Milestone

Yesterday was a milestone for me. I ran 12 miles in 2 hours and 50 minutes. Wow, I hurt all over but it's a good hurt. I am definitely new at this, but boy am I growing and learning about myself and my body. There's no turning back for me. Sometimes when I'm out there running, I am so at peace and feeling good about what I am doing. I want to continue to make this a part of my life even after October's marathon.

Journey to the Marathon

Journey to the Marathon
In the beginning..

In March I decided to join my Pastor and others to run the Chicago Marathon.

That's how it got started. I said yes, yes to the Marathon and raise money for World Vision. World Vision assists children and their families. I joined Team World Vision to do my part in helping these children and their families who are dying in Africa due to malnourishment, unclean water, illness and other devasting causes. I started training in March of 2008. That's me at the gym trying to get in shape.
