Location: Centerville,TN,United States Member Since: Jul 30, 2015 Gender: Female Goal Type: Other Running Accomplishments: After my first child I ran a 5K. The highlight of that race was the hill. There was this super steep hill and as I ran, I turned the first corner to face it. I had to face so much more than my aching knees and racing heart though. That was a pivotal moment in my life. I ran that hill as hard and fast as I could and I made it to the top. That's the moment when I realized I could do anything I set my mind to. Afterwards, I went on to deliver four more children, the last three at home. Because I knew I could do anything I set my heart to doing. Short-Term Running Goals: Recently I read an inspirational story about a mum who started running after having a few babies. She didn't possess any special endowments that made her unique as far as having a leg up or an easier go at things. She just decided to do it. And she did. I homeschool five children and have made very little room in my life for anything else that doesn't involve them. I want to accomplish a sense of myself in these next few years in order to have a richer storehouse to draw from for my little ones. Long-Term Running Goals: The world is in desperate need of men and women who will not be bought or sold, who in their inmost souls are true and honest. My greatest desire is to raise children whose conscience is as true to duty as "the needle to the pole", who will stand for what is right even if the heavens should fall. This character must first be wrought in me. Running provides the self discipline this kind of achievement requires. Personal: I'm a wife to one and mother of five. We picked up our family from Detroit Michigan a few years ago and are braving the wild south among the rattle snakes, mountain lions, and red necks. ;) I love all things touched by God and untampered with by men. That's why I love running. |
