I had a crazy idea back in May, that I need to run a half marathon. I am not a runner or at least wasn't a runner. That same week, I received a Scottish Rite newsletter reflecting the donations earned from the Dallas White Rock Marathon that past year. Well, there was my motivation and half marathon, it was like God was telling me okay, you want to run, run this one. What better motivation then to run an event that raises money and awareness for a hospital that my daughter happens to be a patient of.
So in June, I signed up. I plan on running 13.1 miles on December 5 along with who knows how many individuals. I have several good friends and cousins that have agreed to run along beside me as I run my first half marathon. I am now up to 6 miles and every time I add a mile and think I am not going to be able to finish, I think of Natalie and all she has gone through and will go through in her life and like that, one more mile seems like nothing.
I ask that you consider helping me reach my goal in fundraising for this event. If you are unable to help monetarily, I ask that you say a little prayer for us as we train for this event. I am running for my daugther, Natalie!
I will keep you all updated on my training as it continues.
