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: |

6M this morning in cold weather once again...37 degrees and wind (at least no rain this time, but it was threatening). Just nice and easy. Now that I am home, this week I will do more up tempo runs at lunch per my norml routine.
Try to get a couple of honey-do's done around the house with my father in law while he is here. Got the Basketball poll installed in cement, but we hit the sprinkler pipe and had to do a repair on it as well.

Easy 7M run early this morning...back to the 4am runs. Easy progression run from a 7:40 warmup mile to the last 2M at 6:40ish pace. Good run on a nice morning...weather tomorrow is supposed to stink again.
total time: 50:00 (Trigon - 295 miles)
6M at lunch time on a windy and cloudy but warmer day. Not a very good run...left hammy was twinging, right hip was creaky and my stomach was sloshing for the last couple of miles. Got it in and a bit faster than this morning, but not quite the run I was looking for.

A weird morning for motivation for the run. Hit the snooze button about 3 times before getting up a bit later than planned, then checked the weather outside to find very gusty wind and rain (but a balmy 52 degrees!) and almost went back to bed. Got dressed and went outside to start the run and was hit with a downpour...thought about it and decided to head to the gym for a TM run. So I changed clothes and started driving to the gym (not enthusiastically) and noticed the rain had settled down and then I saw a guy out walking and determined that if he can walk, I can run. So, back home to change back into outside clothes (jacket and cap) and out I went for a now planned 5M. As I was heading back from my 5M turnaround point, decided the weather wasn't that bad (in fact I overdressed) and plodded on for an extra mile. As I hit my house at 6M, I further decided that I was being a wimp and went for 1 more mile around my neighborhood to finish off a 7M early morning run. So, I went from almost not running to running 2M more than planned when I started.

5.25M at lunch in 35 mph winds, not fun. Sunny and relatively warm. Ran for a while with Dan S. Last 1.25M ran at a 6:20 pace to end the run which felt good.

4M early this morning in cold, windy and wet conditions. It was only 36 degrees with a stiff breeze and I encountered rain, hail and snow during a 4M run! This is June, what is going on? As I was driving to work, I had to go through a snow storm...argh!
total time: 30:25 (T2 - 520 miles)
4M run at lunch in the very strong wind. First 2M mostly with the wind and good MP splits (5:59, 6:03) then the 2M back were against a 32mph headwind (6:28, 7:05) which was not fun. At least the temp was decent.

Pretty standard 6M early really easy run in cool temps and a pretty good breeze...nothing exciting just miles.
total time: 46:00 (T2 - 526 miles)
6M MP run around the greenbelt with a 0.25M cooldown on a nicer day (slight wind but not bad). Decent splits: 1- 6:19,2- 6:15,3- 6:18;4- 6:12,5- 6:01,6- 6:05, 0.25M - 1:38. Hit 6M at 37:10 and may last 2M were my fastest and included the most uphill. Right quads is a bit twingy after the run, but not bad.

After a horrible night of sleep (only about 4 hours of real sleep), I got up to a nice morning...cool, but NO WIND!! A decent early morning run with slow warmup mile (7:42) then progressing to a 6:40ish pace for the last 3.5M. It is supposed to be a great day so I will go long at lunch to enjoy the weather.
total time: 46:10 (T2 - 532 miles)
Nice day at lunch time so I went a bit longer and got in a 8.1M run. First mile warmup with Dan S these a mile at about 6:29 to ease into MP. The next 5M were at MP ranging from 6:18 to a 6:08. Last 1.1M at a ease 6:55 pace. Overall a really good run, but I have a bit of a twing in my left hammy and right quad. Plan to stretch today to help loosen things up.

9.25M early on this beautiful morning...what a day 45 degrees, no wind and a beautiful sunrise. Ran over to Community park to see if anyone would show up for the group run...no one! I even got a cool raffle prize from the RD of the Pocatello marathon: for ever IF group run you show up for between now and July 26, you get 1 entry into raffle for a free entry in the race of your choice at Poky on August 30.
I stopped short of my planned 10M as right achilles started really twinging hard about 8.5M, and at 9M in knew I just needed to stop so I headed home via a shortcut.
Had a weird animal encounter this morning...I was running along Sunnyside and all of a sudden 4 small black birds start pacing me while chirping away. Suddenly, they start diving at me and swooping right by my head! They followed me for about 1/4 mile before stopping.
Yard work this afternoon and some play time with the kids. Took them to see "Nims Island" last night, cute family movie.
