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: |

| My back was really hurting last night and I was still a bit stiff this morning so I skipped the morning run to sleep in a bit and then stretched and rolled.
Beautiful day at lunch...sunny, not too warm, light breeze. 8.25 miles around the greenbelt and Freeman Park a couple of times. 57:20 (6:56 avg.)...started slower, last 4 full miles under 7:00 (6:31, 6:46, 6:48, 6:50). Good run, back and hips felt much better but I had some tightness in my right achilles. (Altra Impulse)

| Dan picked me up and we drove to the Menan Butte and ran the trails up to, around and through the crater just enjoying the scenery, company and natural setting. Good 6 miles of fun running/hiking. (Xodus)
Busy day...coffee with dad, last day of school activities, getting Kami ready for her century ride tomorrow, yardwork...3 mile shake out just to relax and have some down time. (Bikila)

| 5:15am...beautiful morning for a run...too bad is was such a crappy run. 6 miles with Moxie then dropped her off, pitstop, changed shoes then back out for 9 miles through SRL to the River Walk Trail (aka greenbelt). Slow, sore, unmotivated. I wanted to go a bit longer but my glute/hammy were just not up for it. (Altra - 6, Mirage - 9)
Kami is riding the Little Red Century in Logan, we have 2 graduation parties, swim day at the pool (first time!), yardwork, etc. A busy day today.
Bike ride with the kids in the evening.

Staying home to work on prepping for more carpet work and to be with Justin and his recovery.

| Woke up with plan to run, but tired and stiff and unmotivated. Stretched, rolled, and did extended devotionals this morning. Will run at lunch and/or after work...too busy with other things. Needed the day off anyway.

2.5 miles with Katelyn and Moxie in the neighborhood. (Mirage Gray)
Good luck to all the athletes at RONR, Scenic River Classic and Spinderall (Kami is doin the 100M ride with a group of friends).
Camping (first one this year) with the faimly tonight at Rigby Lake (easy 30 minute drive up the road). Good spot (power, water, cheap) with things to do. But it was really windy and we had an issue with the awning. And the wind was really strong all night so it was hard to sleep.

No run at lunch (busy). Antsy and bored at home (family gone or on electronics) so I washed 3 cars, forced my son to register his team for the race this weekend and went out for a 4 mile run (solo) in the evening heat. (Altra Impulse)
