Fantastic Four: We Can Do Hard Things!

September 20, 2008
Lake Chelan Shore-to-Shore Run

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. - Philippians 4:13

What an amazing race we had! This was our first 1/2 marathon ever! We started running the very end of April with a walk/run program. We then participated in the Maple Valley 10K in the beginning of June, and this is what we finished our summer with. Isn't it amazing?!

We spent the whole run sharing stories, laughing and encouraging each other. It was easy to liken the run to life with its ups and downs and sometimes overwhelming days, especially as we approached a few small hills and our 10th mile. But, we made it with smiles on our faces!
Who knows what's next??
Go Team Pink!

These two marines were our pacesetters and guardians during our run. They ran with over 50 pound packs and their flags waving in the breeze.

These are our cheerleaders. They are the best cheerleaders in the world!
