Ready, Set, Race

Ready, Set, Race...

The words I will be hearing (or similar) in 22 weeks 

154 days 

It's official 

I am signed up 

Plans are made 

Looking forward to a girls weekend away in Disney World 

And my very first 1/2 Marathon 

My dear friend Courtney and I are running the race together

And maybe Kristin...we WANT you :) 

Mom, Mrs. Lisa, Mrs. Lee Ann and maybe others 

WHOA, it might take me 22 weeks to prepare for the crew 

All the laughter and fun--I can hardly wait 

(Bridge Run Race 2012)

As I was running today  

I realized that this endeavor, although I am looking forward to it

WILL be a challenge 

So here I am giddy, anxious, excited

Rallying the troops

I am going to need LOTS of prayer 

Request 1: I don't have a running partner here in Columbia

would love one

Request 2: Since I don't have a partner...

motivation and accountability 

Request 3: As my schedule is busy and often unpredictable 

Consistency in my running 

Request 4: Perseverance 

Request 5: Health, SAFETY and wisdom 

Thank you friends and family

Just keep running by HIS strength and grace:)  

Hebrews 12: 1-2 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and the perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right had of the throne of God!
