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: |

| 5 miles with around 6am nice and easy. I ran into Curt and we ran and chatted for about 2 miles. After getting the kids off to school, Kami and I ran 5 miles into SRL and back. She did great and her foot is feeling better. Hope she can continue to "hate it less" and run more together. (Mirage)

We were going to try to get in a speedwork session this evening, but a big storm blew threw instead. So my daugther led us through some stretching (she does this in ballet)...man is she strong in her core and very flexible, I was impressed!

| No morning run. Have the beginnings of a cold and my hips/hammy were tight. Slept in and will try to go out at lunch and this evening with Justin for a speed workout.
Lunch...80 degrees, light wind, sunshine...sore throat, stuffy head, low energy, tight left calf...4 miles in 25 minutes, not too shabby. (Cortana)
Speedwork with Justin and Kami at the track. 200/400/800/400/200 with 200m recovery. :37, 1:20, 2:55, 1:25, :39. Justin pushed pretty hard. (Boost)

| 11 miles this morning with Curt around the greenbelt and out a bit on Sunnyside in 1:24. Nice run and good company. After dropping off the kids at school, Kami and went to the gym for a weight workout and I did a hard mile on the TM in 5:10. Had to change machines because the first one shut down twice. (Ride)
Proud of Justin in his race yesterday, he ran a 6:27 pace for 1.25 miles and his relay team won and set a course record!

| I decided to skip the new local HM race today to instead go to the track with my family and do a speed workout with Justin. Went out early for 4 miles with Moxie (Ride) then after everyone woke up we headed to the track.
Justin and I did a ladder workout again. 200,400,800, 1600, 2000+ and he did great! Splits: :36, 1:22, 3:02, 6:16, 8:40 (1.3miles). We did 200 or 400m recovery. Justin then ran some with Kami and Katelyn and after a few laps with them, I did a hard mile in 5:00 flat and felt very comfortable. Overall 7.25 miles on the track this morning. (Boost)
Weird day at the track...baseball players throwing on the track, yoga moms, wrestling team...all on the track and most of them trying to run in the first 2 lanes. Afer a few of our laps they moved outside which was nice.

| No run this morning as a big storm was rolling through...heavy rain and LOTS of lightning in the area. Try for a run at lunch and a speed workout with Justin after work.
No lunch run, too busy at work.
Hit the gym with Justin after work because of the impending heavy rain coming. Justin did great running 5 miles, with 5x0.5M at 5:52 pace or better for each interval. I ran a total of 6.25 miles with 4x0.75M at 4:52 or better, 1x0.5M at 4:30 and a quarter at 4:17. After changing treadmill's after our warmup (could not keep pace), I hit the 5K mark at 16:30 and finished 5 miles at an average 5:19 pace including recovery and cooldown. A good workout today, been a while since I have done one of these. (Mirage)

Going to the gym with Kami to do weights after taking the kids to school.

| I ran the Shelley Spud Run Half marathon today with what seemed like 90% of our running group. Craig was the RD and put on a great race. A very nice course too! About 40 runners so a small event and treated this like a good hard training run. Ran solo from the gun and just ran nice and steady to not aggrevate my hip and it felt really good. Ran to an easy 1:22 finishing time then went back out and ran in Nate, Curt, Lynette and Marlin. A total of just over 16 miles with the warmup and cooldown runs. Great morning for a run with great friends! (Boost)

| Early 5 easy miles with Moxie. After Justin got up, we went to SRL and did a hill workout. 1.25 mile warmup then 3 hill sets of 0.2M interval, recovery back down, 0.1M up, recovery back down. Justin hit his last interval at 5:09 pace! Cooldown to get us to 5 miles. He is getting stronger and starting to out kick me! (Ride)

4.25 miles on a cool day at lunch in 28:30. 4 laps of Freeman Park, each lap successively faster. Short run due to time, but again needed to work off some steam from work and church stuff. (Mirage)
Justin is running a XC meet today, I hope the rain can hold off until after his race.
Mixed emotions as some of my running friends made the cut at Boston, others did not.

| I slept in and went to the gym after getting the kids off to school. Cold, windy and heavy rains outside. 1M wu, then progression run from 6:18 pace to 4:55 pace over the next 9 miles (increasing every 0.5-0.75M). Total of 10 miles in just under 60 minutes. Nice harder effort, only a bit tight in hammy. (Mirage)
