Daniel 5:19-21

19 Because of the high position he gave him, all the nations and peoples of every language dreaded and feared him. Those the king wanted to put to death, he put to death; those he wanted to spare, he spared; those he wanted to promote, he promoted; and those he wanted to humble, he humbled. 20 But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory. 21 He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like the ox; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and sets over them anyone he wishes.

I'm on my phone and for some reason I can't post comments when I enter my miles this way. I'll have to add all the details later. 10 miles - 7:34 avg pace. Good run but my HR is too high for this speed. I need a bigger heart!

From Dave S on Fri, Jul 01, 2011 at 15:17:40 from 4.253.99.86

I'd say your heart must be plenty big for you to travel that far to help the folks in Joplin!

Nice pace for 10 miles.

What were you talking about, you kicked my butt today! Great pace. Glad you can get in some running on vacation.

From I Just Run on Fri, Jul 01, 2011 at 16:48:29 from 166.137.141.78

Ha ha...I've got to get to the end with some fuel in my tank. I'm really pressing my upper end HR at the end of these type runs. Thanks for the encouragement!

From Steam8 on Fri, Jul 01, 2011 at 18:31:54 from 166.70.55.77

SERIOUSLY! 10 at a 7:30 pace. I don't want to even ready your posts anymore You are irritating me! I am pathetic!!! :(

From I Just Run on Fri, Jul 01, 2011 at 19:40:53 from 166.137.143.32

Sorry Steam. :-(

From Dan on Fri, Jul 01, 2011 at 22:15:35 from 24.209.83.20

Nice 10 miler for sure!

From SlowJoe on Sat, Jul 02, 2011 at 10:46:15 from 75.109.104.60

Don't run a marathon in July. Problem solved.

From JG on Sat, Jul 02, 2011 at 12:10:05 from 74.176.220.217

7:34 pace for 10 in July is awesome, wouldn't worry about HR too much! Cooler weather in September will be a diff't story, not too mention if you slowed down 10 seconds per mile you would still be running a 3:23:00 pace! Miles 8 & 9, you were running a 3:13:00 pace, no wonder your hear rate jumped up! Good job!!

From I Just Run on Sat, Jul 02, 2011 at 20:12:29 from 173.24.140.194

Hey JG,

3:13 would be great! Just think if I were there I could be thinking about breaking 3:00 ;-} I like running faster!
