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: |

It was a perfect morning for a run, unfortunately I was not up for it as my hip was really sore and I felt nauseous. Not quite sure what is going on but I went back to bed for a while and will continue to watch this issue.
6 miles on a warm day at lunch, but it really wasn't too bad being in the low 80's. Total time of 45 minutes. 3 miles solo, 3 miles chatting with Dan. Hip twinge still there but not as bad running, no nausea anymore. I wonder if it could be a tight groin as well? (Cortana) |

4:15am...7 easy untimed miles with Moxie on a beautiful morning. Hip feeling better today but still no speed. (Boost)
4.25 miles in 28:30 out on the desert at lunchtime. Hot (90 deg) with a very light breeze. I didn't heat up until I got back inside to shower, now steaming at my desk! (Cortana) |

Another perfect morning for a run and another skipped run. I was up way to late last night and my hip was jacked again. Getting tired of this. Plus just some crap last night and some issues to deal with have me tired.
The 5K tomorrow may be just a race to pace my son to a PR and not a full on effort.
Screw it....10 miles in 1:15 on a warm day. Hip didn't bother me. I'm done. Bye. (Cortana) |

I ran over to the 5K course with Justin and did a light warm up. My hip was feeling better but still not 100%. I decided to race it afterall as I was on a team and we wanted to win it.
17:21, 9th overall behind mostly young guns. Barely beat the 1st woman (collegiate runner at Weber). $25 for the place, $50 for the team win so not too bad for a slower race due to the hip. About the same as last year's time even with the twinge so ok today.
Did a cooldown back home then some solo...9 miles overall this morning. After sitting at the parade for a couple of hours, now my hips is really sore! (Boost) |

| Slept in and went out a bit later in the morning. 6 decent miles with Moxie. Hip is there but not as bad. I will try to go out later with Justin after a day at a baseball game and the pool in Poky. (Mirage) |

18 miles today. 13 miles early running with Andrea and Lynette on the Bellin/Grandview loop. Easy in 1:41 talking with the ladies most of the time.
5 miles with the entire family...Justin, Katelyn and Kami. Katelyn rode her bike and Justin did a couple of faster loops of Community Park.
Hip still noticeable but not too sore, hammy a bit stiff. Decided to skip the race in Island Park to run in town and get some things done around the house, be with the family and go to the Chukars baseball game tonight. (Mirage) |

I felt like crap this morning...stomach ache and headache, glute was sore from the basketball "bump" from Saturday night. Also, dealing with a bit of an ant issue so I just did not get out the door this morning, kinda pissed off.
8 slow crappy miles at lunch on a warm and humid day...gotta get out of this bad mood. (Cortana) |

| I meant to get up early and get out for a bit longer before and early day at work, but alas I hit the snooze a few too many times. 6 easy untimed miles with Moxie...everything was a bit stiff. Probably the only run for the day. (Mirage) |

4:30am...it was already 75 degrees out when I left for my run! 8 easy miles with Moxie. No pain issues finally and I didn't feel tired, just no energy and my legs were heavy. Need the vacation time coming up! (Ride)
6 miles at lunch untimed on a cooler but humid day. Nice to get out, though still not feeling like running hard. (Cortana)
Ok, maybe it is time to start giving my wife a hard time as she is not alone in her deficiency in bike maintenance...she and 4 other talented women went out for a long ride this morning. On the way home one of them got a flat tire...and NONE of them knew how to change it! I keep telling her she needs to learn (I offered to teach her) but she won't do it...maybe now she will actually pay attention! |

Slept in and just got up when I woke up...nice! Had a cup of coffee then took Moxie out for 4 miles. (Vibram)
32 mile bike ride from home with Kami up the Iron Rim hill then on the Shelley loop. Great morning for a ride with my wife! She is such a strong rider...started racing me in the last mile home and I had a hard time keeping up with her. Nice start to the day. |

Camping all from July 13 to July 26 with my family above Ketchum in the Wood River Valley. I have not really run this week, but we did a lot of hiking and biking. We rode a 33 mile out and back from our campground to the Galena Lodge and back...Justin did great (Katelyn is at Luther Heights Bible Camp this week).
Great relaxing time spent focusing on rejuvenation and family. 9-10 hours of sleep a night!!! |
