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.

Survived training day 1...hmmmmm

I finally registered for the Long beach 5k run thanks to Denise my friend from work who is running the half marathon to benefit FOADAC! Shame on me I could not dare the half marathon with her. All I had done before was a walk for this or that cause, AIDS, Autism, women's cancers, leukemia etc. This time I will be running to save an African orphan to support FOADAC and stay fit.
The 12 laps to complete a 5k loop run was brutal and by the end of about 75minutes I had ran, walked and wobbled at the same time...my shins are beginning to ache so I can't wait for what will happen tomorrow, stay tuned and don't forget to register for the 12 week Challenge
