A Window to Mark's Training

Hi Everyone:  I took my little camera with me on a run in late August so you could see where I'm training for the Harrisburg Marathon on November 11th.  Thanks to Maria for putting this together, and thanks be to God for giving me the ability to run for Him.  Kenya is a little over two months away.  We got our passports, bought our plane tickets.  It's all becoming very real for us.    Praise the Lord!

A Partnership that Inspires!

The Olympics were inspired me as I trained for the marathon in Harrisburg, and as I prepared myself for the trip to Kenya.  The 10,000 meter run was particularly inspiring.  Mo Farra (England) and Galen Rupp (US) trained together, and the ultimately came in 1st and 2nd in the race.  It was a great achievement, and they were able to accomplish it because they focused on doing it together.  They found strength in their training partnership.  Isn't that what God wants from us as believers.  He wants us to hold each other up, and gain courage to run the race to its finish!
