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.

Tim Twietmeyer - Ironman WI

So I am standing there watching some friends compete Sunday during the marathon portion of the Ironman Wisconsin in Madison. Along comes this tall guy with a North Face t-shirt and a mustache. I thought man that looks like Tim Twietmeyer.


For those of you who do not know who Tim is - his accomplishments are LEGENDARY: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Twietmeyer

Tim was also voted as one of the Runners World Heroes of Running in 2006.

I started screaming like a teenager at a Jonas Brothers concert! TIM TWEITMEYER! TIM TWEITMEYER! It was so cool and unexpected to see him out there competing in a triathlon. Tim ended up finishing 3rd in his age group in something like 10 hours and 30 minutes.

I heard from Tim Twietmeyer early this week now that he is back in CA and at work. He said that he had to catch 12 people in his age group during the run to qualify for Kona. Tim got enough of them to take third and a Kona slot.

For those of you thinking about a 50 miler this October. Tim said that he may be back in the Madison area in October for The North Face Endurance Challenge.
