Running Again

After a long lay off, I have decided to lace up the old running shoes and hit the road. I will be running the Flying Pig Half-Marathon in Cincinnati to raise money for two groups of people: 30 teens from our church and the children in a small village in Belize. In June, our teens are leaving the affluence of our country to minister compassion to some of the poorest children in our hemisphere.

I call this a WIN/WIN/WIN/lose proposition. Our teens WIN because this will be a heart-expanding, life-changing experience for them. The children in a small village in Belize WIN because of the love that will be given to them and the tangible infrastructure that will be left behind to assist with their education. Debbie will WIN because her husband, whom she has been worried about, will be healthier. The "lose" part refers to my waist line.

In just a few weeks I will have a fund raising apparatus up and running (so start saving your nickles and dimes (preferably $5's and $10's).
