Noobs!

I honestly don't know if I've ever been so excited about running as I have been this past week!

First off, one of my pastors/friends that has been off and on running for a long time now, is doing his 2nd race ever with me this upcoming weekend! I'm very proud of him for the effort he has been putting in to making himself a healthier person.

I am also extremely excited that my 9 year old nephew has shown interest this last week in running the same race with me! He's never raced before, and only ran in gym class. He's really excited to run with his uncle, and I'm excited to have a family member so interested in running! We've started doing some weekly easy runs, and I'm teaching him all that I know about my sport. I don't want to push him, but if he decides to continue running into middle school, I would be one thrilled uncle! I've always been the only Amburgey to run (at least any time recently).

I do look forward to running this race, but this time around I am more excited about the company I keep than the race I run. These are truly good times!

Praise the Lord and run on!
