13.1 miles

I am a runner. Well at least I'd like to think that I am. First and foremost I am a follower of Jesus Christ. Next I am wife to an amazing man, then Mommy to 2 great children. And then I am a runner. Not a great runner. Just someone who really thanks God that He has given me this ability and desire and enjoyment of running. There are a lot of people who share my love and a lot those who don't, my husband being one of them :).

Most of you know I am training for the Chicago Half Marathon in September. It is a daunting task. More daunting at times is the daily traning schedule. I had been doing great and it seems as the days get hotter and muggier it gets harder, mentally to run. So today, I did a workout video to warm up and then headed to the track. I thought the kids would love the big grass yard to play in. I was wrong. But I got my speed training in anyway.



Thank you God for this body you gave me. May I use it for your glory and for your Kingdom. Thank you that along the way You give me joy in running!!

Kandy! Great job running today!! Keep it up, and hopefully next weekend you'll still be at the finish line when I cross to cheer me on after my first race!

Way to go, Friend! I wish I enjoyed running more but each time I do it I am thankful for the body God has given me and all that he allows me to do with it.

You motivate me to want to run, even though my body doesn't like me after too long. I'm still thankful for it tho. :)
