But its to raise money for water wells in Zambia. My main motivation is for Mama's who will get to give their babies fresh water. I can't imagine giving Gianna a dirty cup of water. (After walking miles and miles to get it.)
And I always want to get in shape but seem to lack the discipline to persevere. I enjoyed running but just didn't stick to it. This way leaves me no choice but to continue. Because of what the cause is for, and because people will be donating money (and already have! $100 too. For some reason website says it was me but it was Liz Maruggio :)
So God-willing, come October, I will be a radically new creation. And I believe it can happen because more and more I see the truth of I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Never thought I'd be whipping out paintings and having them in art galleries either. So I'm excited!
The first step is to do a 10k on April 14, starting a 10 week plan today. My little training partner Gianna and I ran one mile and it took me 14 minutes to do it. I have a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng way to go between now and Oct. 7th. (26 n's there for 26 miles lol)
I committed to raising $50 a mile which is $1310. In my heart though I would love to raise $4800, which is enough for an entire well. To know that an entire communities life would be changed in such an important way thru this decision would be too cool and so motivating! I'm sure I can get creative with the fundraising :)
My donation page is here :o)
And I'm going to track my physical transformation with a photo every week or two. Can't wait til they start looking different! :)
Part of me thinks I should wait until I get farther along before being all public with this, but that would mean I'm afraid I'm not going to go through with it. And as long as its within my control I am.
So here we go! :o)
Gooooooo Jenni you can do this !!!
