Hi, I'm Christine, and I've been with Fiftytwo.Four since 2014 (just 30 years since I'd last been required to run per my high school P.E. classes, with intermittent sprints chasing toddlers in years following). My running is shifting toward more walking these days, but thanks to the supportive 52.4 community, it's ALL good, because "to finish is to win"! My husband and I have been married for 35 years, have 5 amazing kids and 3 wonderful grandkids. They're all reminders of the gift of family, even if that family includes unofficially adopted orphans on the other side of the world. I can't remember all the reasons I first reluctantly took on the 52.4 challenge, but what I know today is that God uses this amazing event to not only care for "the least of these", but to also bless the participants in unique and unexpected ways. Don't miss out!!
