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: |

6 miles after work on a warmish, sunny and windy afternoon. As good as yesterday went, this day of meetings went equally bad. A stress reliever run...did not work. Maybe free beer will help. (Guide Blue)

| Slept in a bit and took the morning easy (cold outside anyway). Longer run later today after last morning of meetings.
Full morning of meetings again. After getting to the airport area hotel, I ran 6 miles on the treadmill because the wind and cold was not looking fun. Heading home tomorrow. (Guide Blue)

| Kami worked early, I had to get kids' stuff ready and get to work early, so no morning run.
I was going to go out at lunch, but a buddy said the pathways were treacherous as I went into the locker room. Skipped the run.

| 5:45am...raining outside so to the gym while Kami went to spinning class. Progression run for 10K then a breather and fast again for 8 miles in 50:56 (6:22 avg). Felt good, Gym was crowded and thus much wamer than even just an hour earlier. (Guide Blue)
3 miles with Katelyn and Moxie in the neighborhood before FitWall. (Guide 7)
Day off, breakfast with some guys, then errands and FitWall tonight with Kami.

| 5am...7 miles with Curt and Alana along Sunnyside on a nice morning. (Guide 7)
Ran into a young man walking alone in the dark looking for the "end of Sunnyside" to walk to as part of a scout project. He was carrying a big backpack and a sleeping bag. He was maybe 13 with no adult supervision walking alone in the cold dark morning...seemed strange. So we chatted for a minute with him then called the police to check on him further as this seemed really off.
5 miles on a warmer but cloudy day at lunch. Needed this one for a work related stress reliever and time to think about issue resolution. (Ride 5)
