This is an awesome race coming up in May of this year. The course sounds pretty cool and the finish line is on the University of Illinois’ football field. You are shown on the jumbo tron when you cross the finish line. Anyone interested in an awesome experience should check out the following link.

Also don’t forget the Chicago 1/2 marathon coming up the first of August. This is one of the best times you will ever have running. Rock bands playing every mile or two and the crowd truly rocks. Get signed up before it’s too late.
Check out the Rock-n-Roll Chicago site at http://www.rnrchicago.com for information.
Start training now and you can do it…

I absolutely love running in the fall. It’s a great time to get out and see the leaves changing and all God’s beauty that surrounds us. It is getting darker earlier now, so please make sure you wear reflective gear when running out on the streets.
Take time on your next run to think about all the reasons God has given you to be thankful. I’m sure you’ll still be counting your blessings by the time you get home.

I’ve been running for quite a while now and it’s only by the grace of God I continue today. How often do we take small things for granted. Our next breath, the kiss of a loved one, that simple hug to let yo uknow they care. We take each day for granted with thoughts that we will do it tomorrow. Our legs are a gift from God, just like our family and friends. For many years I’ve taken this as a given and not as a given. When we are out on our runs, take time to look at all the beauty God has placed around you. Look at the blessings you have in your life and be thankful for them. Don’t think about how tired you are or how far you’ve gone, but think about the gifts God has bestowed upon you. Take each day as a gift and not a right. Head out on each run, knowing you are running by his grace. Should you need to walk, know you are walking in His light!

Welcome to running4Christ.com. This site is dedicated to runners that have dedicated their lives to Christ. Here we will share motivational scriptures and stories to help you keep on keepin’ on.
People are always asking, why on earth would you run? They would go on to say, running just can’t be fun. I completely disagree. This is the time I use to get away from all the cares that this world has to offer and communicate with God. I throw on my iPod with all my favorite groups, Hillsong, Jeremy Camp, MercyMe, Third Day, etc…. and away I go. It’s amazing the feeling and blessings we can receive when we just allow ourselves to listen.
There is nothing better than a short 5 mile run with your iPod and knowing you had a good coversation with our heavenly Father..
Please check back as this is a new site and is just beginning to take shape.
God Bless
