I ran my own 10k (about 6 miles) this morning as a fundraiser. I had people pledge per mile and then I ran my little heart out :p with Kylie as my witness. Note I'm not a runner lol, not at all. Sure I ran to get ready for this massive run but I'm not a runner, in fact I hate running with a fiery passion of a thousand burning suns lol. God is so good though, I ran the fastest and longest I ever have in my life. I ran the entire thing in an hour, thank you Jesus! :)
The amount that I raised from the run-a-thon is still being determined, I have a few phone calls to make this week, but I am more happy about the run being a success and breaking my own record than I am about the money :)
I think the run-a-thon is a for shadow of my time in Africa. I thought the run was going to be a lot harder than it was. It was hard and I wanted to walk a few times but I didn't give up and God carried me through it. I also prepared myself as best as I could before hand and then let God help me through the rest. I'm definitely trying to prayerfully prepare myself for Africa, but I know I can only do so much and now I need to be ready to do my part but to let God be my strength and run this thing together :)
Man oh man, the stuff God shows and teaches us even in the little things of life :)
