Very stressful day today. Between school, work, and making a renewed attempt to tow back towards God it seems like the very gates of hell intend to swallow me up. Happens every time..

But at least I recognize it now and know why. However it still amazes me every time and only thing I can do is stay strong and know that God's will trumps all. 5 miles at SLCC fitness center with 3 miles at LT effort.

Hang tough! You will make it.

Balance is the key and its hard, because I struggle with it as well. I find it even harder to balance when I start running more.

What's really helped me is an early morning devotion with my wife before I do anything.

Since you took time off have you struggled with the last few miles on a run.

Steve,

I am sorry to hear about your rough day. But know that "If God is for you, who can be against you?" One thing that helps me is to quote scripture out loud and sing worship songs. Also, do some spiritual warfare. Just a suggestion. God bless you and your family....

Satan is a pretty powerful dude, but God has more power and will help you if you hang in there. Remember - life is like a run - one step at a time.

Hey, you should read my post today about my heart rate monitor. I think the last one was crap and that was causing me to be so slow.

From Ashbaker on Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 01:18:45 from 174.52.96.106

Yes, all true. Thanks.

Maurine-Are you sure your max hr is correct? I do know when batteries get weak on mine it gives all sorts of funky readings. Suppose it could have been something monitor related..
