AHHH! So it's my third day of running and I am beginning to wonder what I got myself into........pain in my shins with every pound on the concrete. I'm purposfully trying to avoid keeping track of mileage until I'm in better shape. For those of you who arent' aware, I've decided to participate in the Global Distance Project with our church (Cedar Creek) which is a marathon in Detroit. Yes, that's right.......DETROIT! The purpose is to raise funds for Casa Hogar Vida. This is an orphanage for children who have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS.
On a more selfish note.......I've decided partly that the extra stubborn ten pounds left over from pregnancy has got to come off. No more baby pouch and thunder thighs. I should mention though that at this point I'm planning to run a half marathon with it being my first and all. I have no idea what is in store for me but as I train I am bound to learn from others forming new friendships.
And when this is all said and done, hundreds of HIV/AIDS children and families will be touched and blessed.

What type of shoes are you wearing? Being that I run a bit myself, I know that the right shoe makes all the difference. Personally, I recomend New Balance. I have the 8505 series of running shoe. Best running shoe I've ever had.
