Fist training run for Bentonville Half.
I'm not gonna be ready.
Enjoyed the holidays way too much! |
Fifty years ago, I graduated from Gentry High School in Gentry, Arkansas... that was hard to write... I can't believe fifty years have gone by so quickly! My little town is not so little anymore. It is buzzing with energy and potential! Even though I have not lived there since 1968, I am so proud to say that I am from Gentry! The wonderful people of that community so many years ago lovingly molded and shaped me. My values, my beliefs, my character, my central core. All were influenced by the pioneering spirit of neighbors, small business owners, church pastors, community leaders, teachers, coaches, school administrators and, of course, students and childhood friends.
So, I want to in some small way celebrate Gentry and give back. I am running in the Bentonville Half Marathon on Saturday April 8, 2018. I am hoping to raise funds for programs supported by the Gentry schools and the Gentry United Way. And, of course, finish the race... and not finish last.
Since this is my first post for this race, I hope to share more in the coming days!
