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: |

Happy New Year to the FRB! Slept in after staying up with family and friends to ring in the new year...good food, good company, good fun (and a good workout playing Just Dance 3 on the Wii!). Went out at 9am with Moxie for a nice and easy 10K in 46 minutes. Afterwards, Kami and I went to the gym to lift weights. 1 more mile outside after lifting weights with Kami when she tanned...in shorts!
I learned yesterday of the death of one of the best runners I have known, Tom Borschel, from Lou Gehrig's disease. Tom was a great guy and a fantastic runner from Idaho Falls...he was the World Master's Mountain Running Champion in 2004 for the 45-49 age group! Tom, you will be missed.

11 miles at the gym in 1:05:30. 1 mile warmup, 6.5 miles at MP, 2 miles at 5:33 pace with a couple of quarters at 4:30 pace thrown in. 1 mile cooldown at MP to finish off the run. Day off then back to work tomorrow. (Mirage)
5 miles outside in the early afternoon with Moxie, meeting Trevor and Coach Smith at Community Park. A great January run outside in perfect weather (45 degrees, sunny, calm) and in shorts...wow! (TSD5)
Kami and I did the Yoga video we got for Christmas (thanks, Alana) to help improve flexibility...still need a lot of work. My back was a bit stiff so some of the moves were not only hard (even if I was flexible) but impossible.

| I woke up with a very stiff back today, but managed to get out of bed and go to the gym to see if it would loosen up (plus I could stop at any time). I managed 7 miles (2 easy, 5 at very easy MP). Back was still sore afterwards...when I got home I laid down and couldn't get back up. Took some ibuprofen and treated with heat and is a bit better...finally made it to work after 3 hours in bed! |

Decided to hit the gym just in case my back acted up this morning...feeling much better than yesterday! 1 mile warmup, 6.5 miles MP progession (6:22 - 5:42). 0.5M at 4:26 pace. 8 miles in 48:35. A good run, only run for today. |

4:30am...8.1 miles in 1:01 on a nice morning for a run. Met up with Curt and ran through SRL and back down Sunnyside for a bit (6.5 miles with Curt). A good easy morning run with a great friend and running partner, thanks Curt. (TSD5)
5.1 miles in 34:15 (6:42 average, last mile at slow MP) on a nice day at lunch...sunny, calm and decent temp (33 degrees) so I ran in shorts, long sleeves, vest, earband and gloves. A good easy run at a decent clip to get in some nice outside running in this awesome weather. (Ride) Gray and I just registered for and set up travel for the Surf City Marathon on February 5 in Huntington Beach, CA...should be a fun trip (inexpensive too from Idaho Falls!).

4:15am...8.6 miles with Moxie on a warmer (30 degrees) but breezy morning. Pathways a mix of clear and icy patches in the shaded spots. No watch, just out for a run. (Ride)
6 miles in 43:20 around the river at lunch. Not bad weather, just not nearly as good as it has been. Gettin' in the miles. (TSD5) |

6:00am...I took Moxie out for a couple of miles before meeting the group for a long run. Craig, Curt, Gray, Lynette and Trevor were all at the corner at 6:30. Did an initial 6 mile loop through SRL running mostly easy with Lynette and Curt, then a bit faster with Gray. We dropped off Trevor and headed back out. Lynette and Curt stayed with us and ran for a few more miles, then Gray, Craig and I finished off about 16.5 miles. Gray really started pushing the pace the last 5 miles (he was feeling good!) and we were running sub 7:00 pace and coming back to the corner I was in the 6:20 range...at the end of an 19 miler, not too bad. Eased home for a 19.25 mile run in 2:20 (about a 7:17 average pace, negative split big time). I was really feeling it by the end of the run, longest run in a while, good training run for Surf City. Now for a day taking down all the Christmas decorations and going to Tom's life celebration.
