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: |

10K in 50 minutes on a nice morning. Ran 5 miles with Curt and had some good conversation, always makes the run go by fast. Thanks for the company, Curt! I went back out for another easy 4.1 miles in 31:20 because the day was nice and I just felt like it.
This run takes me over 3000 miles for the year, 5 days faster than last year...maybe that is why I am so tired!
We had a great surprise birthday party for our friend Deborah at our house last night with folks from the running group, good times! Now for a day at church and cleaning up the house as we get ready to host 3 kids from the African Children's Choir that is singing at our church tonight. It should be a good cultural experience for all of us to have these kids stay with us for 3 days.

We got our visitors (3 children and a chaperone) from the African Children's Choir tucked in last night and I didn't want to make too much noise to wake them this morning so I headed to the gym (also, rainy and 37 degrees outside was not welcoming). I ran 6x0.5M intervals with 1/4 -1/2 recovery after a one mile warmup. Interval pace: 5:45, 5:30, 5:15, 5:00, 4:45, 5:30. Then finished with 2 miles at slow MP to finish 8 miles in just over 50 minutes. A good run on the TM, but hot once again. (Launch)
I will try to get a run in at lunch on a now beautiful day after getting the kid's off to their schooling for the day. 4.7 miles on a great day for a run around the greenbelt. Extremely slow just for recovery and to get out of the dark hole I call my office on this nice day! (Tangent 1) |

| I was very tired and sore this morning and nearly didn't get up. My lower back and gut were causing issues again today but I managed to get to the gym for an easy TM workout. 10K in just over 40 minutes. Left hip and right foot also were twingy...I am just getting old and creaky! Helped Deborah work on her form while I was there to help her be lighter and quicker in her step and find a form that will impact her hip and back less. |

| No run this morning. I woke up very sore in my hips and lower back...feeling very old and creaky. So, I decided I needed rest more than the run. Try for a run at lunchtime. Our visitors from Uganda left today, sad day. Goodbye to Brivett, Joshua, Timothy and Uncle Robbie. We are happy that we are going to sponsor Brivett and Joshua for their education. 10K around the river on a cloudy and cool day (perfect running weather!) in 39:55. First 5K at good MP (18:40), then the last 5K was fast easy pace due to back starting to act up. A good run on a great day! (tangent 1) |

| 6 miles easy with Moxie on a cool and calm morning. Really tired after a late night last night (church meeting, venting and calming down after meeting) but got up and out the door. Besides being cool (32 degrees) is was a nice morning to be out running. (TSD5) I am a mess...gut issues again, left hammy really tight, shoulders tight from stress (work/church), but I decided to run the course from yesterday's district XC meet at Freeman Park anyway. 1 mile warmup and a bit of stretching then I hit it. A good first mile (5:48), then my gut and hammy started talking loudy and made the remainder a bit slower (6:12, 6:13, 55) for 3.15 miles in 19:10. 2.4 miles cooldown and to enjoy the wonderful weather for a total of 6.5 miles in the park today. (Tangent 1) Results from yesterday's meet compared to my time: 5A winner was an easy 16:03, Trevor (young guy I have been working a bit with), 2nd in 17:02. My time would have placed me 23rd in 5A and 30th in 4A...crap! I guess I am 2.5 times their age, so that must count for something. |

I slept in and didn't get out the door until just after 6:00am. I ran 6 miles with Moxie in 43:30 for a faster early morning run on a warm (40 degrees) and calm morning...perfect for a run. My hips were sore when I woke up, but they didn't really bother me during the run. Bummed that I am not with Rob and Steve heading to the Grand Canyon for the R2R2R, but my stomach issues and lack of recovery from St. George just didn't make it possible. Now for day off with Kami and doing some running around and school activities Saw the Dr. today about my GI issues and he doesn't think it is anything serious just some issues with hydration and processing common to runners. He did give me a Rx for some anti-cramping meds to try before some of my upcoming runs to see if it helps. I was going to go for a run after the kid's school but instead got waylaid with some church issues that kept me from running. I need to run now even more after these discussions. Got them in...4 miles in 27:10. Got yelled out once and nearly hit by a car turning right without looking left...I hate running on Sunnyside during the day! Now off to have a few drinks with friends to blow off some steam...at least I am not allergic to beer (honest, the doc said so!).

Got out at 6:30 this morning with a bit of a hangover from our social time with friends last night at Idaho Brewing Co. Met Deborah, Sarah and Craig for the run and did a 5.5 mile loop through SRL at a good pace. Deborah went home and Sarah continued on at slower pace down Sunnyside while Craig and I did another SRL loop (to Broadway). A great run with good friends (saw Marlin out too!)...thanks for the company and good conversation. Finished off back home for a 13.1 mile run in 1:37. By the end of the run, however, my GI issues were coming back so I am glad I stopped by home.
Checked on Kami (hungover pretty bad) and the kids then took Moxie back out for an easy 5K. My right ankle was getting a bit sore by the end of this run too.
Now for a day doing some chores around the house.
