Shoot me an email at jimmieadavis@gmail.com. God bless! Jimmie SeanReynoldsZ,

Okay, while this one was a walk, back in 2007 I did the Oxfam Trailwalker in Taupo, New Zealand, which was a fundraiser for various works performed by Oxfam around the world, with the funds raised by my employer going towards water supply projects (and time to time, some of my colleagues would contribute their own talents in that regard). The Oxfam Trailwalker was a 100km or 60 mile walk which my team did in 23 hours 32 minutes. But anyway, would anyone here be keen on starting with me a global Catholic running club to raise funds for various apostalates: Pro-life work, funding seminarians, funding missions, work for the homeless, or whatever else your local Bishop wants done?

However, I still have gotten out there over the years and run (on the treadmill or road) as a way of glorifying God for the gift of my healthy body which bore 11 kids. It's my way of saying thank you. I also feel that I'm called to be a role model for other moms as part of my vocation. Exercising is integral to most mom's health. I, too, like to pray the rosary and have received spiritual gifts in addition to actual gifts--like persevering when I feel like stopping. Thanks for this article. Maybe it'll encourage some folks to pray more and encourage others to get out there and "just do it" to the glory of God. I have 11 children so sometimes I feel too tired to run.

We are in the process of replacing the entire forum module with a new one. We hope to have it up to corespond with the launch of our new woman's channel Tuesday.

I have a similar story. Approximately 6 months ago I put away my MP3 player and began praying the Rosary during my training runs for a 5K. Before I knew it, my mileage increased and my time improved. During the race, I kept with my pattern of praying the Rosary. Before I knew it I was crossing the finish line with my best time ever. I also came in 3rd for my age division. All praise and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ! I am so very grateful for this article. I have a similar story.

Run in such a way that you may win it. Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one. So I do not run aimlessly, nor do I box as though beating the air; but I punish my body and enslave it, so that after proclaiming to others I myself should not be disqualified” (NRSV, 1 Cor 9:24-27).
