I finished running the marathon with a personal best time of 4:23!! With the help of friends and family i raised almost $500! That makes me pretty happy.

4 days left!!
I only have four days left till the marathon. I think i am ready but i won't know for sure till mile 22 on race day. That's when my body will let me know if i did enough long runs. The other thing i am scared off is rain.
But i am reading all the advice on what clothes to wear for the rain. As long as it doesn't rain the whole time i should be fine.
And of course it is exciting to see more people donating to Worldvision and helping me get closer to my goal!! I am so excited to have a team of people from church who are also running!! I am so thankful that our team leader helped pull it together and recruit so many of us.
Here's the link to donate. Http:/tinyurl.com//nslacleanH20

Training is Hard!!
Check out my WorldVision page
This will be my fourth marathon! But it’s been the hardest to train for. Why? So many other things are demanding my time and attention, it’s been hard to get my miles in. That’s part of why I started training only 6 weeks to the marathon. But it is still something I had to do.
I was inspired by the team of 16 or so people from my church who ran the LA Half Marathon. Many of these individuals don’t like running or have various injuries that made it difficult to run. Yet for the worthy cause of providing clean water they ran.
So here I am training reluctantly, but training. Thinking of little kids and whole communities having water. Something that’s so easy to take for granted but absolutely essential and necessary.
Please support my run with any amount that you can! Thanks.

LA Marathon 2012
With only 6 weeks left to the LA Marathon I decided to train and run. I finally stopped avoiding the hard work. Once that decision was made everything else was easy. An amazing team of runners from church completed the half marathon in January and that was so inspiring. Now there's a team of us running the marathon in March. It is so cool to challenge myself physically and at the same time raise money to help kids and communities who are in need.
