Our study of Galatians ended tonight with Moses leading us. He asked us to share one thing we were grateful to God for this week. I couldn’t be limited to just one. Here is my list… The people we shared life with this week. Patients and coaches we prayed with, the staff at Too Guesthouse…
I wish I could express more clearly the range of emotions experienced each day. Sherri said it best…joy and sadness. What a joy to be able to use our gifts to serve these athletes. At the same time, sadness to see these athletes placing pressure on themselves to continue training, pushing their physical limits, for…
Ken and Sherri joined our team today. They are PT’s from AIC Kijabe Hospital here in Kenya. They were so helpful with communicating to patients in Swahili and unloading some of the rehab and home exercise programs from Tyler. Tyler has been a workhorse for us but deserved a breather today. Ken and Sherri’s expertise…
Another very full day…here are the highlights. An early stop at Chepkoleil track on our way to the workshop. I met some new athletes who would later attend our clinic and we were introduced to Mary Keitany, the women’s marathon world record holder. A footprint in Eldoret The workshop was scheduled to start 9:00 am…
What a day! I didn’t sleep well last night but I managed to get out for what I thought would be an easy 30 minute run. About 2 miles in I was ready to turn around and go back when I was unexpectedly joined by a “sharply” outfitted Kenyan in white shoes doing his “easy”…
Amy had a brief hiccup with her arrival to Nairobi delayed 2 hours but she was still able to get a brief respite at Amani Gardens before we had to leave for Eldoret. We are still a partial team. Sherri and Ken are PT’s that will join us in Iten on Wednesday. On the road…
Saturday, July 27 Tyler and I are partially recovered after a good night sleep. Actually we overslept, missed breakast, and we were late for our meeting with Dr. Mailu. Tyler was very bummed about missing breakfast. Thankfully he was also delayed and the good people at Amani Gardens made us a full breakfast. So it…
We are “Running The Race” in Kenya for the second time this year. This is an entirely new group which is exciting and a little bit nerve wracking. I have all the confidence in the team and I am eager to see how God will use us to serve others on this trip. Tyler and…
“Jesus answered, ‘It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4 As the rest of the Running the Race team headed back to the States, Jeremy and I journeyed on to Kapsowar to visit friends. Although I was excited to reunite…
What a special last day together as a team! We drove approximately 90 minutes this morning to visit a school’s athletic day. It was like any other school track and field day, except this track was just black lines painted on rough grass, the starting gun was a block of wood, and the runners wore…
