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: |

Weights at the gym with Katelyn afterwards. Making the 'Christmas explosion' happen at our house today, going to be a long day.

This is going to be a long month, doing my two jobs still and now have to act for the month for my retired boss (other team leads have already had their month in the que). Just advertised my bosses job...really don't want the headache and poor working environment that job would entail so very unsure if I even want to put in for it.

No lunch run as we took out a coworker for his retirement. 5% of my office is retiring this month alone. Since 2017, out of a workforce of then ~200 we have had over 45 people leave and hired >12.

| 7:30am...Kami convinced me to go to the gym instead of running outside in 22 degree weather. 8 miles in 51:30 for a 6:26 AP. Second 5k faster than the first. Last mile easy with a sprint finish (.25 at sub-5:00 pace). (Tangent)
Have a friend who is a runner (half marathons) and tries to make a connection via running which is great. But sucks up with BS and it is a bit annoying. They run a 2:10 HM on a downhill course then try to tell me they run on the TM and hit marks such as 3 miles in 15:00 and today 7 miles in 39 minutes. To someone who does not know what that pace is like it might fly but I know it is BS. Have not called them on it as it is no issue for me, but just stop.

Moxie ran 6 and i dropped her off as she was limping the last mile, then finished off 1 more for 7 miles total. (Xodus)

Really frustrated the last two days with customer service from a bank and our doctor's office, workers being total jerks and not being accountable for their mistakes and jobs. I try to maintain my cool but am getting to the point with this crap (and with people at work sometimes) that maybe I just should be an ass to get my way instead of being coolheaded. Very frustrated with people's BS right now.

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 2007-2016: 37,513 miles (2963 - '07, 3706 - '08, 3760 - '09, 3659 - ‘10, 3725 - '11, 3468 – ’12, 3256 – ’13, 3395 – ’14, 3306 – ’15, 3171 – ’16, 3104 – ‘17)
Mileage to date 2018: 3,298 miles (12/31/18). Ran the equivalent distance from Gresham, OR to Key Largo, FL!
Total lifetime miles: 47,690 miles
