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.

Return to the 150 Miler This Weekend

I am getting ready to return to Pekin, IL April 13 to defend the title at the 150 mile trail run at the Potawatomi Trail Runs. I have run this race three times: 2007 (3rd place), 2008 (2nd place), and 2009 (1st place). The race has not been held since 2009. I’m going after my friend's David Goggins’ course record of 33 hrs. 36 min. www.potawatomitrailruns.com

I will be one of 31 runners starting the 150 miler. Please follow us along as we start at 12 noon Central this Friday, April 13. We will be updating via Twitter. Go to www.twitter.com , search on @dexterpunisher , and click FOLLOW.
