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: |

We are having awesome weather right now! Went out early before church for an easy run...44 degrees, sunny no wind! Nice and easy start and pushed up to about 6:30 pace a couple of times for a total time of 1:01.
After the service, the church had a picnic which we stayed around for, then we went home and played in the backyard for the afternoon...waterguns and trampoline! Man, my kids are good shots with the water guns. Kami went for a 14M bike ride down through Snake River Landing on the new pathways...nice!!!
Talked to my friend Pam who finished her first marathon at Ogden yesterday...she is very excited (and very sore)! |

7.5M easy miles on a warm (48 degrees) and calm morning. Nothing hard, just an easy start to the week in new shoes (dug up one of my Trigon Ride boxes that I stocked up on about a year ago!). (Trigon)
8M around the greenbelt on a hot (75 degrees) and calm day. 1M easy to wu, 4M at MP (6:11-6:25 pace), then 3M easy (6:45ish avg.). Overall the run was good and I completed it in 52:30. First "hot" run of the year! (Ride) |

Got up earlier than normal to get a longer run in this morning as I probably won't get out at lunch so we can take Dan S. out for his birthday.
Awesome morning at 4am, 58 degrees, calm and clear. Slow, easy run down Sunnyside, around the Edwards Theater and down Hitt Road to 17th, then back home. Saw 3 other runners and 3 bikers out...active morning before 5am! First few miles really slow then picked it up slightly, but still easy in a total of 1:18. The ball of my left foot started to ache a bit as I was approach 8 mile mark, not bad but enough to be noticed. I don't think it is anything serious but I will watch it (switch to new shoes because I was feeling it last week too, hopefully that will help). (Trigon)
3M after working and having a couple of beers with Dan for his birthday. Got home an the guys were finishing up our new gate. Family was not home from activities, so went out for a quick run before they returned in warm but cloudy weather. (T3) |

6M very easy and very early (out the door right at 4am) as I had to be at work by 6am. Warm but windy today. Just easy miles.
No run at lunch due to meetings and slammed work schedule. |

8.5M easy this morning in nice cool (38 degrees) and calm weather. Once again slow and easy with no watch, just getting in some base mileage. Everything felt good, just hard to feel energized and awake this early so no real fast pace (probably around a 7:45 to 8:00 avg. pace). Hope to get a run in at lunch if work will allow. (Trigon)
8M run at lunch on a beautiful day...56 degrees, sunny, light breeze. 1.5M easy with Pat B (he is tapering for the Pocatello 50M Trail run relay), then picked it up to MP for the remaining 6.5M (between 6:05 - 6:19). Average overall pace of 6:21 which felt really easy. I didn't want to go back to work! (Ride) |

I slept in this morning (til 5:30am) then got up to get some fuel in before the long run today. Got some stuff done on the camp trailer (for camping this weekend, only our second time using it since we bought it last fall!), got the kids off to school then started the run.
Ran 1.4M to Community Park to meet Jon. Then we took off down Sunnyside, through Snake River landing to the greenbelt to Freeman Park then worked our way home. Stopped a few times for bathroom breaks, water, fuel. Overall a good run at a pretty easy pace (neither of us was up to speed today) with some great conversation about many current topics (family, runnning, FRB, Ultra's, etc.). About 15.5M with Jon then turned around and went home our separate ways. Overall 18.5M in 2:13.
Now off to camping with friends for the next 2 days! |

Slept in for the morning in the camper. Man, this is going to be fun! The campground was packed but it was actually really quiet.
Started out with Steve and Amy and quickly left them for my own pace. I ran 5M on the rolling hills around Lava Hot Springs on a beautiful sunny and warm day. It was quite fun being on hills instead of the flats of IF.
1.5M running around later in the day back and forth from camp for various reasons (forgotten ID, catching up with family, etc.). We floated the Portneuf River, swam and did the slides at the big pool (interrupted by a severe rain and hail storm), sat in the hot pools, made a great steak dinner, campfire with s'mores, etc. A pretty great day! |
