Team Living Water....

In my lifetime, I have run 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Half Marathons... If you're counting that's 2.5 full marathons. Ok so maybe you're not allowed to count that way, but I sure do. That makes me sound a little more hard core than I actually am. The truth is that on any given day, I can be found pulling a sadly slow mile and probably puking afterwards. I am still very much a novice runner. While I'm working really hard to change that, I love coming alongside other novice runners and challenging people who have never run more than a mile to consider running a half marathon. There are few things that are more exciting than to see people literally take huge steps of faith and to talk with them through that process.... rarely about running. I run for relationships. I run for conversations. And in my next race, I will run for these things as well as clean water!! You can sponsor me here. I've never run to raise money for anything before so I'm pretty excited. I'm looking forward to it and encourage others to join the team.... I just hope I can keep up!
