Age is just a number.

AM-Easy 6 miles on the mill. (7:33) avg with long warm up and cooldown. Middle miles were around 6:30-40/mile pace. Talked with someone at the gym today about their goal to run the upcoming SLC marathon and was glad to be able to help and give a little advice and encouragement.  I can see why most coaches really love what they do.

I'll get to the long run tomorrow..  I know nothing like procrastination:)

PM-No run. Went to church and attended Sunday school. The subject was about the birth of Jesus in the the books of the New Testament.  A really interesting lesson and discussion, and has also given me some good material to study and ponder this week. It's interesting to note that there was just not one witness to the veracity of this account.. but several. Something to think about.  Also Matthew 7:12 on a side note..

AM-Easy 8 miles. 6:30-7/min pace.

PM-No run. It's been a really mixed bag of emotions today.. It's our wedding anniversary today however I also found out that my Dad had a stroke. But thankfully he is going to be ok.  Not much else to say.

AM-8 miles at 7-8/min/mile pace. Took it easy because of weights planned for tomorrow. Weight is up to 145 lbs which is the most I've weighed in years. But my waistline hasn't changed so thats definitely a good thing. Not worried, I will take all the extra weight I can get.. Tired of being skinny:)

AM-8 miles at 7-8/min/mile pace.  Weights and foam roller afterwards.

AM-6 miles easy. 7th/94th.

PM-4 miles easy. 7th out/back.

AM-8 miles at 6:20-6:30/mile steady state. 1% incline. I've become somewhat  a curiosity and oddity at the gym it seems. Maybe because I spend so much time on the mill while most folks are walking I don't know. So I cut short and went to get some weight work in especially on the chest and biceps area.  Felt great though:)

AM-6 miles easy-medium aerobic. (7:12) avg at .5-1% incline.  Weight work with the leg press machine and some tricep work. Foam roller also although I wonder if I'm doing that one correctly. But it does hurt though..

Slept pretty well last night but had a particularly vivid dream and made a note to remember it after waking up.  I dreamt that I was at the University of Oregon and saw some of the greats there including the former Bill Bowerman. I won't bore you with the details but the message I got was to do what I was meant to do in life and not necessarily what I wanted.. What that is I'm not sure of, however I think it has something to do with academics and family. In the past one of the the biggest dreams I had in life was to be able to attend U of O and be on the track team.  That didn't happen unfortunately..

Time to really reassess where I'm at in life and to make some good but equally meaningful goals.
