We are now seven weeks away from the McNaughton Park in Vermont 200 mile race. This past week ran 124.05 miles with a peak day of 22.50 miles.
This week's photo is from the 2009 North Face Endurance 50 Mile Run in LaGrange, WI. This was a case where you have a goal in mind and find out that on that given day you are just not going to succeed. The goal then changes from a "time" goal to a "finish" goal. Sometimes just finishing a race is enough. Hopefully, in a few short weeks we will succeed with our time goal of well below 48 hours.
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.
