Morning: Today run was ok, i was a little sick but not too bad. Ran seven miles at a 7:46 pace with the incline at a 0.5 for six miles, 1.0 3/4 of a mile and 1/4 at 1.5. Not much going on, but work and running this evening. I did have a chance to talk to my wife about becoming foster parents. We are praying about that to see if it is Gods will for us. I kinda have a feeling that it might be. Any suggestions? Well now it is time to take my morning nap. God bless you all!!

 

Evening: Nice easy run tonight! Ran seven miles at a 8:13 pace with 5.5 at a 0.5 incline and 1.5 at a 1.0 incline. Not much going on tonight except rest and watching TV. Thanks for reading and have a Great Night!!

Morning: Nice easy day of running. Ran seven miles again with my normal 0.5 for 5.5 miles and 1.0 for 1.5 mile. But one thing different is i am only going to run four this afternoon. Kory and I are going to run 13 tomorrow and that will get me my 80 for the week. Not much going on this afternoon, except i might sell one of my cars and then i need to look for a new Garmin because mine died. That really sucks i only had my Garmin for about 1 1/2 years. Anyway, i will stop complaining. Have a great morning and i will talk to you all later!

 

Afternoon: Ran another four miles at a 8:13 pace with 0.5 incline. Not much going on tonight, I have a viewing to go to and I am going to try to fix my car. Have a great day!

This was hard to figure out, but i did it with the help of Scott! Anyway, I had a good run with Kory I was only going to run 13 miles but by the time we made it back to his house I was at 14.15 miles. Also, thanks Kory for running with me on Saturdays, i really have enjoyed visiting and training with you. Now next week is my mileage cut back week, I am cutting back to 50 miles. Thanks for reading and have a great Night! :) This is a picture of me and my dog Dobbie.

Nice day off! I had a great time at church and great day with the wife. We went shopping and watched the movie "Push." My plan for this week is to only run 50 miles and get back to doing my sit-ups again. Have a great week!! :)

Nice easy seven miles this morning. My pace was 7:50 with 5.0 miles at a 0.5 incline and 1.5 miles at a 1.0 and 0.5 mile at 1.5 incline. I do have to say that running the longer runs on the weekend help me to not really notice the increase of my incline.  And i really enjoy the longer runs. Well no running this evening because i have to get ready for tomorrow. Tomorrow is a big day for me! Anyway, have a great day and God bless one!!

Today is my thirteenth year of marriage! :)

 

I had a good day of running! Ran seven miles at a 7:23 pace with my normal 5.5 miles at a 0.5 incline and 1.5 at a 1.0 incline. My legs are starting to feel good and wanting to run faster! Not much planed for today. My wife has a dinner and a movie planed for tonight and I have to work all day. Plus, today is going to count for our wedding anniversary and valentines because my wife will be out of town. So I could use some ideas for something nice to do for her today! Any suggestions? Thanks and have a great day!! :)

Ran seven miles today, with 3.5 miles at 0.5 and 3.5 miles at 1.0 incline. I received my new shoes last night (Under Armor) and so far I really like them. Not much going on today, except my normal work. I forgot to do my sit-ups last night so I have to remember to do them tonight. Plus I have to finish the movie I started last night “Miracle at St. Anna.” The movie is two hours and forty minutes long and I am only forty minutes into it. Anyway have a great day! Also, I have been doing something really neat at work. What is it you ask? I have been listening to the Bible on CD and I really have learned a lot. It started out that I just wanted to listen to revelations and then I decided to listen to the whole Bible and I have really enjoyed it and have learned a lot.

My run was ok today, but I did start to get a little sick while running. I think it is the food that I eat before running. I ran seven miles at a 7:29 pace with 3.5 @ 0.5 and 3.0 @ 1.0 and 0.5 @ 1.5 incline. I think my body is adjusting to the increase in the incline. Not much planed for today work, Juvenile Detention center (Chaplain) and then maybe Lava Hot Springs. Then tomorrow I will be running eleven miles with Kory. I really am thinking about running the Pocatello Marathon. So in a couple weeks I will start my training on the course. I am thinking about doing what Kory told me he had to do to train for the course. Run twenty miles of the course one day a week for seven week in a row. I really am thinking about that really hard. Anyway, thanks for reading and have a Great day!

Great run today! I ran seven miles at 7:42 pace at a 1.0 incline. Today i have the Detention Center (Chaplin) then i think i will go to a movie or visit a friend i have not talked to very much. I am so excited about having tomorrow off. Not much planned for tomorrow, but running and a nice long nap and maybe going to a movie. My plan for this week is to run 60 miles and fifteen of it will be on the Pocatello Marathon course. I will be running with Kory who is an awesome friend who gets up early on a Saturday morning and helps me train for my races coming up! Thanks Kory, you the man! Thanks for reading and have a great day!

My run was good, but my MP3 died on me. So I guess I will go and buy a new one. Anyway, ran seven miles at a 7:43 pace and 6.5 miles were at a 1.0 incline and 1.5 was at 1.5 incline. I am really not soar from increasing the incline and let me tell you that is a good thing! Not much planed for today, except a nap and maybe going to a movie with my mom. And I can not forget to do my sit-ups, I am not sure why but I keep forgetting to do them. I think my old age is getting to me. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Nice easy run today. My pace was a 7:25 pace with 1.0 miles at 0.5 incline, 5.00 miles at 1.0 incline and 1.0 miles at 1.5 incline. I felt really good overall, just getting use to my new MP3 player. My new headphones kept falling out of my ear so i had to stop and get another pair to use. Not much planed for today, work and home. My mom and I did go to the movie yesterday and watch "Slumdog Millionaire." This was a good movie, but different. Anyway, time for a nap so have a great day!! :)

No running twice today and that is OK with me. Not much planed for today except my usual, work and rest. Thanks for reading and have a great day! :)

I had a great morning of running. I was hoping to run good, but i think i would do this good. I have never ran this time for this long. So for my time and distance today was a PR for me. Well anyway, Bill Mandler and i went running this morning, this being my long run and for Bill just another day of running. The first six miles sucked really bad, but we were able to run through it with Gods help. Also, Bill brought along his running light that helped us to see where we were running, thanks Bill. After the first six miles the road was almost clear, except for spots here and there. My plan for this morning run was to only run 16 miles, but where i parked the car was one mile further than i thought. But i did not mind running the extra, i think it was a confidence booster. For next week i am thinking about running between 18 - 20 miles depending on how i feel. Anyway, thanks for reading and have a great day!!
