My daughter decided to celebrate Christmas by giving to those who are not as blessed as She is. Our Church introduced us the Operation Child Christmas project and whiteout doubt, she knew this was the way she wanted to do it.
Her goal is to build at least five boxes with gifts and notes for friend all around the world.
She wants to put in each box the following articles:
1. A Toy (Boy or Girl)
2. Toothbrush
3. Toothpaste
4. A Notebook
5. A pencil
6. Candy
7. A note or notes
Fortunately
the hard work always gives a sense of accomplishment, even when the goal is not
achieve.
"Safety of our participants, as well as our volunteers and spectators,
is our primary concern on MetroPCS Dallas Marathon race weekend. We met this morning with officials from the City of Dallas, Dallas
Police Department and the Office of Special Events to assess the
situation. Due to current weather conditions, and forecasted conditions
for Saturday and Sunday, as of today at 12:40 p.m., the decision has
been collaboratively made to cancel the 2013 MetroPCS Dallas Marathon. We regret that the race will not go on as planned, but are confident
this decision is in the best interest of our runners, volunteers,
spectators and the general public. Additionally, the MetroPCS Dallas Marathon Health & Fitness Expo for Friday and Saturday has been canceled." https://www.dallasmarathon.com/

This week I did not slow down. I ran 6 miles on Monday, 8 on
Tuesday, 6 on Wednesday and 10 on Saturday… Well… the turkey and the cherry
pies probably added a couple of seconds on my time. This thanksgiving I took
the time to thank for my family, friends and dreams.
Thank you for the 21 beautiful people who opened their heart
and sponsor a mile in my race. Together we are helping to re-build lives and
give hope.
Today was our last long run. We run with Lily 21 miles. The run-runner bird found competition now. (LOL) Today we trained runnining up and down the hills, we practiced the pose for the finish line and we danced MC Hammer. I think we are ready to run the Dallas Metro PCS Marathon in 4:15.
I run... because it has helped me to get closer to GOD!!!
"We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy
it and cannot help ourselves...The more restricted our society and work
become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this
craving for freedom. No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this,
or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable."
