This photo is me three years ago, completing my sixth half marathon. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and went through chemo and radiation. That whole process took me a year and then it’s taking me another year to train but I’m excited for the upcoming half.

--My running journey started many years ago with a prayer for discipline to exercise consistently and from my first run to my current exercise activity I thank God for the ability to do so. As many of my immediate family members battle diabetes, I strive to exercise diligently keeping them in mind and believing for them to remain courageous in their fight. Endurance running has shown me enhanced health, physical growth and increased faith. I'm so glad to participate in the first San Antonio Half Marathon this weekend. Good luck and God bless all participants. Julian
