Here I am to Worship..

Here's a couple of pictures from the race I trained and trained for since last October. As many of you know, I had felt led to do this sometime last fall..and accidentally blurted that fact out to a whole group of bible study women that I barely knew! Well...be careful about doing that, okay?? I'm not some spiritual super giant..but I have learned soo much through training for this race about giving things over to the Lord..and that we REALLY can do ALL things through Christ, who gives us strength! It was 12.4 miles...so you KNOW that was a God thing for me, huh?

and I want to super thank Anne, for all the advice, and "long runs" (even though I know I slow her down), Angie...for making me sign up..and believe I could do it!, Bev..for calling me a runner and being excited each and every time I had run my farthest, Keri and Angie (again) for the swingin' bbq..and for being at the finish line to cheer for me (thanks for getting up at the crack, Ang..to take me to the drop off place!) Geoff- you never once complained when I would take off after you'd finally get home so I could run..and I'm come back sweaty and tired! thanks for being my ever encourager! Bryn...you did it first..and were soo inspiring! I know it wasn't an Oscar or anything...but I do feel like I have soo many people to thank!

and now..for another "blurt"! I'm signing up for the Marathon in October in Des Moines. Yikes!

oh.

and this song was my theme song...cause in the beginning I hated running so bad that I decided to make it my worship.
