Gearing up

I am 34 years old and just 6 months ago I quit smoking. I had smoked a pack of Camels a day for the last 20 years. My two daughter Ages 9 and 7 asked me to quit for their birthday's last year and although I didn't make it on the actual day I did make it. I started running last year in January as a New years resolution and here I am one year later gearing up for my First Half Marathon and I am so stoked it is hard for m to contain myself. I am not a very fast runner but I think I do fairly well for a beginner. my friend and I have been training for sometime for this and think it will be the greatest thing that we will have accomplished so far in our lives. Before I go any further I have to stop and tell you that the only way that I am able to train and run and set this goal is because of the Jesus Christ if he wasn't in our lives we wouldn't be trying this. we are excited about telling and showing how God can change the lives of those who may not think that he loves them because of the testimony that we can share with others just within our efforts and running accomplishments. To God be the glory.
