4 Marathons that I Have Completed!

4 more days until I turn 40.

This blog series has been a learning experience for me.  It has pushed me out of my comfort zone on many levels.  I have had to dive deep down into my creative resources to think of topics, come up with lists and then share my heart.  Before this series, I rarely ever blogged here on the NACWE site.  I let other members have the room and let myself off the hook with excuses.

Writing this series is a bit like running a marathon.  I have completed 4 full marathons (26.1 miles) during my life and they take planning, endurance, and a lot of fuel.  You have to be willing to keep going, even when you want to stop.  You have to prepare for challenges.   I have done all of those things during this blog series.  I wrote while on vacation in California during the 4^th of July.  I wrote to prepare for weekends that I was going to be serving on a ministry team in Dallas.  I wrote out a tentative plan for each day and had an assistant help me.  (Thank you Alison Gillespie of DeepRootedMarketing.com)

At this point in my life, I run half-marathons and have completed 2 of those already in 2012.  And now that I am turning 40, I will cross over into the Master’s Division for running.  Very cool!

I promise to keep running and I promise to keep blogging.  Both are good for me!
