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: |

| Slept in a bit and watched a movie with Kami before going out for a run (staying home from church due to sickness in our house). 5 miles slow with Moxie along Sunnyside.
At home ate and did stretching/rehab exercises then we went to Community Park and did some laps, Justin and I ran 4 miles. Nice time to connect and chat. (Mirage Red 2015)

| I did not feel well when I initially woke up (considered staying home from work), but after getting up and having coffee, I felt a bit better. Took Moxie out for a 5 mile easy run and felt a lot better afterwards (headache, glutes, etc.). Nice invigorating run...since it was not at 4:30am! (Ride 3 2015)
6.5 easy miles with DanS at lunch on a good day for a run! (Ride 3 2013)

Ran a total of 12 miles this morning nice and easy just catching up with friends. The last half was tougher with the wind and rain but a good run. Afterwards some stretching, foam roller and rehab exercises. (Ride 3 2015)

| A bit tired and tight this morning, so I focused on rehab exercises, stretching and foam rolling this morning. I will run later today.
10K so slow that I can barely call it running. Warmish but windy, overdressed by the end of the run. (Ride 3 2013)

| Horrible sleep night last night (brain turned on at 2am thinking about HS training/running with Justin and his buds...didn't ever really get back to sleep). Skipped morning run and instead stretched, rehab exercises and foam rolled. Run at lunch and after work with kids.
6.5 miles on a beautiful day at lunch. First run in a while where things are really feeling better. 5 miles at 7:30-7:45 pace, the last 1.5 miles were slower to not push my hammy/glute too much too fast. Overall a great run, everything feels really good afterwards. Total time of 50:40. (Ride 3 2013)
Went to community park as a family. Ran 2 miles or so with Justin and Katelyn then Justin and I ran 2 more while Katelyn walked with Kami enjoying the nice weather. (Mirage Red 2015)

Full morning of breakfast with a friend, PT, work call then lunch date with Kami. After a quick nap (yeah!) out for a short run through the neighborhood with Moxie...shorts and shirtless (yeah again! sorry for the paleness it is winter in Idaho). (Mirage Red 2015)

| Day off for President's Day so I slept in and had an easy morning...coffee, Bible study, stretching, rehab exercises and some chores. Made a big breakfast for my daugther's sleep over, then went out mid morning for a run in the sunshine, cool weather and wind. 6 easy miles along Sunnyside in shorts, and jacket. Nice day off!
Went to the track with the family and Justin and I did speedwork (or so to speak) for a total of 4 miles. Ran pretty well for the intervals, not to exhaustion but hard for current situation and fitness. Justin ran good and set his pre-season marks for the 200, 400, 800m to gauge his improvement (already had a 1600m mark set). (Mirage red 2015)
36 men run sub 4:00 miles this past weekend...incredible! 3:55 from a Montana State runner (relative unknown guy) to top the collegiate ranks is cool too!

| COLD outside this morning so I skipped the early run and stretched. I went out after church on a nice afternoon with Katelyn and Justin. 2.25 miles with both really slow. Dropped off Katelyn and went out solo (Justin ran by himself) and did another 4.25 miles with some MP tempo thrown in...felt pretty good.
So much for the movie being motivation.
