Saturday, March 12 was the official day for the 2nd Annual Nun Run. I woke up at 4:45am to cook breakfast and get ready to run. Papi woke up at 6:30am and was certain to rally the troops. Dad got home at 7am. He ate breakfast and got ready ready for the run.
We went out at 7:45am to start our run at 8:00am.
Everyone was excited to be outdoors. Sweetie had shoe troubles, her laces were too long. She forgot all about it once she got moving.
Here we are warming up – walking to the levee.
Sparkles agreed to have some pre-race fun. She joyfully warmed up as Sr. Carmen Maria Bernadette.
We decided to run the first mile together. Rose had to opt out of running. She is still recovering from an injury.
Runners, take your mark!
We had a couple of false starts.
The girls pushed themselves and ran hard.
Here are the 1 mile race results:
Papi – ran his own race and did not go for time.
We had a beautiful scenery to help keep our minds focused on Our Creator.
Rose took the littles back home after their 1 mile run. Dad and I continued for the remainder of our 10K.
I’ve ran many miles over the past 2 months. Still, running doesn’t seem to get easier for me. I must make a new conviction each mile to persevere, to glorify God with everything I do. I meditate on Christ’s Passion when I run. It is through Him that I find my strength.
Lena’s 10K time – 60 min 57 sec
Dad was kind enough to run with me despite his lack of sleep. He was a wonderful running partner.
Here we are post race, 6.2miles.
ALL FOR!

I’m prayerfully working on becoming fit and healthy. The journey has not been entirely smooth. In fact, it has even been painful at times.
“I forget the past and strain ahead for what is still to come. I am racing for the finish, for the prize to which God calls us upwards to receive in Christ Jesus.” ~Phil. 3:14
I do it all in prayer and with the support of my family & friend/accountability partner.
Still, it is a constant act of the will. I continue to be tried and tested.
My pray is for perseverance. I’m running for physical and spiritual fitness.
“Tackling serious matters with a sporting spirit gives very good results. Perhaps I have lost several games? Very well, but — if I persevere — in the end I shall win.” ~ St. Josemaria Escriva, Furrow, 169
This journey is for Him.
