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: |

| I slept in this morning (after 9.5 hours of sleep...that never happens!). After church, we did some yardwork including cleaning out my shed to put summer stuff away and finding 4 mice! 6 miles in the late afternoon in perfect running weather. Easy run as I was still a bit stiff and my right foot was still hurting a bit, hoping it goes away soon and is nothing.

Day off for Columbus Day! I slept in and went out after dropping off the kid's and getting started on more household chores.
11.2 miles in 1:25ish down through SRL to Broadway and back on a cool but nice morning for a run...Moxie's longest run to date. I had an AH driver yell at me again today (one yesterday too) for running on the edge of a 4 lane divided road with no other traffic and he didn't feel like moving over!

I wimped out this morning and hit the gym. The weather outside wasn't bad (46 degrees, windy, light rain) but I had determined last night I was going to the gym based for a speed workout and stuck to my plan.
1 mile warmup (7:00 pace), 1 mile transition (6:30), then into some progression from 6:22 to 5:30 pace (6:22, 6:11, 6:00, 5:52, 5:46, 5:36, 5:30) for the next 7 miles with a cooldown mile at the end (6:00) to finish 10 miles in 60:40 (6:04 avg.) for the run. It felt really easy running on the TM but it was hot. My legs held up good, but my left calf is a bit tight. |

4:30am...7.25 easy miles with Moxie in cool (37 degrees) but mostly calm weather. Everything was sore and stiff this morning...left hammy and calf, right foot was achy. Not a good sign nor a particularly good run but needed to get Moxie out more than me to keep her happy and fit. It was a beautiful day and I was looking forward to a run at lunch, but during a meeting my stomach intestinal track started hurting and within an hour my gut was cramping so bad I had to leave work. The 1.5 hour drive home was excrutiating and when I got home I barely made it to the couch doubled up in pain. After trying to rest and lay down I started to feel better after a few hours but there is still some pain in my gut. I hope that it is just a bad case of food poisoning from something I ate and not a more serious issue (4 of my marathons this year I have had gut issues). I spent the rest of day just trying to be still and rest. I promise Kami that I would make an appointment to have this checked out.

No early morning run to let my gut settle down, it is still a bit touchy. We will see about a light run at lunch if possible.
5.2 easy miles in 37:50 around the greenbelt at lunch on a cooler and cloudy day. Legs still fatigued and while better, my guts was still not 100%. (Tangent 1) 5 miles in 37:40 around the greenbelt while my son was at TaeKwando. (TSD5)

4:20am...6.35 miles with Moxie on a beautiful morning for a run, 47 degrees and no wind. I wish my run was as nice as the morning...painful (and painfully slow) run today as my left hammy, right foot and gut were all not feeling good for this one. (Mirage)
6 miles on a gorgeous day at lunch at a 7:29 avg. pace. I ran easy with DanS for the first 5 miles having fun running with him for the first time in quite a while...great run for the company. I picked it up for the last mile a bit which felt good, right foot is still twingy though. (Tangent 1)

A great morning for a run! I took Moxie out for 2 miles before meeting the group for a longer run. Met up with Andrea, Curt, Lynette, McKay, Marlin and Trevor for a big group! Trevor and I took off to the front and we ran about 5 miles averaging around a 6:30 pace talking about his XC season, upcoming regional and state meets, running form, focus, etc. He is a great runner, just needs some good coaching to help him over the hump of the races. At about 8 miles into my run after a loop through SRL, Andrea, Curt and Trevor had to go. The rest of us went back out for another easy loop through SRL. I ended up with 14 miles in 1:41:53 for a good 7:16 average for the morning. Today is one year to the day that we got Moxie and she has been a great addition to our family and as a running partner...over 950 miles of running with me!
