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 morning for a run...42 degrees, calm and sunny. I took Moxie out for 7 miles through SRL then dropped her off and finished off another 3 miles solo. 10 miles in 1:09:15. Started a bit slow then started picking it up, running some segments sub-6:00 pace. Overall threw in about 2 miles of MP or better during the run. Felt easy and controlled, though the hips are still a bit sore. (ride)
2 miles with Justin for his track practice in 17:00!! (Vibram)

4:30am...standard easy 6 miles with Moxie down Sunnyside. (Ride)
A beautiful day at lunch for a run...70 degrees, sunny, light breeze. 1 mile wu (7:04), 5 miles of MP (6:18, 6:01, 6:07, 6:11, 6:02 ), 2 miles of cd (6:53, 7:00). 8 miles in 51:35 (6:27 avg). Felt very easy throughout and the front side mechanics are feeling more instinctive. (Kinvara) |

4:30am....6 easy miles with Moxie on a warm and windy morning. Only run for today due to a busy work schedule and a church meeting tonight. Bit miffed about finding out the RD from last weekend's race is talking bad about me...oh well, his issue not mine!
Probably good that I do only this one run as I can a feel a bit of a twing in my right groin. (Ride) |

I slept in and went to the track a bit later this morning (5:30am) to do some speedwork with Gray and the running group from the store...but went to the wrong track! Taking today off to help at the 6th grade track meet which is why this was even an option today, and we miscommunicated so I did most of my speedwork solo.
1 mile wu, then into 5x1 mile intervals. First was a bit tough as I needed a pitstop but the convenience store on the corner did not open until 6am, so I did one interval then ran to the store. Splits: 5:36, 5:33, 5:36, 5:39, 5:38. Right quad and groin got a bit twingy on the 3rd and 4th interval. Wind started to pick up a lot on the 4th interval (home stretch was tough). Overall with cooldown 8 miles in 50:29 (6:19 average).
Drove to the other HS track to find the group. They were doing 600m repeats, so I jumped in for 2 intervals: 1:51 (4:59), 1:58 (5:15 into wind on backstretch twice). Ran a total of 1.05 miles in 5:45 then had to get home to help get kids off to school. (Kinvara)
Overall 9.05 miles this morning in 56:15 (6:14 average).
Justin ran a 40 sec 200m (into the wind and after a horrible start) and his 4x100m team took third! He also jumped 8 feet 4 inches in the long jump, I am proud of him!
After the trackmeet and before the kids got home for school, I took Moxie out for a 4 mile recovery run in the wind...29:25. (Cortana) |

Normal slow easy and early 6 miles with Moxie on a cool but calm morning. (Ride)
5 miles on a cool windy day at lunch in 32:53 (6:34 avg). Short due to limited time. (Cortana) |

4:45am...I didn't want to get up this morning as I was tired, it was cold and windy outside. This run was for Moxie who urged me to get up and take her out. After getting out, it wasn't so bad (warmer than I thought, wind not too bad). 6 untimed easy miles, thanks Moxie! (Ride)
7 miles in 47 minutes (6:42 avg) on a kinda dreary day at lunch. Windy but warm (overdressed) but overcast and a storm is a brewin'. Easy wu, sped up for the middle miles (6:48, 6:40, 6:40, 6:34, 6:34) then a 1 mile cooldown. (Cortana) |

Met up with Craig this morning for a long hard run. We ran about 18 miles together, and I had a bit more on both ends for 19 miles in 2:07 for a 6:50 overall average. First 6 miles were easy (8:00 wu, 6:55 average through 6). Starting around mile 7 we starting pushing harder (6:45 - 6:30) through mile 12. Miles 13-15 were a breather (7:00ish), then pushed 16-18 (6:35,6:26, 6:23) then a cool down mile at 6:51. Overall a great run on a cool, wind and overcast morning.
Saw LOTS of other runners out including Andrea, McKay, Lynette, Deborah, Shan, Shelley, Leslie, Brock, Corwin, etc. At least 30 runners out this morning! Shortly after we finished, it started pouring rain...glad we went early! Thanks for a great run Craig! |
