Church by the Highway and other churches in the PACC South District held a FUN RUN in Tagaytay on January 29, 2011 to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of PACC South . The theme was "running" the race of life with Christ - that running the "race" is not all about "winning" but about "finishing".
It was a fun activity. A year ago, my kids and I would have been probably sleeping at 6:00 am with no plans for the day but to work and think of "fun" things to do. The Lord has been truly grateful and faithful. We are not just "running the race" of life with HIM but for HIM.
It was a hard run of 3.2 km of uphill and downhill course.I have not run for sometime and last Saturday was my first run, more like a jog though, after a 5 month hiatus. D3 and my son ran too. D4 and Ethan watched. I won my age bracket for women. I guess I was bound to as most women my age were not jogging but walking! My son won the overall 6K run. D3 did not win in her category but if there was a category for the prettiest runner, that would be her, after me of course!
The T-shirts that were given to us have "FINISHER" and not WINNER printed on them... after all, running the race of life is not about winning (all the time) but rather finishing it.
