CHECK OUT THIS TESTIMONY FROM MEMBER LARRY WELLS (from the 2008 Rocket City Marathon in Huntsville, AL): "I wanted to share with you that the number of people who commented on the Christian Runners singlet was almost overwhelming. Somewhere around the 22 mile mark of the Rocket city Marathon some guys came by and asked several questions. The next thing I know we're having testimony time just praising God for all his blessings. Just by wearing a shirt. This is the reason I joined Christian Runners." Larry G. Wells
We will meet this Saturday, March 13, in the Brownell Travel parking lot at 7am.
Note: Some folks have expressed concerns about joining us for fear of not being fast enough and not knowing anyone. Don't worry, our runs are FREE and open to all skill levels. Typically, our runs include two groups: 4-6 milers and longer runs for those who are in training for up to full/half marathons (several of us are training for fall marathons). We're serious and not so serious runners -- someone is bound to match your pace.
Christian Runners is FREE -- there are no memberships fees or fundraising requirements.
Once you're plugged in, you'll wonder why it took you so long to come out and join us!
Have a great week and peace in Him. Scott

3/31 - ING Georgia Half-Marathon: A quick note on the ING Georgia Half-Marathon from this past Sunday. Wet and chilly conditions, tough hills, and strong head winds (per race director, gusts were up to 20 mph) made for one challenging race...this was evident in Joseph Chirlee's slower-than-usual winning time of 1:06:42 (he's a consistent 1:03 half-marathoner). There were more than 8,100 finishers in the half-marathon, which was up from last year, so the race is definitely growing in popularity. Weather notwithstanding, the folks in Atlanta put on a nice race.
