Got up this morning and had a wonderful devotion with my wife. It talked about how we can't let things get in the way of us reaching God. Also that only true love for your spouse has to come from God in order for marriage or a relationship to work. Love just can't come from you if you don't have God because it's not enough. I ran 11.2 miles today at an overall 6:54 pace int 1:17. I did a tinman tempo today in the last four miles of the run. Mile 1: 6:16 ( coming off bench road and it's all downhill mile). I took it easy not really pushing. Mile 2: 6:25 (completely flat on Hiline Rd. Took it easy and I felt good). Mile 3: 6:16 (completely flat and the pace was comfortable. It really wasn't a hard effort). Mile 4: 6:17 (completely flat and endurance, form and stride rate all felt comfortable and not hard). Did a 6:44 cool-down mile afterwards on the last mile to my house. I'm not going to run the Salt Lake Marathon or maybe even the Ogden Marathon this year. I don't want to spend a lot of money traveling. Not sure what I will do this year. I like running these but I'm in the conserve money mode this year. Sometimes you have to hold back and show wisdom and not do the worldly things you like to do.
