In 5 Days!

I will be running in this

 With the help of these

 I'll be sure to do a little of this

 And 13.1 of this

 I've been told the starting line is like this

 And this

 Can't wait to feel like this

 And ultimately this!!

Ha!

No, for real I'm so excited about running this marathon on Sunday!  For the last several years we have had several friends run in marathons and we always went to cheer them on.  Last year while we were watching we decided that we would run the marathon instead of cheering from the sidelines.  It has been a hard 6 months of early morning runs and not sleeping in on Saturdays to run ridiculous miles in horrible weather.  We have run in disgusting high heat and humidity and run in freezing temperatures with ice crystals on our clothing.  But after every single run I feel FANTASTIC!  It is such a high when you are done running and the sense of accomplishment is so great.  Through it all God has taught me to trust him that I can actually run distances I never thought I could.  A verse in Isaiah comes to mind that encourages me while I'm running.

Isaiah 40:31

31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

We'd love to have you come cheer us on!
