first Race completed -5k Run to Save an orphan

October 11 - Sunday at 8:30 am I completed the run in 45mins---Hurray!
Here are the pictures from the first Fit4FOADAC project - the Long Beach Marathon in which I ran the 5k race and my 9yr old daughter finished the 1mile kid's fun race! I want to especially thank the first sponsors - Melissa Nambangi, Nicoline Ambe-Ndiforchu, Anita Balinga-Etta, Kelly Goon, Denise Beadle and Adeline Chia-Viyuoh for the initial boost that took me from walking to running...Thank you for your generous donations. And to my greatest cheerleaders - my siblings and my Mom - 'njika njamu'.
Enjoy the pictures and click here to see the 4seconds finish line euphoria:
Thank you all again for your time and visit us often to see how your donations are making a difference in Africa.

Getting addicted to running!

I can't even imagine that I would ever have to say this in my wildest dreams. I feel lacking if I don't run at least once a week...yeeeeh! Join me friends, you will feel just as good, just 3-4 miles, nothing fancy but trying to stay healthy and save a life in the process, it doesn't get any better than that.
The challenge is still on and D-Day is December 15th

$1, $5 or $10 per mile???

My Nike + gadgets are on the way yea-e-e-eh! Ok, this really means that any training I have done in the last 2 attempts at running have not been recorded but that is fine...it gives me the incentive to do more, the more miles the more the money. SO what are you willing to give an orphan if I complete a mile each time, your choice - $1, $5 or $10 per mile???
