| I had to break this into two runs today. I didn't want to get up early enough to run it all. I went with our church group to serve and minister to the homeless in Austin at an event called Church under the bridge.
It was very windy during both runs. Can you tell where I was running with the wind? :-)
7:23 avg pace on the first 7 mile run (respectable) and 8:06 on the second 7 mile run (faster than I really planned).

| Target: This was supposed to be recovery pace but with the wind it was didn't seem like it. |
And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.

| Today was a perfect morning to run. The weather was 42 degrees, low dew point and a full moon to run by. I wish I could have enjoyed it more but I think I'm getting a little mentally tired again. I find myself dreading the run and while I'm running continuing to think about how tired I am. I know I'm not really tired because as soon as I finish running I feel like I haven't run at all. Oh well...mental tricks, I just need to keep pushing for another couple of weeks and then I think the Boston high will kick in and I'll get excited again.
I left my Garmin at work so I only had my Iron Man watch so no splits or HR on this run.
10 Miles @ 8:03 Pace (1:20:33). I started out pretty slow and picked it up after about half way through the run.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

| A windy morning here in central Texas. Winds about 25 mph. My Garmin was dead so I had to use my trusty Iron Man watch again. No splits as it's not a GPS but I did run the usual 15 miles I've been running so I know the exact distance. This run was not spectacular...not good..not really even fair. I just ran with no intent. As usual it felt harder than I thought it should but who really know how hard it really was as my mind is playing games with me right now.
15 @ 8:05 Pace (Probably would have been below 8:00 but I had to stop and throw rocks at a couple of dogs that kept chasing me and acting like they were going to bite.)
55 Degrees - 76% Humidity - 49 Degree Dew Point - 154 Starting Weight
Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?”

| My legs felt good this morning and the weather was great so I decided to sandwitch a tempo run between some slower miles. The first mile of the Tempo Run is mostly up hill (about 65') and this was an out and back run so the last mile of the Tempo was mostly down hill. The rest of the run is rolling hills so overall elevation 0.
I stopped to reset my watch before and after the Tempo Run. I think the Tempo part loosened up my legs, they felt better for the last 2.5 than they did for the first 2.5.

Psalm 121:1-2
I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.
