Through Christ

September 17,2005

I never thought in my life I would ever run a 5k, much less place 3rd in my age group. A person can change their life, it is all about what they want and how hard they are willing to work for it.

And The Journey Begins

This was my first race in the cold weather. The race was a lot bigger and even though it was cold that day, I was able to improve my time by 2 minutes. What a great run thanks be to God

April 8,2006

My first Triathlon at Stan State University. It was a ¼ mile swim, 12 mile bike ride and a 5k run. Never in my life did I ever think of going to one much less entering in any competitive sporting Event. Much to my surprise, I came in 5^th out of 122 people in my age group. Thanks be to God.. It just goes to show you what you can do when you have Jesus in your Heart.

Saturday I entered the Run for Wishes 5k Race at Stan State University. I am happy to say that I came in first in my age group. It just goes to show you that you can do all things through Christ. It was a great run and the Event benefited the Make a Wish Foundation.

Turkey Trot Thanksgiving Day 2006

It was Wednesday night when I heard of this Awesome Race.. Should I do it? Hmm, I will give it my best shot.

I'm the person in the blue out front. 

What a wonderful experience and a great way to start out a new Thanksgiving Tradition. There were nearly 700 runners that competed and I was very thankful to hear of this Event. Out of 688 runners I came in 101 with a time of 22:33.. Not my best time, but hey what a blast. In fact I enjoyed it so much that later that day I ran over to my Father-in-law's house just to get more of that same rush..

Praise God I Love to Run
