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: |

| Early morning meetings. After getting done with meetings, I had time to get a run in before my flight home. Very nice day for a run (50 degrees, sunny)! I ran 6 miles at the Clark County Wetlands Park on the path. Wow, they have really improved and expanded the park since I was last here! Lots of trails, 13 mile loop if you have the chance plus all the criss crossing trails everywhere and a new exploration center. Great run, fastest outside run in a while in just under 44:30 (~7:25 AP). (Ride 5)
Glad to be leaving this town.

| Went to the weight workout with the kids at the middle school early. Errands in the morning then I met Jason, the new Associate Pastor at our church, for a run. About 5.5 miles with Jason through SRL and around the river back to the church then I extended a few more for 8 miles total. Nice day with a snow covered path. (Xodus)

| 4:45am...warmish morning with no wind. Pathway was a mix of a light ice or completely dry for the first 3 miles, then the snow started and it made it a tough run back as now I could not see the icy patches. Skated a few times (Moxie dragged me!) but made it home with no mishaps. Between the snow, ice and cold weather coming, it looks like TM time for the rest of the year (mostly!) on the new equipment at the gym! (Xodus)
No second run, too cold, windy at lunch then I got busy with chores and helping our Pastor pack up his stuff to head back to Iowa this week. We are going to miss Pastor Tom!

| First day of an 11 day holidy break off from work! Slept in and I was going to go out with a couple of running buddies, but Curt was injured and Craig was snowed in. So I took Moxie out for 5 miles along Sunnyside then came home and grabbed Justin to go back out. As we headed out the door, the snow started...and it kept getting heavier throughout the run til is was a white out for the last mile! Cold and ice covered by the time we got home! Another 6 miles with Justin to get 11 miles for the day. Then I shoveled the driveway,.,now I am tired. (Xodus)
Merry Christmas to all the FRBers!

| Slept in after a long day yesterday with family. My family went to the gym, Katelyn and I ran, Kami and Justin did weights.
10 miles in 1:04 (6:26 AP). Some easy, some fast on the new treadmills. They have courses with videos in differnet places with you can watch and the incline adjusts, pretty cool. I did a California Trail run and a run in Germany. Got the machine up to 11, 12, 13, and 14 mph. Have not run that hard in a while. Hammy and glute felt ok. (Fastwitch)

I took Moxie outside because it was pretty nice, but she started to come up lame on her front left paw so we just turned around. Hope it is just the cold, she is walking around the house just fine. Went back out for 3.5 more solo miles. (Ride 5)

A quick review of my running stats (for my own validation) since I started training for marathons and really tracking mileage in 2005. Prior to 2005, I didn't track mileage and ran at most 3 times a week for about 2-5M each time for the previous 5 years (2000-2004) as I was more focused on weight lifting and tennis in this period. Estimate that I ran about 3,000 miles total prior to making running my central athletic focus in 2005.
Mileage pre 2005: 3,000 miles (est.)
Mileage 2005-2006: 3,878 miles (Coolrunning.com)
Mileage 2007-2014: 27,932 miles (2963 - '07, 3706 - '08, 3760 - '09, 3659 - ‘10, 3725 - '11, 3468 – ’12, 3,256 – ’13, 3395 – ‘14)
Mileage to date 2015: 3,306 miles (12/31/15). Ran the equivalent distance from Bend, OR to Key West, FL this year!
Total lifetime miles: 38,116 miles
