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: |

A great day...a fulfilling time at church in Bible study and worship with Robbie, Gray and Kari. Then we went to the hill for some sledding in the new snow from yesterday. Afterwards, we went to the gym...Kami and Robbie lifted weights while the kids and I played in the pool. Then I did a nice easy 5 mile run home in 37:36. (TSD5)
Gave my pair of Tornados to Robbie as he had no workout shoes and was wearing a 1/2 size too small in the shoes he did have.
A really good day, thanks be to God! | |

I wanted to run faster this morning and it was cold outside, so I headed to the gym and had the pleasure of running next to Marlin for most of the run. We chatted and ran about 1 hour next to each other, then I continued on and finished up 15 miles in 1:33. Kami was there and did two spinning classes as well. I also saw Lynette, Mauri and Deborah and numerous other friends. A good morning at the gym. (Cortana)
We are heading to Jackson Hole today for some fun and a sleigh ride at the elk refuge with great views of the Tetons. Should be a good day! We had great weather for the drive over and the sleigh ride amongst over 7300 elk! This was our first time to the reserve, and it was quite an experience in the cold and with the elk for a guy from Uganda!
The drive back home got a bit dicey for a while but we made it safely. |

The pathways were icy and slick from the snow storm yesterday, so I headed to the gym. I could tell this was going to be a rough morning as my stomach was a bit upset and I felt like I was going to throw up for most of the run. I was able to get in a decent 9 mile progression run in 56 minutes running about half of it next to Marlin. I also saw Curt, Lynnette and Rex there today. On the drive home I was bummed that I didn't just finish off another mile, so I ran a mile on the TM at home in 6:30. Overall 10 miles in 1:02:30. (Cortana)
Hope I can make it through the day today, not feeling too hot. |

I was really tired and sore this morning, nearly didn't make it out of bed. Got up late and to the gym (there were 30mph winds outside although it was nearly 40 degrees). I ran next to Marlin for whole run...1 mile warmup, 7 miles at progression MP for 8 miles in 50:22. I felt better at the end of the run, though I am still tired. (Fastwitch)
Giving part of of a presentation at the Teton Running Co. tonight. My focus is nutrition and I will be using some great information that PowerBar put together as the basis of my talk. Should be a fun time. |

It was relatively warm and mostly calm outside, but I already had it in my head to run at the gym due to the wind noise last night. So, when I got there at 4:30 Marlin was already 15 minutes into his run...and I thought I was the early riser!
I ran 10 miles in 1:02:45 (6:17 avg). 2 miles easy, 7 mile MP progression, 1 mile at 5:40ish pace to finish up the run. I also saw Mauri, Lynette, Kami, Deborah, Rex, etc. A busy morning at the gym on the TM's and in spinning class. (Cortana)
Had a fun time at the running store presentation last night. Too bad a few more folks from Mauri's work didn't show up but we had a good discussion with those in attendance. We are taking our visitor from Africa to a concert tonight...Richard Marx and the Teton Chamber Orchestra (for whom our neighbor is the conductor).
7 miles in 50:30 around the greenbelt on a nice morning at lunchtime. Just a nice easy run to shake things out. (Ride) |

11 miles on the TM in 1:08:50. 2 miles easy, 9 mile MP progression with 2 0.25M pickups near the end at threshold (5:30) and VO2Max (4:20). Ran next to Marlin for the first half of the run and Mauri for the second half. (Fastwitch)
We had an amazing time at the Richard Marx concert last night, it was spectacular.
We are heading to Harriman State Park today to do some cross country skiing with Robbie, another first experience for him. 5.5 miles of XC skiing, that was a lot of fun and very beautiful! |

I was meeting the group at 6am, so I was only able to get Moxie out for about 1.5 miles beforehand. I met Andrea, Curt, Deborah, Lynette and Marlin (and a GUEST) and we took off on nice morning...clear, warmish (31 degrees) and calm.
We ran through SRL and Deborah turned around at 1.5 miles (wisely as she still is dealing with her serious injury). We keep going on along the river and to Freeman Park. On the way past the Red Lion, I stopped for a quick pitstop then we ran to the park. I was running a bit faster than the group and we separated in the park but met back up on the way to the greenbelt.
I ran a bit harder back to the Red Lion Hotel and restaurant as nature was calling again at about mile 10.5. The group stopped as well for pit stops, to fuel up and get some water. Andrea looked outside and said, "Oh look it is starting to snow!".
Within 3 minutes, it was a driving, blinding blizzard outside with the wind coming hard from the south (the way we were heading). As we headed out to run, EVERYONE in the restaurant looked out at us as if we were insane! The snow was so hard and fast that you could not look up because it stung our face and eyes so bad. For the next 3 miles, we ran right into this weather and about 1 inch of wet, heavy snow fell. The snow would stick to the bottom of my shoe and accummulate so it felt like I was wearing high heels until it would fall off.
Most of the rest of the group peeled off at mile 12, Marlin and I continued on outside so he could finish off his last 2 miles. I kept going and the snow stopped but the wind really picked up to about 40mph!
I finished off 19 miles in 2:26. This was a real character building run. (Ride)
Now off to a big breakfast at my parents with my family, my parents, Kami's parents and Robbie!
2 hours of roller skating on tired legs, I am going to count that as my extra miles for today...I am pooped and sore! |
