TEAM 413 - Down the Road

This past weekend we had the pleasure of attending the ING Miami Marathon Expo in South Beach. It was a wonderful experience. Tish Stropes and Leslie Toops joined me in working the TEAM 413 booth at the expo. As always, we are so thankful for our volunteers and ambassadors. Tish has been with us since 2003 and this was Leslie's first opportunity to work with us. I am so blessed!

The ING & US Road Sports personnel did a great job with all aspects of the event. TEAM 413 has become a viable part of the South Florida running community and we are grateful to all of the wonderful people from the area. We appreciate your support and enthusiasm for our ministry.

I had the honor of speaking at the ING Runner's Lounge Seminar on Friday and Saturday. We shared a "Common Running Injuries" presentation on Friday and "Faith on the Run" on Saturday. It was an awesome experience. We look forward to attending many more events there in the future.
