Wow...what a perfect day for running. After two days off I was ready to run :-) I would like to be running longer but I know I shouldn't. I guess I was so excited I completly forgot my HR monitor. At mile 3 I though "man, I'm feeling pretty good" and looked to see what my HR was and then realized I didn't have the monitor on. These 10 miles felt really good. I didn't struggle at all and walked off, at the end of the run, with my legs still feeling good. I would like to have the HR readings but I'll take the "good" feeling and log it as a moderate effort :-)

Two weeks and I will run the Chosen "half" Marathon for Adoption. I'm hoping to run as fast or faster than I did last year.  It's hard to tell where my conditioning is compared to last year as I wasn't running consistant last year and most of the miles were on the treadmill. Total milage per week was only about 30.

Here's today's run:

James 1:20

For the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

I got my bike back from the shop a couple of days ago. My legs were a little tired from running so I decided to bike today. I haven't biked in about 3 weeks. The effort seemed a little hard for the speed.

Deuteronomy 25:11-12
If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity

Oops...Friday I blogged that I was running a 5K today, but I looked at the calendar worng. The race is next Saturday (10/20).

John 3:1-36

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. ...
