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: |

| I ran the annual FireKracker 5k. Just ran it to try to have Justin and a buddy run fast, not full on (beacause I really can't right now). Slowest time I have run it. Lots of friends at the race. Went to watch the parade with family and friends then 3 more miles. (Altra Impulse/Launch 2)

Instead of an evening run, I did yoga, stretching and rolling with Katelyn and Kami.

| 6am...I ran to Curt and Alana's house and we drove (with Gama) up to Iron Rim. Met Patrick and Blake and took off for the run. After the first mile I was totally solo, so I just kept up the pace and ran at tempo to mile 10 in 1:04 (6:27 avg) then ran a cooldown back to the house to finish off 12 miles. As soon as I got home, had to rinse off and jet out to Katelyn's last track meet of the summer (she ran a 1600m PR!). Tired, need a nap. (Altra Impulse)

| 5am...met Curt, Patrick and Blake for a run up and back down Iron Rim. Reached the top (4 miles) in 33:55. Had to hurdle a rattlesnake in the middle of the road around mile 3...that woke us all up! Back down in 26 minutes (ran with the guys for about half then pushed a bit harder for the rest )for a total time of 59:57. Good start to the day, leg and glute felt great today. (Altra Impulse)
10K on a warmish day at lunch (good breeze though) at a mostly easy pace. 1 mile faster racing Ron on the other side of the river from bridge to bridge. Hammy/glute ok on this run. 48 minutes. (Fastwitch)
3 miles giving some coaching to our young friend Isabelle. Good run and she was very eager to learn some tips. (Boost)

After a quick breakfast, 12 miles on the mountain bikes around the greenbelt with Kami and Katelyn. Windy.

| I ran the Idaho Falls MAD half marathon this morning. Beautiful weather and lots of friends running. Mike Stutz was back and won easily in 1:15:18 and I was second in 1:20:23. Started conservative with Mike on the downhill then he pulled away at mile 3. Legs was ok until mile 5 then started talking and mostly blew up at mile 7 and I limped home trying to stay ahead of Beau Seegmiller. My leg is good for about 7-10 miles at decent pace, less if we start fast (hit 5 mile mark in 28 minutes, slower than last year!). Overall happy with the result and effort. Not sure I like the pacing of racing much anymore...may go to strictly recreational running and stress relief (I need it). Splits: 5:20, 5:42, 5:58, 5:28, 5:47, 6:07, 6:17, 6:29, 6:36, 6:42, 6:40, 6:28, 6:32, 0:20. (Altra Impulse)

| 7am...5 easy shake out miles with Moxie. Sore when I first woke up but this easy run loosened things up from yesterday's race. Still ok with the race, but hard to think that I was 5 minutes slower than last year. Slow easy running and and injury sure hamper racing. (Ride 5)
3 more stress relieving miles in the evening.
