Personal:

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Heb 12:11

I set out for a shorter long run this morning since I did 15 last Sunday. I tried again to slow my pace for the longer distance, but as I was listening to the book of Acts my thoughts would drift from running and my pace would creep down towards the low 7's. This is not really an "easy" pace although I do like the feeling I get at that level of effort :)

Not much sleep last night and I started so late that I didn't have time to blog before going to work. I really didn't put a whole lot of effort into this run and didn't even want to look at my watch until I finished so my splits were a nice surprise. I finished the book of Acts for the second time today, not sure what I'll listen to next. I should probably just run my way through the whole NT in order over the next few weeks.

Funny story, well at least to me it is: Today one of the security guards at work said he sees me running almost every morning while he's driving in and asks me how far I run (He's standing outside in the rain smoking a cigarette when he asks me this). I told him 8 miles on my short days and 10-15 on the weekends. His reply was "That's just stupid! Why in the world would you want to do that?" I told him that I smoked for 13 years before I started running and it probably caused some brain damage :)

My son came along with me on his bike today, but he got bored and left me for the library after 4 miles. The hill on mile 2 and 6 seemed a lot easier today.
