Marathon running!

I've had this blog for many years. In fact I've had this blog since I ran my very first Marathon. It's so cool to be able to travel back in time and see all the marathons, and runs I've done and different ministries/organizations I've raised money for.  This was before twitter and instagram and all those "cool sharing sites". I'm just really thankful that I have this. And now I need to make sure I add pictures from my training runs and races. This will help me when I finally write my book/ make a photo album.

12?

Finally completed my long run. I really wanted to run 16 miles but my body only was willing to do 12. I have to get to 20 before 2/7

Motivation, Where art thou?

It's Saturday. I'm supposed to run 16 miles today. So far I've run O miles and walked about 5 steps. Hopefully by the end of the day I'll find the motivation to complete all my tasks and my long run! I just keep thinking how awful race day will be if I don't get this run in.

Thursday run

I finally went on my first run this week. It was supposed to be a 5 mile run. I made it to 3 miles. The marathon is a month away and I have to get myself to be able to do two 5 miles run each week(in addition to the long weekend  run) I need a running coach or buddy or something! But
at least fundraising is going well.

LA Marathon 2016

I'm running the LA Marathon in February! I just started training recently so I have a lot of work to do.  It brings me so much joy to know that my running can help make a difference in people's lives on the other side of the world. Please donate and help me reach my fundraising goal.

I've had the privilege to volunteer with an awesome organization, Faith in Christ Ministries(FICM)  for about 7 years.  It's a wonderful organization in South LA working to meet the needs of families.  This year I will be running a 5k on May 7 to raise money for the SAY YES after school tutoring program.  This is a Christ centered program that creates an opportunity for students to receive help with their homework and academic needs. Please support by hitting the donate button, or contact me for other giving options.
