In endurance events, there are times when it just comes down to putting one foot in front of the other. I'm motivated to do just that right now. I had to do a similar process to finish the Galena Marathon both times. Here I am at the start of the 2009 Galena race. The FCA-E yellow is easy to spot.
In my pursuit of moving my faith into action with the Mohican project I have decided that the only thing I can do while I wait on certain peices to fall into place is keep moving. I have to keep training and praying about how God will use me on this mission. It is not my race, I'm just lucky enough to get a go at it and whatever is provided for me to use as I continue on is a blessing.
Here is an update on the progress:
- still waiting for two families to be acknowledged through the Nampa, ID and Ashland, OH areas and for God to provide a bridge for me to raise funds for their needs
- looking for a road bike, which I will need to serve as a critical part of my training
- Mohican 100 date is still not set, so I'm concerned I'll be rushed to get back to Ohio in time
- financial cost of this project is looming, it is intimidating to think of what I will have to invest
- no word back on various side projects, including a weekly off-road time trial in Kuna or the Owyhees
