The Real Man of Steel!

P1060788

This is what was written about the Tokyo Marathon that Pastor Jeremiah Boek was involved in this past weekend: "What a day. With 6 degree temperatures at the start, strong winds, rain turning to snow as temperatures fell, and a tsunami warning for the waterfront finish area, this year's Tokyo Marathon had the worst conditions in the event's four-year history. That is saying quite a bit after the cold rain in 2007 and the gale-force winds last year. Times were never on the table as runners fought simply to survive." http://japanrunningnews.blogspot.com/2010/02/tale-of-two-fujiwaras-tokyo-marathon.html

And this is what Pastor Jeremiah wrote, but first, we are so proud of you Jeremiah, Praise the Lord!

“By God's grace, I was able to run my first marathon and complete it in 4 hours 7 minutes.  I had hoped for under 4, but the conditions were extreme.  I am thankful for all of your prayers and support.  To God be the glory!  I am also proud of my wife, Gigi, who ran the 10K.  She trained hard and completed in good time.  We are excited to see each of you again soon and give you a big hug!!”

God bless each of you!  Pastor Jeremiah
