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: |

Now 4 of 4 in our home have been COVID positive. We tried all year to be safe and use safety practices, only works if others around you in public do to...which they don't in SE Idaho due to our regions "rugged independence". Now just worried for our elderly parents, we will help out here now that we are positive and keep them out of the public as much as possible.

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 besides in my day planner 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. based on paper logs before electronic logging)
Mileage 2005-2006: 3,878 miles (Coolrunning.com)
Mileage 2007-2019: 43,721 miles (2963 - '07, 3706 - '08, 3760 - '09, 3659 - ‘10, 3725 - '11, 3468 – ’12, 3256 – ’13, 3395 – ’14, 3306 – ’15, 3171 – ’16, 3104 – ’17, 3298 – ’18, 2910 – ‘19)
Mileage to date 2020: 3,326 (12/31/20). Ran the equivalent distance from Yakima, WA to Key West Naval Station, FL!
Total lifetime miles: 53,925 miles
