Today is the Boyack Family Reuion up to Lagoon, should be a fun day with the family. So I was able to do an early morn run which fellt alot nicer than the late afternoon. I did the route up canal road to the golf course, which was a couple of miles of good wind resistance. It was blowing pretty hard, and then down power house road, back across the river bottoms to home. I was a little supprised towards the end of my run My wife wendy came running down canal road. I was kind of shocked to see her out running. She gave me one of her tee hee's and carried on with her run. she has been running a couple of miles a day. I proud that she is adding a new exercise to her routine. Well better go get cleaned up and ready to go to were fun is. LAGOON !!!!!!

Today was back to the afternoon running, and it was diffenitley a hot one. I figure if I keep going at this rate I should be able to run the Bad Water Ultra Marathon in death valley next month.  Ha, Ha, 135 miles of running in a furnace ouch, it's only 130 degrees in the shade. Todays run I could tell a differance from last weeks hot runs. I think my body is starting to get used to the hotter weather. I did'nt feel  the heat until the last 1.25 and then I started to feel a little drained. Total time was 1:1140. Won't do my mile splits becasue I kept it slow so as not to have heat stroke. Have a good one, see you tomorrow.

The heat must finally be getting to me, Right from the start my legs felt very wacked and shacky. I could not get into a good rythum. So I listened to the old body and cut the run to just a 5 miler. I just flet totally warn out. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully they will feel better. I did 200 crunches yesterday and today.  Other than that it was still a great run. See ya tomorrow.

The legs felt much better today, I felt like I had some rythum today and not awkward at running. It was another hot afternoon, and  that darn wind seems to hang around each afternnon. The air looks alittle on the unhealthly side. I guess it's ok to run  in. I also did 200 crunches. No injuries at this point, knock on wood. I will take tomorrow off and hope for a long run sat. see ya then.

I had to go into work at 2 am this morn, arrived home about 8am put on the running garb and headed out for my long. Todays route took me to the top of harry's hill down through salem, back up power house road, around the golf course and home. It did get a little hot the last 3 or 4 miles but we gutted it out. Wendy road her back the whole way and it was nice to have her encouragement. She even road to the top of harry's hill. She is really turning into a real biker chick. It is nice to have family support in training for a marathon. I ended with 200 crunches.

June has been a weird month. It you would have told me month ago that we would sale our home and buy a new one and move, have a daughter move to Texas, and a grandson have open heart surgery, I would have told you, you are crazy. I can't believe that all that has happend this month. But things are starting to settle down now and we have been witness to alot of tender mercies from the Lord, I have diffenitley noticed His hand in the lives of my family. I testify that He does live and He is real and a part of our every day lives if we will let him in. Hope ya all have a great weekend, catch ya latter.
