Road to San Diego…

I don’t know how I ended up deciding to run the marathon… many things led up to my decision… but the most direct influence I can think of was Ms. Esther’s decision to run the marathon… Made me think of how crucial of an accomplishment it is to run a marathon… Thinking of the percentage of people in the world that run the marathon… made me want to run the marathon at least once before the end of my lifetime… then a couple of days later i thought to myself… Why not run it now when you have the time?? coooooooool

2007 was probably the most chaotic year of my life… So many ups and downs… facing a major setback for the first time in my life… for the first time in my life I wasn’t good enough… a future that seemed certain for the next four years all of a sudden vanished… a bittersweet ending of high school that would lead to a period of depression…

2008 on the other hand has been pretty darn amazing… not that anything has changed but because I started to trust myself less, and trust God more… Even though it’s only been a month, many things have been going right this year already…

I’ve been challenging myself this new year with many things… and this upcoming marathon is one of them… and will also  probably be the biggest one of them all…

They say your life is like running a marathon… you just keep going and going until you reach the end of it… despite setbacks and whatnot, you just gotta keep running the race…

lets gooooooooooooo

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” -Hebrews 12:1
