Training to run the Chicago Marathon

In 2013 my new years resolution was to say yes to what God asks of me. I feel in my heart God calling me to join this cause. I thought this is crazy. The cause is worthy and I even feel God's prompting to get in shape but I can't run a marathon. Maybe God didn't know it's 26 miles. "Hi God, it's Hubert, remember me, I'm out of shape and old. I'm the one who will spend a day watching a season of Doctor Who. That's my type of marathon. Yes I will do as you ask, I'm just saying this doesn't make sense."

Then I thought I can't tell people I plan to run the Chicago Marathon. They will think I'm crazy. I will have to tell them I know it's crazy but I'm following what God has asked me to do. Of course they will still think I'm crazy but crazy for God. That type of crazy I can own. I have to admit following God's call even if it doesn't seem logical to me is exciting. Will you help me in this great cause? Together we can change lives.
