Impact a Hero

This weekend was pretty big for me. First of all, baseball season is ending and its time for Mike to start traveling...Time for me to get serious about training now that I'll have the extra time. Also, I did this run called impact a hero to raise money for wounded soldiers. Just a 5k but I was pretty happy with my time of 26:56- especially considering I put in 8 before the morning before the run and that Houston is freaking humid! The Texans were out and I beat a few of them, including the quarterback! I didn't get a chip timer, not wanting to make the run about anything but fun...but according to the times, I would have been a solid 2nd in my age group. So its an out and back course...I'm about 3/4's of a mile from the finish, which means I'm also at 3/4 miles from the start and on the other side of the road and there are these two soldiers on cruches trucking up the course. It was so emotional, and I must have been the only one who noticed. I started yelling and one of the Texans running beside me looked over and started cheering them on too. That's why I run, that's what God is showing me in all this. -Lindsey
