Monday report.....Uh, nothing to say. :-( 

Well I do think I'm going to get up and walk a little in the morning and do a little stretching. I'm really not supposed to do "anything" per the doctor's orders. I'm going to take it real easy!

Hebrews 13:17 

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

Walked today!!!! 3 miles with a few little spurts of jogging. I'm really not supposed to be doing anything but I can't take it any longer, I'm going crazy! The walking seems fine. My shoulder and collarbone are just stiff and tight. The jogging jarred and irritated it a little but not too bad. I'm planning to continue this routine for a while if it doesn't irritate the collarbone.

 2 Corinthians 5:7 

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Ouch....Not my shoulder but my legs. I can't believe my legs were so sore this morning after just walking 3 miles yesterday (I did jog just a little). I woke up this morning and felt like I had run 20 miles yesterday. :-(

I went ahead and went out for another walk/jog this morning. I did the 3.25 miles in 36:25 which I think is about 11 minute pace overall. I'm hoping in a couple more days I'll get my legs back and they won't be so sore. It amazing how quickly you loose your conditioning.

The walking doesn't hurt the shoulder but the jogging is a little uncomfortable.

 

 Luke 14:13-14

But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”

Okay, I actually ran today. I made a big mistake though as I told my wife the weather was not too bad outside for "running" this morning. She immediately picked up on it and said "DID YOU RUN?" I'm in trouble!

I'm out of shape but it felt good!

Proverbs 8:1-36 

Does not wisdom call? Does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand; beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud: “To you, O men, I call, and my cry is to the children of man. O simple ones, learn prudence; O fools, learn sense. ...
