I am running a 5k! In a mere 12 days (Sept. 20th) I will be running my first ever race! Now, I probably won't run the entire thing - although that would be incredible! Also, the race is supporting money for awareness of the need of organ and tissue donation in Florida.


I have several goals surrounding this race. 1) I want to run/walk it in under an hour. 2) I do want to run at least half of the race. 3) I plan on going to Sunday School and church after finishing (and showering of course!)

Please pray that my knees and hips cooperate. I ran/walked the distance on the treadmill today in 47 minutes, so I know I can do it, but if its a bad joint day, then I'm not sure how my speed will be. Regardless, I'm thrilled to be running this 5k!
