Powered by Hope and Toby Mac

This weekend I felt LAZY!!  While 30,000 people (or somethin’ like that) were running in the Country Music Marathon I was standing around taking pictures.  Alright, I didn’t really feel lazy, but sort of guilty.  I ran the full 26.2 miles a few years back (and the 1/2 last year) and I’ve decided that I’d rather just take pictures. 

So, New Hope Academy and Toby Mac (one of my homies) partnered up this year to raise money for one of the greatest schools on earth.  I think I heard that the Powered By Hope crew went from 50 to 300 participants in just one year… there were lime green jerseys everywhere!  And that’s a good thing as lime green is not just a great color, but lots of money was raised to benefit New Hope. 

Here are a few pics I got before, during and after the race.  AND, if you want to make a really really great investment, go to New Hope Academy’s website, read their mission statement and donate all your money!

my BFF who finished in 1 hr and 36 min.  ROCK!!
