Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord;
hear my urgent cry.
I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me. - Psalm 86:1-7 Favorite Blogs: |

5 easy miles on a beautiful day at lunch. Pathway was a bit slick in some spots...legs were a bit dead today so I just took it easy and enjoyed the sunshine to battle SAD. (Mirage Red)

| 5am...tired and cold. 4 miles with Moxie is all I had time or energy for, mostly got out due to the dog. (Ride 3)
10K untimed at lunch on a very nice day (sunshine, 27 degrees, calm). I got tangled up with a dog less than a half mile in, tweaked hammy a bit, took another mile for it to feel "better". Nice to get some sun! (Mirage Red)
2 miles after work with Katelyn outside. (Fastwitch Red)

| 6am...too cold outside for a workout so I went to the gym. 1 mile warmup then into a 5K effort run. 5k in 16:45, 1 mile recovery, 1 mile at 4:52, 2 mile recovery with a fast finish. First workout in a while where I felt I had to puke (several times). Calves are fried. Now for a busy day off. (Fastwitch Red)

| I was tired and a bit sore from yesterday's workout, plus we have a busy morning with Katelyn's swim meet so I decided to sleep in and I will try to squeeze in a run later today.
8 miles in just at an hour. Started off with Justin and Matthew and ran to SRL. They turned around at 2.5 mile mark, I kept going to 3 miles and ended up catching them back about 0.1 from home. I went back out for 2 slow miles,,.really feeling yesterdays workout. (Fastwitch Red)

After church, Kami and I went to the gym and I did a good workout with weights...kinda made me miss when I lifted a lot more!

A long travel day. I was hungry by the time I got to the hotel and had to eat, then was too full, tired and too cold outside to run. So I relaxed and watched part of the game.

| 6am...met Alana, Curt and Rex for a run. A few miles with Alana and Rex then they turned around and Curt and I did a full river loop. 11 miles in 1:30+ just taking it easy and chatting and giving Curt a hard time for now joining the Master's ranks! Happy birthday buddy! Waited a bit to see if Justin wanted to run (no) then took Moxie out for 4 miles. 15 miles for the day. (Ride 3)

Weights at the gym after a long day at church (Bible study, service, wedding, movie afternoon). Needed to get up and move.

5 miles at lunch on a nice day. Pathways were mostly dry except in the park where they were sheets of ice. (Ride 3 2013)
I think that my hamstring issue is proximal/high hamstring tendinopathy, not just a hamstring strain. Might be looking at some time off from running to get over this. Time to spin with Kami in the mornings and lift more?

| Gave my hamstring a rest this morning and went to the gym to lift weights. Way weaker than when I did this as my primary exercise, but it is coming back. May do a light run at lunch schedule depending.
5 very easy miles on a cold day (14 degrees) at lunch. Leg felt pretty good, have it wrapped again. (Ride 3 2013)

| Skipped a morning workout to sleep in a bit and did some rehab exercises at home before work.
6 very easy miles at lunch on a sunny, calm and cool 18 degree day. Hammy felt good, glute a bit tight. (Ride 3 2013)
Spinning class with Kami after work, good workout to help with rehab. Got a really bad calf cramp right at the end of the class...hard to even get off the bike and walk.

| I tried to run before church today but it was a sheet of ice everywhere...could not even walk on the concrete/asphalt surfaces!
After church, Kami and I went to the gym to lift weights. I was going to run outside (it warmed up and melted off) but I didn't fee like it and wanted to hang out with my family.

| Woke up not feeling the best plus freezing fog and sore from lifting...went back to bed. Will try to run later today.
Came home to watch a sick daughter. I went out in the late afternoon when my wife got home from her work for a few miles. 5 miles with Moxie then 3 more with Justin. Left ankle tweaked, hammy not happy with anything faster than 7:30. Mountain to Fountain nearly 95% out of the picture. Nice day, ran in shorts in January in Idaho! Retiring the Fastwitch after this run...think it was the cause of the ankle tweak. (Fastwitch)

| No run today, staying home as I am feeing pretty lethargic and having a cold. Ugh. I slept all day and started to feel much better. I went out in the late afternoon to get some fresh air after being cooped up for so long. Hammy was even ok. (Ride 3 2015)

| 6am...spinning class with Kami, good workout just spinning out my legs (no hill climbs).
I went to my friend who is a PT and IronMan competitor. Good visit! I do have hamstring tendonitis caused by pelvic misalignment and also some hamstring weakness. We readjusted my SI joint, stretched and did some soft tissue work and laser treatment on the tendon. She showed my some good stretches and strength excercises to do to help with the alignment and will work on the weakness issue more after ensuring my SI is back right. I should have done this a while back if I would have known I had this issue.
2 miles after school with Katelyn in the neighborhood. Felt good and kept it really easy.

Weights and stretching with the kids in the basement (rehab focused for me).
