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: |

| Early morning departure for Pearl Harbor with the family. Came back and rested since my whole family is catching my crud. Spent some time in the pool then went for an easy 7 mile run up to Diamond Head and back just to get one in. Last day in Hawaii tomorrow. |

Last day in Hawaii. Got up and still have the crud, but went out for a 7 mile run up to Diamond Head and back...really nice morning. Justin and Kami were not feeling good so I let them sleep in. Big breakfast buffet then time at the beach and pool before heading to the airport for our flight home. |

A long travel day that started last night. We had mechanical difficulties on the plane departing Honolulu so we arrived at LAX 2 hours late and missed our connection. Got a later flight which arrived in SLC about the time we should have been getting home to IF. After the drive home, we were all tired and hit the rack early after getting things settled at home so no run today. On top off it all, my entire family has this crud still and my daughter is especially bad right now. I have had this for 3 weeks and it still won't let go! | | Comments(1) |

I was tired and it was cold outside (22 degrees) so I slept in and will catch a run at lunch.
6 miles around the greenbelt in 42:30 during a late lunch run (trying to catch up this morning). Still only about 75% of my energy level and I was having a very hard time getting a deep breath, this cold is a hard one. (Ride) |

| 5 easy miles with Moxie on a nice morning. Shorter today as I got up late due to < 4hours of sleep with a sick daughter last night...poor girl has the crud worse that any of us has had it. Still tired and congested. I saw Curt and Becky out running, made plans to run with Curt the next couple of days. Running in the Cortana's left a slight pain in my right foot. (Cortana) |

| 14 miles easy on a cool morning. 7 miles with Curt through SRL to the greenbelt and back, then 7 miles with Andrea out and back on Sunnyside. Still hacking, low energy and hard breathing...this cold sucks! |

| Out for a group run with Curt, Andrea, Lynette and McKay. We were going to run the rollers from the top of Sunnyside hill out to Bone and back, but the winds on top were terrible (30mph sustained). We decided to run down the hill and through town to get out of the wind. Unfortunately the wind had kicked up in town too so most of the run was into a stiff crosswind/headwind. Curt and I ran together most of the run and he ran very strong! I ran about 16.5 miles with the group then finished off another 4 miles solo for 20.5 miles in 2:23 (6:58 average). A good run on a very windy day...almost like most of the run uphill! (Mirage) |

7 miles in 50 minutes with Moxie before church on a cool but calm morning (20 degrees). I was really sore from yesterday in the glutes and calves! (Cortana)

4:30am...8 easy recovery miles with Curt on a cold, windy and snowy morning. Nice to have the company in this weather and to try to process yesterday's events. Left calf and right achilles a bit achy still. (Mirage)
6 miles at lunch in 43 minutes. Decent day, a bit windy. My legs felt much better, a bit of a hard twing on my achilles around 2.5 miles in then it felt really good. (Ride) |

Happy Anniversary to my wife Kami who has been my rock, my blessing from God and my inspiration for 20 years. Thanks for your example of being a parent, partner and faithful person who constantly shows me how to live a life dedicated to Jesus Christ. Looking forward to many more years together.
10 miles with Moxie on a cool morning. Ran with Corwin for a bit and for Andrea for about 4 miles. Nice run but cold (21 degrees outside!). Kami and I are heading to SLC for a few days for our anniversary and a church meeting with my parents coming over to stay with the kids. A wonderful 20 years! (Boost) |

| No run this morning as my achilles is still bothering me, my stomach was upset and it was cold outside...good reasons to stay in bed and rest a bit more before work. Appears to have worked as my achilles is not aching at all later in the day. | | Add Comment |

4:15am...7 miles with Moxie on a cool morning. Achilles a lot better, no pain but I still feel it a bit. 80% recovered so I will still take it easy. (Ride)
A beautiful day at lunch...sunny, warm and calm! Plus my achilles was not hurting so a good recipe for a harder run. My first decent "workout" run in a while...6.3 miles in 39 flat with the last 0.3M just coolilng down. 6:11 overall average, felt harder than I wanted it to but good after being sick and out of it for so long.

4:20am...achilles was a bit tight again when I woke up. Got out the door and could tell this was not going to be a good morning...tight achilles, no energy. So I cut it way short and came home, stretched, heat pad on achilles. Feeling much better now. I will see if I get a run in at lunch depending on work schedule and how I feel. (Ride)
7 miles on a beautiful day at lunch, shorts and shirtless! Really needed a good run after a long work meeting. Achilles felt good. Nice to get out and get a decent run in. Total time 48:45. (Mirage) |

3 miles at the track with my kids. Ladder workout:
100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 200, 200m, 100m. With some recovery jogs in between. The kids did great and Justin pushed pretty hard!
Glad I skipped the morning run, achilles is feeling really good right now. |

| No morning run today. Got up to go but found a puddle of water in the kitchen from a now defunct garbage disposal which leaked water from the dishwasher last night. Spent time diagnosing the problem and cleaning. Project today, replace disposal and hope the floor recovers from the water. Well at least it is a taper week for the Lake Lowell marathon in Boise plus gives my achilles more rest. | | Comments(5) |

4:15am...7 miles with Moxie on a cool but calm morning. Nice run down Sunnyside and back home at a decent early morning clip. Finished up the run in 49 minutes and had no achilles pain or issues! The day off paid dividends afterall. (Ride)
4 miles in 25 minutes (12:55 out, 12:05 back) at lunch on a nice day, a good head wind going out but nice coming back. Last harder run before Saturday's race. (Mirage) |
