“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
Galatians 6:9
Ladies and Gentlemen…. we are officially just 30 days from the end of the Spring100 Challenge! Over 2/3rds of the way!! The Finish Line is in sight and I am so excited to already see so many finished and waiting for us to join them there. 🏅🏃🏼♀️🏃🏻♂️ Now is the time to NOT GIVE UP! Don’t grow weary and keep on pressing forward. The great news is if you are REALLY BEHIND, you still have time to catch up!! If you haven’t even walked a single mile yet, you can still easily get to the 100-mile mark.💯 According to google, the average walking pace is 3-4 miles per hour. If you still have all 100 miles to accomplish for this challenge, you can easily reach that 100-mile goal by dedicating 1 hour and walking 3.5 miles a day! If you don’t have a solid hour to dedicate to walking, split up the walks into 2 30-minute segments or even 4 15-minute quick walking breaks. I am so excited to see each and every one of you at the 2022 Spring100 Finish Line! As we set our eyes on the Spring100 Prize(spiffy custom printed Spring100 T-shirt) I am reminded of our spiritual reward as we run the race of life. Genesis 15:1 tells us “After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” Set your eyes on the Prize, Jesus Christ… the Author and Finisher of our faith and RUN! I am praying The Lord God strengthens, equips, and encourages you to finish strong in HIM… Let’s do this! 🙌🏻🎉
QUESTION: I want to hear…what would be your ultimate treat after a long walk on a super hot Spring100 day?? Ice cream? Watermelon? Iced Tea? Etc.? Let me know in the comment box below!! 👇🏼👇🏼

Another great week here in Texas! I grabbed hand-weights and enjoyed participating in the “Weighted Walk Challenge”. What a great reminder of how easily just a little weight can hold you back and slow you down from running your fullest! I am praying for each of you this week as you set out to reach your Spring100 goals. Run in the strength of the Lord!! May He renew your strength in a special way.🙋🏼♀️💯
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2

Lemonade and cookies & cream ice cream would be my favorite summer treat, especially after a long walk or run!! Just thinking about it makes me hungry 😉 Excited to finish my last 30 miles in the next few weeks! 🙂
Rachel @Spring100
Mmmm! Lemonade and cookies & cream ice cream sounds just perfect!! 💖
Melissa Ansiel
Chocolate Ice Cream on a waffle cone and unsweetened iced tea!
Rachel @Spring100
Chocolate Ice Cream on a waffle cone… that is a favrotie for me!! 😍
JJ Farrell
Something light and refreshing, like lemonade or sweat tea! No dessert though, that would just make the next walk harder! xD
Rachel @Spring100
“that would just make the next walk harder” AH!! I wish I had the self control to remember that truth! 😉
Liz M.
Probably some vanilla ice cream and some iced tea!
Rachel @Spring100
Ice cream is ALWAYS a good idea!!!🧡
bethanyjcooksey
Watermelon sounds so perfect! We should buy one to have ready after our next run… 🙂
Rachel @Spring100
You really should!! 🍉
Lydia D.
Definitely ice cream!!! 😀 It’s so rewarding to have something cold to eat after a long walk!
Rachel @Spring100
I love ice cream!!!!!!!🍦
Abigail Stiff
An ice cream from our local dairy bar, Sprinkles, would be excellent. In fact we have done that before and it’s wonderful!😊👌 Watermelon sounds good as well!🍉It’s been a rainy/ hot week but all in all, a great one! Can hardly wait to see what is coming next. I want to keep encouraging everyone to press on even when things are tough.
Rachel @Spring100
That does sound wonderful! 😍
Sarah H
Something cold and refreshing like lemonade or a Sprite for me!
I totally forgot about doing the weight challenge this week, I will have to try that this coming week.
Rachel @Spring100
sounds like a plan!! 🙂
Hannah Stiff
A juicy peach would be heavenly after a walk or run! We’re getting to the summer months when they will be in season. (:
Rachel @Spring100
Really, a good ripe peach can’t be beat! 🍑
shericlaude
If I could still have refined sugar, I would choose vanilla chocolate chip ice cream! Now, I make ice cream from frozen bananas, raw cocoa powder (cacao) and raw honey as the main ingredients. Just as yummy! I didn’t have anything special when I completed my 100 miles, though. Lost opportunity! 😉
Keilah
Shericlaude, we make ice cream like that, too! The banana ice cream is really good with peanut butter in it 😋
Rachel @Spring100
Its never too late!! 😁 You should celebrate with some of that homemade icecream!!!
Rachel
An iced capp from Tim Hortons here in Canada 😋
shericlaude
I have to amend my comment about not having something special when I finished my 100 miles! I had my friend, Gita’s, companionship. 🙂 Better than a sweet treat!
The photos have been fun! Loved the village platform swings in Estonia! So, Agape, are you walking with the Shultz family?
shericlaude
Sorry, Rachel, I was trying to reply to my own comment, but the reply button under my comment evidently won’t post to me. Instead, it posted to you. 🙂
Rachel @Spring100
😁👍🏻
Hannah Stiff
Yes, Tim Horton’s is a wonderful Spring 100 rest stop for sure Rachel! (:
Rachel @Spring100
It sounds delicious!
shericlaude
Yes! I love it with peanut butter and sometimes frozen berries or peach slices. 🙂
Rachel @Spring100
Now I just want to go to Canada so I can try try Tim Hortons! 😅😉
Ruthie S.
I would probably go for some iced tea or ice cream.😊 Both are so refreshing!!
Great job grabbing those miles everyone! And congrats to all of you who have already finished🙌👏
Rachel @Spring100
Both sound delicious!!! 😁💯
John Silvey
Icecream. Definitely icecream.
Rachel @Spring100
🍦Always a GOOD IDEA!!!
Angela C.
Ice cream for sure!!! And I’m loving all the pictures. And all the stroller babies. I think there needs to be an honorary Spring100 stroller club T-shirt for the little ones who accompanied their families on all their 100 miles.
Rachel @Spring100
“I think there needs to be an honorary Spring100 stroller club T-shirt ” LOVE THAT!!!!😆💖
Caroline Flournoy
It seems like Ice cream is the favorite!😄 I would have lemonade and probably cookies and cream ice cream.😉 I didn’t have anything when I reached 100, but maybe I’ll do something when I reach 200 and (Lord willling) 300!!!😜😀 I loved the creative pictures and all the smiles!🙂 I just love seeing all those smiles every Monday!!😊 Keep it up!🎊
Rachel @Spring100
Definitely do something when you reach 200!!!! 🧡🙋🏼♀️
Bethany
I don’t usually eat anything after I walk, but water sure is nice – especially when it’s hot! If I did have something, I would probably enjoy a cold glass of milk and a couple of chocolate chip cookies.
Rachel @Spring100
Oh! I could definitely go for a chocolate chip cookie right now!! 🍪
