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 went to the gym to do speed workout with Justin...he did awesome! 1 mile easy, then 1000m @ 5:30, 1200m @ 5:24, 1200m @ 5:10, 1600m @4:47, 800m @ 4:17. A tough workout. Including recovery and cooldown a total of 6 miles, 5:47 AP.
After dropping off the kids at school, back to the gym for a few more miles. 4 miles in 26:20 running next to and talking with Marlin...glad I went back, loved catching up with him. Now my hammy is reall tight, no race tomorrow, sorry Lance. Instead going to watch state XC meet at Freeman Park, first time in IF since 2007. (Boost)

| Up early for a group run around the greenbelt through SRL with Curt, Marlin and Lynette. While we we running around the river we ran with Mike Kirk who was in town for the state XC meet (he son is running in it). Overall 11 miles in 1:27.
Went home and grabbed Justin to go run at the Bill's Bike and Run group run through SRL. 6 miles in 46 minutes.
Then Justin and I went over to watch the state XC meet, watched the 4A and 5A meets. IF didn't have their best day. Elijah Armstrong won his third state title in a row with an amazing 15:45 on a hard course. Fun running day!

| 6am...warmer out than I thought it would be but very windy. Went out with Moxie and ended up doing an easy tempo run. 6 miles in just under 36 minutes...working off some frustration and it felt good to run harder outside for the first time in a while. Hammy was there but not bad this morning.
Now to watch the NYC marathon live on TV! Go Meb and Ryan Vail!
Inspirational inteview on Runner's World from Meb about his race and his willingness to keep running and cheering others on. A great athlete!

| 5:30am..took Moxie out for a run on cool morning. I was just running easy when one of the fast gals in town ran by us on a tempo run, so I had to keep up until our turn around. Afterwards, got home and took Justin out for a run. 2.5 miles of tempo (just under 7:00 pace) and a total of 5 miles with him in 37 minutes. So, a 10 mile morning! (Ride)

| 4:30am...7 miles with Moxie on a decent morning outside...31 degrees and a light snow. Left hammy really tight. As I left for work the weather was getting worse so I decided not to bring my clothes for a lunch run (plus I am likely busy enough not to get it in). But when I got out on the desert, the weather is beautiful! Dang.
I was flying solo tonight (wife and son at Confirmation class, daughter at ballet) so after running an errand, I went out for a 4 mile run in 31 minutes on warmish and calm evening. It is still loud along Sunnyside at 8pm! That's ok, I wasn't totally alone, my hammy was talking to me! (Mirage)

6 easy miles around the greenbelt at lunch on a warmish day. Felt ok, hammy there but not as bad. (Mirage)

| It was warm outside, but very windy. Justin wanted to go to the gym for our speed workout. 1 mile wu, 1200m @ 5:21 pace, 1600 @ 5:13, 1200 @ 5:03, 800m @ 4:55, 800m @ 4:50. Cooldown. 6 miles total in 34:45. Justin did a great speed workout too...800/1200/800/800/400 at 5:50ish AP...his first puke workout!
After dropping the kids off at school, Kami and I went back to the gym and I ran another 6 miles in 38 minutes, including mile 5 fast with the last quarter sub 5:00 pace. I am tired and hungry! (Boost)

| 5am...11 miles in 1:24 through SRL and around the greenbelt with Curt and Lynette on a nice morning. Now off to a swim meet for my daughter and a run later today with Justin. (Boost)
Went for a run with Justin and Moxie through SRL on a beautiful afternoon after homework and housework. Easy to start, then Justin wanted to do fartlek's...I had a hard time keeping up with him! He hit sub 5:30 pace during the last kick of most of the intervals. His 5K split back was between 20:30 and 21 minutes for a negative split 10K! 10K total in 47 minutes. (Tangent)

| Starting to come down with a cold. A day of travel,so I missed my chance to get out before and early flight. Once we got to the hotel, I was tired and felt iffy plus it was just not nice outside (cold, windy, snowy)...skipping the run today to just chill at the hotel.

| Still not feeling the best this morning, so I slept in a bit and skipped the run before a day of meetings. Got back to the hotel at a decent hour and went out for a longish run. Ran straight out Common Rd. from the hotel through Roseville and back with a loop around the City building. A total of 12 miles in 1:28 on a cool and windy day. Going out was nice, coming back was tougher and colder straight into a 15 mph wind in 34 degrees. (Mirage)

Got done a bit early today with meetings. All the rest of my group was able to switch flights to one leaving today, not me. Ran 12 miles from the hotel out Wick Rd to Taylor then around the lake at Grace Lake Center and back on a sunny but cool and windy day in 1:31. Stomach a bit upset but got it done. I can't wait to get home tomorrow. (Mirage)

Tired from traveling but did get in a massage today which I hope will help the hammy tightness.

| It was cold, snowy and windy outside so we decided to hit the gym this morning. I ran with Curt, Lynette and Marlin and had lots of fun talking during the workout. A good progression run this morning starting easy for a few miles, then working up through MP and into a 4 mile hard tempo (between 5:49 to 4:57) for miles 6-10. I did 2 quarters at 4:17 and cooldown down for a 12 mile run in 1:14.
A good run considering that I almost didn't go because of this cold I am still battling...it may be a very low key weekend after our church meeting this morning.

6.5 miles at lunch on a warm but windy and rainy day. Ran to the store and met Gray for a run back to the park. Nice to get a run in with him and have a good chat. Nice and easy for this run. (Mirage)
My family were all at activities tonight, so I went to the gym for a weight workout. Wow, was the gym weight area packed! Felt good to do this again...been a long time since a harder workout.

| Went to the gym a bit late and run an easy 6 mile progresssion run in 38+ minutes. Ran next to Lynette, Andrea and Deborah...lots of tough times right now. My old Tangents are due to be retired as when I run in them I get an abrasion on a toe on my left foot. Too bad, love these shoes just not this pair. I have one pair left (Tangent 4) for upcoming marathons. (Tangent)
5.25 miles at lunch on a cold and windy day. 5 loops around Freeman Park and to and from the office. (Mirage)

| A good day of running. I got out early for an easy 3 miles with Moxie then I met a group including Curt, Alana and Gama for more through SRL. A total of 9 miles in 1:07.
I came home and grabbed Justin and we went to the Run to Feed the Hungry and saw lots of friends. I paced him in the 10K and we finished in 43:55. Justin was the second person under 20 to finish (behind a HS senior) and was in the top 20 overall!! With the warmup about 7 miles. (Boost)
I feel like I definitely earned the dinner today, including an extra pie of piece and glass of wine!
Happy Thanksgiving to the FRB!

In the early afternoon I took the kids and the dog out for a run...in shorts! 1 mile with Katelyn and Moxie, then Justin and I ran to Bill's Bike and Run to say hi to Gray then ran home. We did a total of 7.25 miles having a gret time chatting and enjoying the beautiful fall day. (Mirage)
