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: |

| No run today. Hammy was tight in the morning and the day was too full.
My father in-law had a heart attack this morning. Thanks to God that he at our house, since we are traveling he was in Idaho Falls instead of their small town and he received quick and effective medical care and is doing well. Praise God for his timing in this situation.

| No run today. Slept in because I was tired and took the day off from work (mostly) to help deal with my father in-law...getting him home from the hospital, getting meds, etc.
I was going to go out this afternoon on a very nice day but instead ended up going to the community care to diagnosis my own issue...Shingles! When it rains it pours.
Hope to get a long run in tomorrow.

A really good tiime with friends. My left hammy was tight the entire the run and energy was low but it was good to get out. (Mirage)

Went to the gym to lift weights with Kami then stopped by XC practice. Ran 2 miles with the coach then ran intervals pacing the fast boys. (Mirage)

| Slept in and went out around 7am for a 12.5 mile run with Lynette. From our meeting spot through SRL and around the greenbelt. On the way home we ran by the store and ran with the folks at the group run (mostly with Gray) then headed home. Total time of 1:35...left hammy tight the whole time.
Nearly immediately went into doing yardwork...getting tired. (Mirage)

6 very easy miles at lunch today on a beautiful day for a run. I think that my chronic left hammy pain may be sciatic pain. Have to look into this more. (Mirage)

| No run this morning as I had to get to work early and I was a bit tired. Hope to get a run in at lunch or afterwork before evening activities kick in.
My father in-law went back into surgery today to get two more stents placed in his artery. Praying for a steady hand of the surgeon and a successful procedure that leads to some improved and long life for him. Dad did great and the surgery was a success.
No run today, too busy at lunch and after work.
Learned a bit more about coaching kids tonight. Saw an example of how not to coach and motivate kids (despite other non engaged parents singing praises). I have not in the past, don't now and won't in the future try to motivate kids like the example I saw.

Tired after a long day at work yesterday, but it was a VERY good day. Proud of my team at work as a couple of Senate staffers left our meeting indicating that we set a new standard. More visits today and they left very impressed and all of us very happy.
7 miles in 50 minutes in the afternoon after work...beautiful day for a run! (Mirage)

| Got out a bit later for 5 miles with Moxie on warm and windy morning (50 degrees!). When I returned home, I grabbed Justin and we went out for 4 miles. Started easy then he pushed the pace. I couldn't catch him in the last push...he is getting fast!
5 miles at lunch on a nice morning in a slow 37 minutes. Just crusing and my left hammy was really tight. (Mirage)

5.25 slow miles around the greenbelt on a cold and windy day. Hammy about the same. HM is 99% off due to this issue...too bad, looking forward to this fun race. They have embroidered personalized duffle bags for the participants...have to figure out how to get mine! (Mirage)
