My training for the Indy 500 Festival Mini-Marathon this year has been focused on breaking 1:30:00 for the first time.

My training for the Indy 500 Festival Mini-Marathon this year has been focused on breaking 1:30:00 for the first time.  However, just found out today that the first 500 finishers (out of 30,000+) receive a special medal (pictured above).  Last year, the time to make the top 500 was 1:28:40.  Not sure that I have this in me, or even a 1:30:00 for that matter, but it is very tempting to give it a shot (keeping in mind that the time could be completely different this year).  Is this crazy?

Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it’s all about.

Most mistakes in a race are made in the first two minutes, perhaps in the very first minute.

To say that I’ve never been a big fan of Ray Lewis would be a MAJOR understatement.

To say that I’ve never been a big fan of Ray Lewis would be a MAJOR understatement.  However, I was blown away by this speech he made to the Elon Phoenix football team.  Wow! (Note: in the video there is a swear word yelled by one of the players after the speech is over)

It’s very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit.

My Grandmother (May 10, 1911 – April 2, 2011)

My grandmother, Viola Smith (“Nanny”), passed away last Saturday night at 99-years-old.

Playing with my daughter Sara

Her funeral was Tuesday, and during the service, the preacher read two poems that were written by my cousins Kathy and Cody Haskins (Grand-daughter & Great-Grandson). I thought both of these poems were very special and wanted to share them. This first one is from Kathy, and I will post the one from Cody in a couple of days.

Granny, A Best Friend

What A Life You Have Lived.

What A Life You Have Shared.

A Great Example For All,

In The Way That You Cared.

 

With Only A Fifth Grade Education,

The Teacher You Have Been,

Not With Books And Paper,

But With Your Helping Hands.

 

We Can’t Thank You Enough,

For The Values You Instilled.

A True Christian Lady,

With Drive, Determination, And Will.

 

You Answered When Called Upon,

To Help In Times Of Need.

It Might Have Been To Babysit,

Or Show Us How To Plant Some Seeds.

 

We Will Hold On To The Memories,

Each And Every Day,

That Began In 1911,

On The Tenth Day Of May.

 

I Can See Your Blue Volkswagen,

Out In Front Of School Each Day,

I’d Climb In With Excitement,

For I Was Going To Your House To Play.

 

Biscuits Were Your Specialty,

Coconut Pie Such A Treat,

Cake With Chocolate Icing So Good,

Your Cooking Was Hard To Beat.

 

You Taught Me How To Sew.

You Taught Me How To Cook.

You Taught Me How To Iron,

No Matter How Long It Took.

 

Thanks For Being The Grandmother,

Everyone Would Love,

I Promise To Pay It Forward,

While You’re Watching From Above.

 

Your Journey Here Has Ended,

Tired You’ll Be No More,

You Go Home To Glory,

On That Bright And Peaceful Shore.

 

 

Kathy Haskins

The Oak Barrel Half Marathon

My thoughts on the 2nd annual Oak Barrel Half Marathon in Lynchburg, TN

Oak Barrel Half Marathon
April 2, 2011
www.oakbarrelhalf.com

My Run:  Overall, the Oak Barrel Half Marathon in Lynchburg was my seventh half marathon. This race was capped at 1000 entries, and there were just under 900 that made it to the finish line.

I went into this race with a lot of uncertainty about how hard I could push myself.  During the fall and winter, I ran four marathons and one half marathon in a five month span. At the Murfreesboro “Middle Half” marathon in October, I set a new PR of 1:31 (6:57 pace).  After completing the Mercedes Marathon in February, my body was pretty trashed and I decided to re-evaluate my training plan and race schedule.  This included a re-commitment to P90X/Insanity, and not scheduling another marathon until October.

Namasigue, Honduras Mission Trip Update

Well today has been another eventful day in Honduras. We found out around noon that our Tuesday flight on American Airlines has been cancelled, and there is no indication of when the flight between Tegucigalpa and Miami would resume.

While everyone is safe there are a few things that are becoming critical such as individuals running out of prescription medications. After exploring multiple options, all 22 members of our group have been rescheduled on a 12:47pm Delta flight to Nashville through Atlanta.

This rescheduling means that we will incur a significant additional expense, but we are hopeful that our travel insurance and the credit from American Airlines will cover most, if not all, of the additional charges.

The group made it safely back to Tegucigalpa tonight, and we will head to the airport early tomorrow morning.

Please continue to pray for our safe return!

Namasigue, Honduras Mission Trip Update

Our group has now been in Honduras two days longer than planned. We are currently at the Mission Lazarus Posada/Refuge on a cool morning in the mountains.

As of now we are scheduled to fly out of Tegucigalpa at 2:20pm tomorrow afternoon. I know the situation in Miami is still uncertain, so your prayers continue to be appreciated.

We made a slight change in plans last night and will now be traveling to Tegucigalpa this afternoon instead of tomorrow morning. Our plan is to have a small clinic in Jayacayan this morning, and some of the men will be working on a construction project at the Posada. Shortly after noon, we will pack up and head north.

I am still grateful that everyone is safe and that we have a place to stay and food to eat. God is good!
