Nice run! How did the move go? Looking forward to the new call? How is the family liking the change of scenery? Praying that the adjustment goes well for you and both congregations.

Jeff,

Thanks! The new move is going well. We viewed the role in our last church as "renewal" ministry, kind of like being missionaries in New England. Sounds strange, but a lot of the churches there lack a biblical grounding. After 8 years of planting seeds that will hopefully sprout, we feel called to a much more grounded environment (especially for our girls). There is an electricity in the air and we are excited about this new opportunity (First Pres. of Mooresville, NC). Thanks for you prayers...someday I hope to cross paths in person. Love the way you live out your faith and are "running the race." Blessings! Dave

1 mile warm-up and then decided to run 3 miles firm.  It took longer than expected in mile one to get the legs moving- I was at a 7:01 pace at .27 miles and then really tried to pick it up.  Completed mile 1 in 6:34.  Tried to maintain the leg turnover without killing myself in mile 2 and was able to manage a 6:27.  Began mile three on an uphill slant and really began to pump the legs.  I was surprised at my remaining energy level, so just kept it firm as long as possible to close mile 3 in 6:16.  Really satisfied with the effort.  Ran another 3 miles home for a total of 7 miles.

Ran 1.25 warm-up and then headed out toward the point.  Did 5-miles (7:49,7:48,7:50;7:49;7:47) and then stopped to stretch.  Ran back (tired legs) with strong conviction to keep the legs churning and did another 5-miles firm (7:57,7:53,7:47,7:34,6:59).  A little deceptive because I stopped a streetlights a couple times and stretched, yet still felt good about the effort.  Jogged the last 1.25 for 12.5 total.

Ran a local 5k.  I'm certainly not in race shape, yet it was a good jump-start to my system.  Started too fast- mile 1 in 6min.  Paid for it throughout the rest of the race- mile 2 in 6:40 and saw a 6:57 pace part way through mile three.  Still happy to get a strong run in and placed 8th overall, 1st in age division on a fairly challenging course.

Ran a frustrating road race, but will just treat it as a training run.  There was a night time 5k/10k race that was close to home and had the distance I was looking for.  Was a little nervous when my name was not with the 10k folks...they were cooperative and switched me from 5k to 10k without trouble.  Then when I began asking volunteers about the course, I was receiving mixed reponse on questions as simple as where's the starting line.  When I saw a few serious runners with headlamps, I realized maybe I could get lost on the course.  An organizer assured me that there would be like 75 volunteers in place that would make it impossible to get lost.  Lined up and felt it would be important to stick with a group who seemed to know where they were going.

First 5k went fairly smoothly...my watch said 6:22 for mile 1 and 6:32 for mile 2...the neighborhoods were dark, volunteers were definitely alongside the course, and I stuck with a group of 4 that seemed near my age.  As we reached the 3-mile marker, all 4 runners that I was with peeled to the right to finish a 5k...I was told to go straight around the buses.  As I rounded the buses, someone yelled for me to turn back, I had gone too far...I quickly got back on course and started loop 2 on the same 5k course.  From this point to the end, I never saw another 10k runner.

On my second loop, I noticed at each turning point there were volunteers on both sides of the road, so I'd yell "10ker!" and they'd all wave and then I'd go "Right or left" and would have to pause to hear a response before turning.  After a mile and a half of this, I caught the 5k stragglers and would have to work hard (in the dark) to get the attention of "course guides" to tell me which way to turn.  Got off track maybe 3-4 times and then notice my watch beep 6 miles well before the finish line.  Was shocked to see my time at 43:56, but then looked down to see that my watch said 6:45 miles.  Not sure what my splits were after mile 2, but I felt I was keeping 6:35-40 pace and then just slowing down at each corner to figure out where to go next.  I've plugged 6:45 into the running calculator to get a better since of pace for the sake of adding to my training log.  Was also surprised to find out I was 4th overall.  Probably alot more "fun run" type people who really enjoyed the race, so tried to keep it positive and will probably not return.  At least I got a good training run in.

My 15-year-old made huge progress over the past year and has now hit a plateau.  She was at the verge of breaking 21 minutes for a 5k in September and now is struggling to break 23 minutes.  Her base is real strong- ran 10 miles @ 7:45 pace a couple week ago.  So this week I've been doing workout with her to get the leg turnover going.

Ran 1-mile warm-up with her and then did 400 x 20 at the track- all between 95 and 99 seconds- did the 2nd 10 faster than the 1st 10- her 19th was the 2nd fastest of all 20 laps.  Jogged home for 12.25 miles total.
