What a special day yesterday was! </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple;">I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who has donated to Faith! We reached our $1,000 by Faith's Birthday! I can't thank all of you enough! This was such a great experience and I am so glad we took on this challenge! Thank you again for everything all of you have done in helping us reach our goals. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple;">The cut off date for our challenge was yesterday (Faith's Birthday). Faith should be receiving a check any time now for all of the money that you all so generously gave. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple;">So blessed, </span></strong><br />

I am so sorry for that. School is about to start up again and I think that will really help to get back into a strict regular schedule again. No excuses though. I will do better. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Although the blogging has been horrible, I have kept up with the running. Each day gets easier and easier and seeing the uplifting posts on the Pfeifer Page make the truckin' along a lot more fun. I have lots of miles to put on here...</span></strong><br />

<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">Faith's aunt Alison has volunteered to donate some miles. So exciting. </span></strong><br />

I have kept up the running just haven't found the time to blog it or put it on the mile tracker. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: magenta;">I have had a lot of interest in people donating miles. I have done a lot of thinking and contemplating on this because I felt that since I had set the goal of running 1,000 miles, it would be like I was cheating if I let others run them for me, but because there is such a strong interest, I say let's do it. I will still run my 1,000 but if you would like to run and donate miles you are more than welcome to do that and they will be tracked on this site as well.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: magenta;">The only way for your miles to show up on the tracker is if they go through me...so if you want to run and donate, if you could e-mail your name and also your number of miles to me at </span></strong><a href="mailto:runningforfaith@hotmail.com"><strong><span style="color: magenta;">runningforfaith@hotmail.com</span></strong></a><strong><span style="color: magenta;"> I will make sure they get added in. I want to be able to share with the other followers who is adding miles with us. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: magenta;">Our first mile donors are MIC AND FAITH. I was so excited to get the e-mail with pictures from their 1.5 mile run. :) </span></strong><br />

I was able to get in 4 miles this morning and another 5 this afternoon. Between thinking about Faith and all of your generous donations, the running is getting a lot easier and a heck of a lot more enjoyable. (For those of you who don't know...I'm not much of a fan of running)...but I am beginning to enjoy it. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><strong>I definitely need to thank the friends at iMom for their generous donation today. I am simply amazed by everyone's generosity. It is very, very inspiring. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><strong>Thank you again for all of your support. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><strong>"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, and skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes."</strong></span><br />

Last week was finals week at school and then I headed back to WaKeeney for some family time this past weekend. I did keep up running for most of it but didn't get it all blogged. So here is to catching up. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><strong>I have almost hit 50 miles which is really exciting and feels like a big achievement. I keep trying to picture the distance of how far that really is....from where to where. Even though I haven't run them all at the same time it is still motivating.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><strong>But what is even more motivating is the fact that we are now over half way to reaching our $1,000 goal for Faith. I can not even begin to explain how thankful I am to all of the donors. I definitely need to run faster. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><strong>I want to thank the Krueger Family and also Kory & Ann Rupp for their donations. Thank you, thank you!</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><strong>I promise I will blog more frequently again. </strong></span><br />

<strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6;">Afterwards I got conned into doing a spinning class as well. Simply amazing! If you haven't ever tried spinning and get the chance to, I definitely recommend it!! </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6;">I want to thank the Marichals for their donation today. All of you who have donated truly make my day. I was bragging to my husband today that we are almost half way to our goal and its only been a week. And then he told me run faster! My miles are taking <em>alot</em> longer to add up, but each one is definitely worth it and I am enjoying each and every one. Thanks again to all of you who have donated. I can't quit smiling.

We ran three miles before stopping by the fire station to see my husband Kody. It was a nice visit and then we returned home. It was a great evening for an outdoor jog. </span></strong><br />

But I did make it in there tonight and ran three miles. It felt really good. I could have made it farther but needed to get home at a decent time so I could get the rest of my stuff done and to bed so I can make it at 5 tomorrow. </strong></span>Running For Faithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13183451977665490553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847155132646639761.post-59354424210027085812011-05-01T20:01:00.000-07:002011-05-01T20:02:02.291-07:00Running For Faithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13183451977665490553noreply@blogger.com0
