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: |

| Went to an early breakfast with a Pastor friend, then went for a run at 9am. 5 miles with Moxie, trying to get home in time for TV technician visit. Got postponed so I went back out for 4.5 miles solo. 9.5 miles total...still waiting for tech. (Mirage 2017)

Spent the morning battling on the phone with the service tech company. When servicing our TV service they cut our internet. Said the repair would happen "first thing in the morning" 1pm they final came because I walked across the street to corral the service tech. The guys were nice but what a cluster.
Justin's signing celebration tonight at Bill's! Cool to celebrate his commitment to run for Westmister College next year.

4 miles at lunch...wow was that slick! I fell once and saw two other runners go down Found a non-slick section ran back and forth to stay safe. Snow covered ice is not the best running conditions. (Guide 7)

| 4:45am...went out with Moxie expecting slick pathway but it was not bad (the roads are ice though). Nice temp, easy run. Achilles has been tight lately when I wake up, need to stretch and roll it. I loosens up quickly but need to get ahead of it. (Xodus)
3 miles after work in shorts around the neighborhood. Justin was already on the treadmill at home. (Ride Orange)

| Day off. Did not get up before plane ride in time and the travel was longer than anticipated. Thought about running after getting to hotel but the cold wind and slick conditions vs. a beer and dinner with collegues ensured the run lost out this time.
Maybe tomorrow depending on weather, work and travel conditions/timing.
