Marathon for Mexico 2

Download the flyer!

The city of Mérida, Yucatán, where we are currently based, is a beautiful city, but just beyond its facade lies the tragic reality of addiction, violence, and hopelessness. Of Mexico’s 31 states, Yucatán has the country’s third most severe domestic violence problem, the second largest number of people suffering from HIV infections, and the highest suicide rate. “Why” one asks, “that in a state noted for its laid back, tranquil life is such despair commonplace?” The answer is tied to the fact that here in the Yucatán less than one in ten have a relationship with Jesus.

Now is not a time to wait and hope for change to come. Now is the time to “Run with the Solution!” For that reason, we’ve planned our second Marathon for Mexico to help us return to the field for our second term without delay. This page is dedicated to that fund raising effort.

So, looking at your mileage and goals, it APPEARS that you have let running “slip” a little while in Mexico…like you found something else to do with your time, huh? : ) Well, James (Meredith) and I are considering doing a marathon in mid-April here in Springfield…just depends where our mileage is by that time. This week is pretty low…I’ll only get about 28 or so in, but next week is looking good for mid-30s. Then I’ll be looking at doing some long runs later in the month. ANYWAY, all that to say, when you get back to Springfield, I hope you can join in on some runs! However, just so you’re prepared, MOST of our runs start at 4 a.m., though on weekends, sometimes we start as late as 5:30…unless we’re going long, then 4:30 or 5 is more common. Bass Pro… well, I’m not sure if I’ll be doing that one or not, but I’ll help you train for it. : )
