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: |

My legs are trashed this morning! Slept in (as much as I could) especially since Moxie keeps barking at the neighbors teenager and his friends who are out screwing around at midnight...jerks!
Church with Robbie today, then swimming at the gym...maybe run home. Played with the kids in the pool, I swam 10 laps (Justin 25 laps, Katelyn 50 laps!). I went upstairs and ran 5k in 21 minutes while they sat in the hot tub. (TSD5)
Gray and Kari came over for dinner to close out another good day! | |

My legs were still very sore, so I wimped out and went to the gym for a very easy recovery run. Ran most of the run next to Marlin and chatted a bit. 7 miles in 47 minutes, 1 mile at easy MP. (Fastwitch)
Thanks for the eggs, Marlin!
6 miles on a nice day at lunch in 41 minutes. A good run, started slower and progressed every mile to a 6:25 pace for the last mile really focusing on my power in my stride since I need to get it stronger after all the TM running this winter. (Ride) |

It was a pretty nice morning outside...27 degrees and a light wind and lightly snowing. Curt and I met up and ran 10 miles in 1:19 through SRL to Broadway and back. Great to have a friend to talk to on a dark wintery morning, it certainly makes the run a lot better! This run was bit slower than I wanted as my quads are still a bit thrashed. (Ride)
5 miles in 38 minutes around the greenbelt at lunch on a cool and windy day. The pathway was very inconsistent and vary from dry to icy and snowy. (TSD5) |

Went to bed last night with the intent on running outside with Curt. I woke up this morning to warm but windy weather, an achy foot and a very upset stomach. Decided to hit the gym instead in case I needed to call it quits. Ran next to Marlin who was there really early. 9 miles in 56:20 for a decent run today. My foot stopped hurting around mile 4, but it took 6 miles before I felt like I was not on the verge of throwing up (stomach was that bad).
Now it is snowing pretty good outside and I won't get a lunch run in...probably need the low mileage day. (Kinvara) |

I skipped my morning run as we had to get Robbie to the airport early this morning and I was not getting up at 3:30 to run today (I didn't even get to sleep in though). Hope to get a decent run in at lunch.
8 miles at lunch in 59 minutes. I had every type of surface to run on the path today...icy, slushy, snowpacked, wet, puddles and even dry. A windy day that started off cool then heated up at the end when the sun broke through. I almost skipped today based on the weather earlier, glad I didn't. (Xodus)
Registered our Fast Running Blog Master's Team for Boston today, this should be fun! Hope they approve the team with a mix of Idaho/Utah runners (Rob M, Steve A, Walter, Marlin and myself so far). |

It was cold (10 degrees) and slick outside so I headed to the gym for a mid-long run (at least for early morning). 2 mile warmup (7:00/6:27), then into a MP progression run from 6:22 to 5:56 over the course of the next 9 miles. Mile 12 I pushed it up to finish in about 5:35 for 12 miles total in 1:14:40. A good run...ran next to Marlin for most of the run. Also saw Rex, Deborah, Lynette, Andrea, Mauri and McKay...the running group was well represented at the gym. (Kinvara)
A friend of mine gave me a copy of the Rocky Mountain Running Race 2012 Guide. I knew about half the people on the 2011 Marathon AG top finishers in the Rocky Mountain area...Jake, Ben, Paul, Marci, Lynette, Rob, Steve, Pat, Tyler, Scott, Fritz, Sasha, Julie, Joe, James, Allie, etc.
I am not sure where the got the time for the top time in the women's 35-39 category because there was not a finisher by that name with that time at Pocatello marathon (top finisher was Penny Parrish with a 3:04). Lane Marley doesn't even show up on Marathonguide.com for 2011...could have done a bit better QA (plus they spelled my name wrong).
How about good ol' Idaho Falls, ranking 3rd overall in number of marathon finishers per captia in the Rocky mountain region (not including Ammon which is essentially Idaho Falls, could have been 2nd!).
Congrats to the Pocatello marathon for being well represented in the marathon stats. |

| 18.2 miles with Rob, Rob R, Caleb and Gray in the Sugarhouse area and up to the zoo and back, really early before we go to the USATF Level 1 Coaching Class. Thanks to the Murphy's for putting up 3 wayward runners for the weekend. A really good run, total time of 2:17:30 (roughly a 7:33 average pace...some slower warmup and uphills, fast down and a quick finish for last 0.2M). Early morning long runs are much more fun with good friends to share the pain. (Ride) |
