Personal:
I run with God. I use my running time to contemplate, to pray and to listen for His call. I'm married to a non-runner, but a supportive one, and we have four children.
This guy was out at the Knights of Columbus yesterday. Weird. Charlotte did not like him very much. I don't watch Duck Dynasty, but he was very gracious in letting a whole bunch of strangers take pics with him. And he gave some autographs. Then later I ran a fast 3 miles in the dark. I don't love running in the later night, but I stuck to my neighborhood.
These miles were on the faster side. It was cooler and it was dark. Both those things tend to spur me to speed. 8:34 AP.
Just found out that my bro took second place in what he called the fat man's division (probably Clysdale) at a half last week. He ran it in 1:41, which is two minutes faster than the half we did together in April. I think that means my next year's goal will be sub 1:40.
It was pretty cool this morning, which is always awesome. I think it was in the 50s, but I'm just basing that on the fact the when I went to Champaign for an appointment, my car said 60 degrees. This allowed for a nice feeling 8:40 AP. my last mile was 8:05, and that felt pretty good.
