I said WOOOOOO HOOOOOO! That is what I’ll be saying and hearing as I train to run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on October 9, 2011. As you train to do WHAT? That’s right, I AM A MARATHON FINISHER! This past Saturday was the first meeting for the Kingdom Running Club (KRC). KRC offers a 9-month program that educates and prepares members to run a marathon. The KRC purpose is – To teach individuals how to effectively prepare and to run a Marathon God’s way, solely relying on direction received from the Holy Spirit. Participants will be empowered to take methods and teachings endowed from God and to apply them to other areas of their lives.
Considering where I am with my health and where I want to go in life, how could I not take this next step? Running the marathon is not something that I want to do it is something that I have to do.
Our first homework assignment was to indicate why we want to run a marathon. Here’s my statement:
I’m running the marathon to take control of my physical health and to also make exercising and possibly running a permanent lifestyle change. For a number of years I’ve dealt with a chronic condition that can be controlled with diet and exercise. I’ve had ups and downs with controlling it but am now at a critical point in how the doctor would like to treat the disease. I know that God has healed me completely from this condition, so I run and change my eating habits as an act of faith.
Several years ago, I attempted to train for and run the marathon, but did not follow all of the natural as well as spiritual directions and ended up dropping out half way through. I’m in a different place now in the natural and in the spirit and do not expect to encounter the same issues.
I’m also running as a dedicated member of the Project Eden team. I’ve sowed my time and talents to the PE team, and have also traveled to Haiti on both trips. Now I will also run to raise funds for the work of rebuilding Haiti.
It begins! WOOOOOO HOOOOO!
