God places people in our lives for a reason! I have been blessed by my recent encounters with previous team members Renee Kelly and Kim Deacon. It was so awesome and inspiring to get more details on their individual stories and to get the encouragement from them.  Additionally, I ran into current team member, Michael Harvey while on my way into the Fitness Center with my family on Tuesday night.  It was neat to talk training with him, to hear what he is doing and how he is progressing in his preparation; very well, I might add eventhough he is on the "other" (green) team. I still think he is doing well.

Today I ran 5 miles. I call it the Turkey Creek 5 mile look, kingston pike to lovell road to turkey creek to campbell station road.  I was thrilled that I ran the entire thing with a little walk at the top of two hills. More exciting was the fact that I felt so good doing it! I have to admit that I was kind of dreading it primarily because I have struggled in the past, huffing and puffing my way through. Today was different and I am feeling that I am on my way and can feel myself getting stronger and having more endurance which is just a neat feeling of accomplishment. Stay tuned . . .
