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.

Follow Us Via Twitter During the Badgerland 24 Hour Run Starting this Saturday

I will be running this Saturday for 24 straight hours in part to honor my friend and neighbor Katie Sloat's father Roger Lintz who is currently fighting for his life against liver cancer.

There are several ways to follow our attempt to set a new course record (current record is Roy Pirrung's 1985 run of 137.99 Miles) in honor of Roger at the Badgerland 24 Hour Run held at the Germantown High School Track starting this Saturday at 8 AM Central Time and finishing Sunday morning at 8 AM Central Time.
