11/07/09 - a few miles on the OBX! Met up w/ one of the bicyclists who will be riding w/ me, er, I mean I'm riding w/ them, but they are going at my pace. They (2 w/me) are the lead crew for the marathon. This is new for me to be UP FRONT, hopefully, the entire event. I'll miss rehearsing, "just get around that next person" - I won't see anyone in front of me :-( However, there will be elite runners (attempting to set records and go on to Boston) who will be pushing my tail. I hope my furling flag doesn't get in their faces :-)
Tomorrow is 26.2+. I'm ready mentally and physically. Ready to be done, too.
Blessings Abound!!

About Me
- me
- out & about, United States
- Perseverance. That's a definite theme in my life. This triking venture is merely the next journey in growing Faith. Sometimes that's all there is to hold onto. I've always stated that I want to be included in the Hebrews, Chapter 11 "Hall of Faith". Be aware that GOD hears/responds to our prayers! I use to be a runner (couple marathons completed, even better than Oprah's time). Now, I'm a triker. Hebrews 12:1 talks about running, with perseverance, the race set before you, to attain the prize, being encouraged by those who have run before us. Well, I'll never be a runner again, but I am a triker and I want to finish the race and be an encouragement to those "triking" with me and those who will be right behind me. On Jan 22, 2008, someone crossed the center line and head-on collided with my vehicle. A "near-fatal" auto accident. 35+ broken bones; 0 internal injuries. Mild traumatic brain injury. And a forever changed life. Faith. That's all there is to hang onto. GOD's purposes are continually being revealed through this journey. Just at the moment I am able to respond. Oftentimes at the moment of my deepest despair, I finally surrender. Then, Faith is rewarded.
