Calling all runners!!!

Training for the half-marathon is coming along pretty well. I've been consistently training with a good friend for several weeks now and at this pace, I'm pretty sure that I won't die when the actual race comes along. This has definitely tested my commitment already as our "running" sessions have been occurring at 5 am...a time of day that I rarely see voluntarily...

I know several people that I have talked to have verbally committed to running with me, but now is the time to pull the trigger and register. Chosen Marathon is running a little contest for the teams. The team that registers the most runners this week will get "significant bonus $$ towards they're adoption funds"!!!

We would love to be able to capture that title and get us a couple steps closer to bringing home the next little Pighetti. Here is the link to register.

Don't feel like running a full marathon??? You can also participate in the half-marathon (like me!!), the "Kids Run" or even as a "Sleepwalker". Every little bit helps.

Also, our Team Page is up and running on the ABBA website, so head on over, take a look and share with your friends.

Sometimes you just gotta run...

I've gotta be honest...I never thought I would utter those words let alone put them out there on my blog... I'm not exactly the running type...and that's an understatement...
But - we have a pretty awesome opportunity to raise money for our adoption and considering I would do just about anything to bring this baby home...we're taking it...(and by we I mean "I" - DJ has a pass on this one....this is my dragon...)

I will be running in a half marathon in November. Just typing that is giving me anxiety. Once I hit publish I have a word of people ready to hold me accountable....GULP...

Quite honestly this terrifies me.

I'm scared because there is the (large) possibility of failure with this one...

But the reward is great...and my support is huge. Everyone I've talked to has said that marathon running is mostly mental. (Which is exactly what I think I am right now! HA!) I know that there is no way that I will be able to make it through this on my own strength. God has provided an amazing opportunity for me and the only way I will be able to finish this is through His strength and power. So when you see me running or like an update on Facebook, remember that we serve a Mighty God and through Him all things are possible...

And so we begin...one step at a time...
