha) I went and ate lunch out today instead of going to the gym and working out?

Lord, thank God I'm here.

Please Lord, don't let me fall of this treadmill/balance ball/bike/stairstepper!

Lord, get me through this!

I CAN finish this, Lord, I CAN!

Lord, please don't let me walk during this race, or finish last.

God, are you kidding me?

Lord, thank you for giving me the strength to endure all I did today. I am so blessed that you have given me the gifts of mobility, agility, and strength.

Amen!
