Praise the Invisible

(**This blog was written on the airplane out to California before my 26.2. That update coming soon!**) No matter the run, no matter the distance, “somehow” my “random” shuffle of a playlist plays a Daniel Bashta song as the last song of my run. It blows my mind every time that Jesus even dictates the […]

Jesus, Pneumonia, and a Marathon

I am less than two months past pneumonia and less than two weeks out from my first marathon. According to doctors I should still be hacking up my lungs. I only have one explanation for this and His name is Jesus. On my run yesterday (it was only a 5 miler) I was worshipping and […]

Join me in November?

This past November, I was thrilled to have a Girls Night out with my friend Dorie. Now you should know something about our friendship…it’s not a typical one. We have been known to fly across the country together and spend 32+ hours together in a van, running 200 miles…so a girls night out would none […]

Run This Year 2014

Some may have seen the crazy thing I posted earlier this week on Facebook…. “Run 2014 miles in 2014.  Who’s with me?”  (You may have also noticed it’s the only thing I’ve posted this week—-I deleted Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter off my phone this week to be more intentional with my boys.  My apologies if […]

My Running Story

To start this story–I need to go back-way back.  Running is in my genes.  Growing up both my parents were runners  (I recently found a race shirt of my mom’s from 1986—and have been wearing it around the house!)  I joined the track team in the 7th grade and I will never forget the day […]

Boston: as a newbie runner & the fight against fear

Boston.  It is one of those moments that you will forever remember exactly where you were sitting when it happened.  I was in a coffee shop with a friend that had just returned from the mission field.  Her back was to the tv screen and I had to interrupt her and say I am so […]

A Runner, A Sale, & A Happy Thanksgiving

EEk.  I’ve hesitated to call myself a runner.  For a few months I even hesitated to put any hint out anywhere that I was starting to fill my time with running around the block.  Just in the last few weeks leading up to my 5k today did I start to give hints on different forms […]
