Rescue Her Half Marathon: Finished!

Saturday, July 3, 2010

Finished!

I did my half today! I did it in 3 hours and 15 min. Not bad for a first timer.
I am really achey and exhausted; so, I will write more tomorrow.
Blessing to all!

Basic info on my half

Training started: January 2, 2011

Half Marathon: May

Where: Texas

How far: 13.1 miles

Experience: This is my 2nd half marathon

and both for Rescue Her.

How: jog/walk(1st one I did 75%jogging!)

Progression: Starting with a half marathon under my belt.

I could not do the last two due to a hurt foot and a stomach bug that took me out for almost 3 weeks.

Feelings: Just want this to be a part of life! And a part of doing something for the girls trafficked or at risk of being trafficked!

Things to remember: Pray for those trapped and at risk for human trafficking! Also I pray for the men that use them. I pray to keep my eyes focused and fixed on Jesus!

Why I am training for the half

I set out with hopes to be fit not thin. I have always set out to be thin and I wanted fitness to be my goal this time(little did I know, it would not be my only goal). I began training in April. Shortly after training started, a friend on FB founded Rescue Her, an organization to help stop human trafficking.

In November, I read about human trafficking and I was apalled at what I read. I wanted to do something but didn't. Rescue Her was my opportunity do something. I decided I could just start by doing my half marathon for this cause.

I want to raise awareness and help fight this atrocity. If all I do is save ONE then I have done what I set out to do.

"What if you just saved ONE? What if we all saved ONE person? We could abolish modern day slavery! You can make a difference!"
-Rescue Her website

I can make a difference. And WE can all make a difference!
