It seems like the marathon training has closely paralleled this marathon of memorizing Scripture. As I've been side-lined from running due to a hip injury, I've also been side-lined in momentum from memorizing. I'm still going forward though.
One thing you learn with marathon training is that the long runs (a once a week long distance run) are key to doing marathons. Without them, you just really are not equipped to complete a run. Do them too often, your body will wear down.
I think in the same way it is similar with Scripture memorization. There are a lot of short sprints, but the long runs, they key, is the review days. Like today I have 3 chapters to review. It seems like a LONG section to review, but they just might be the key to effective memorization. So I'm going to give it a go.
