Starting at the finish

Today I took a field trip to the finish line of the New York City Marathon.  In just over 6 months I will be running 26.2 miles to raise money to help protect children.  Up to this point I've been doing a lot of research about the cause, and learning a lot.  God is moving in my heart and I am excited to make a difference.  If that means I get to run 26.2 miles at my dream race in New York City, well, that's an added bonus!
I took some time at the finish line today to think about my journey.  Right now I'm just in pre-training, but in just a few weeks, training begins!  Already I am feeling stronger, and know that if I keep up with this I will be good to go!  So that's my goal!
In the meantime, I'm also thinking about fundraising.  I've got a big goal and a long road ahead of me, but I know that with God's help, it will happen!
If you have any fantastic fundraising ideas or would like to be a part of my fundraising dream team, please let me know!  The more the merrier!  It's a big job ahead, and I need help!  I'm so excited for what we will accomplish and for the many children who's lives will be saved because of it!
Thank you for your support, your prayers, and your encouragement on this journey!

Here's a few pictures from my run in Central Park today to sign out!

It was a beautiful day for a run, but it will be even better the next time I'm here!
