As Christians we are called to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. If you are anything like me, this is an extremely difficult thing to do. There just never seems to be a good time to broach the subject. To be honest, I am afraid of the awkwardness this discussion might cause.

Running has torn down the awkwardness and created a platform for me to talk freely about my faith. It is my hope that these stories will help draw you closer to our creator – through whom we all have the strength to move mountains.

God has given me a body built for endurance. Over the years, I have run a few races and met many wonderful and interesting people. These posts contain my stories. You do not need to be a runner to relate to these events. We are all running the race of life. We all have our peaks and valleys that we have to climb and descend.

"Going Long..." Interview from runtheultras.com

A little over one week away from the start of the 200-mile race in Vermont. Snow fell in the mountains last night and continues to fall today. This race is going to be an epic experience. There are now 15 competitors that will be toeing the line at 6 PM Eastern May 6 in Pittsfield, VT.

We now have a 9 person crew coming to VT. We plan on posting updates via Twitter during the race if you are interested. You can follow along through the link at the top of the right side of the blog or via http://twitter.com/dexterpunisher

One of the guys from my crew (Travis Liles) interviewed me last week regarding the upcoming race. If you are interested you can check it out here: http://runtheultras.com/

Regarding our fundraising goal for the Free Wheelchair Mission, to date together we have raised enough funds to donate nearly 70 wheelchairs ($4,126.40). That's 70 lives that have changed because of your generosity. Thank you!

As I stated in the interview with Travis, we may not hit the 200 wheelchair goal by next week but we will hit the goal of running 200 miles through the Green Mountains of Vermont next week.
