Last Saturday I met DonMark and Greg over in FW for the Urban Dare. SO much fun; you’ve got to check out this race! They took off from the Ginger Man Pub at noon on a wild, crazy photo race around downtown FW... 5-7 miles on foot. Given 12 clues, they had to figure out answers and map a route to various locations. Out of 30+ teams, these guys came in fourth place with a time of 1 hour, 48-ish minutes. Good thing they were able to have a “phone a friend”! ;) A trip to Luke’s Locker and Mellow Mushroom completed a very enjoyable day.
Speaking of races, here’s one to check out: the Warrior Dash. Wow.
Also, the date for this year’s 3P Challenge in Denton is set for March 27th. Mark that calendar!
And if you’re planning to participate in an upcoming race/cheer someone on who is/want another way to support the Mercy Project, we’ve sent MP Team shirts to the printer and will have them ready to deliver by the first of the year. The idea behind the shirts is to have another way to spread the word about the children in Ghana. The more people we can share with, the more we’ll be able to help those sweet kids. Click on the image below to see the shirt design up close and let me know if you’d like one. They are available in regular t-shirts or tek shirts.
I feel like I’ve posted a lot on here about ways to help the cause and such, but I also want you to know that the support Mercy Project has received so far has just been overwhelming. An awesome Spring fundraiser as well as other ideas are in the works for this next year. More on that later, but get excited and get onboard! If you’re on FB, join our page here, and consider becoming a monthly donor this next year. God is doing powerful things through this work!
Much has been going on in the last few weeks. Helped Rachel celebrate her 30th Birthday, enjoyed a Girl’s Night Out to Chili’s with church friends, logged several miles in the early morning cold, and baked copious amounts of M&M cookies. After baking 6 dozen cookies for our friends at the Lakeshore Apartments in Rowlett, our list grew to sharing some with other friends and neighbors, as well as taking into account a bit of taste-testing ourselves. So another M&M run to the store had to be made. Sometimes you just gotta take one for the team…
Map my run came in at 7.8 miles. Our time would have been about 4hours if we didn't have a good dispatcher.
Thanks!
7.8. Dang!
