January 30th marked the 5th annual "Fun Run" here at CAG. I'm not sure where they got the title from but I assure you, racing for a little over 3 miles in the hills of San Cristobal is anything but "fun".I definitely should have thought a little bit more about everything I had to loose by choosing to run in this little race. First, I'm the P.E. coach. Secondly I'm the weight training coach, and third I'm the soccer coach. Basically I'm the one person on campus who SHOULD win this race! (not to mention the one everyone wants to beat!)So there I was, the day of the race and definitely a little nervous. The countdown began and I was loading up a pump-up jam on my iPod while some of the other soccer players are talking trash about leaving me in the dust. The gun goes off and 20 minutes later I crossed the finish line, maintaining my reputation as a credible coach...for at least this year.(definitely thinking of retiring!)
This weekend CAG is doing something pretty cool. Every year we take a weekend and serve the community in some way, shape or form. The Freshman class this year is going to Nebaj, which is more than a hop, skip and a job away. It is a 5 hour car ride on dangerous roads but the family that lives there has assured us that they've never had problems. Please pray for us as we make this journey to this community. Pray that God would use this time for us to bond as a class and for the kids to grow in the their walk with Him. I will be sure to let you know how it goes!
