Psalm 91:1 NKJV He who dwells in the secret place

Rest.  Stayed up late the night before excited about the Cowboys winning.  I've made my whole entertainment room into a Cowboys theme so I better like them when they win or lose and I do.  They have a tough game next we, but it's good to see them/Romo mature, and win a playoff game.   I hope they can keep rolling.

 Very awesome Church Service today.  My Sister-in-law preached for the first time, and what a spiritual blessing.  I preached regularly at our church in the pass until I let running control my life, but I'm getting back to that spiritual place again.

Ran 12.11 miles today at an overall 7:11 pace in 1:27:06.  I ran 10 of the miles with Barry.  The temperature was 15 degrees or something like that.  It was a heat wave and that was nice compared to the last few runs.

Ran 9.20 miles at an overall 6:30 pace in 58.39 today. I ran with Barry the first couple miles than picked the pace up to get back to take my daughter to school (6:20, 6:09, 6:07, 6:22, 6:39, 6:42). Good run for running faster outside in 14 degree weather.

My daughter goes to her first team's soccer practice tonight after getting her boot off on January 4th. She's been running on it and it's a little sore. Doctor doesn't want her scrimmaging for at least a couple more weeks. She has an excellent coach who will know how to bring her back slowly.

Evening  

Ran a bit with my daughter at her soccer practice to keep her company while the rest of the team scrimmaged.  She's not allowed to scrimmage yet.  She was pretty sore after practice, but we expected that.

Ran 10 easy miles with Barry on a nice 23 degrees day.  Then I ran three on my own totaling 13.12 miles in 1:38:58.  Nothing fast just a good easy run.

Ran a hilly route up Satterfield Rd. and side streets with Barry today in 33 degree weather.  I ran 4 extra miles after Barry and I split our ways. 

On the second to last mile a dog collided with me causing me to fall backwards on the pavement.  I could feel blood streaming down my elbow when I got up and I started to run and the right hip was hurting along with my upper right side by the ribs.  Nothing is broke but sore.  The dog was following me for a mile right behind on the street.  I had to slow down for a car on the street to get to the other side and when I slowed down the dog collided right into my back side.  Apparently he didn't want to slow down.  This knocked me backwards smashing the back of my head on the pavement.  I landed on the elbow and hip.  Amazingly the head is fine but the elbow is cut-up in meat slices.

Totals 14.04 miles at an overall 7:06 pace in 1:39. 

Ran 10 miles with Barry up around ISU Campus and then back on Main St was the main part of the run .  Then I ran 4 more after we split close to his house.

Total 14.3 miles in 7:05 miles at 1:40:50.   Don't really care about running fast anymore, because I'm not training for any races.

Ran with Barry today down Pocatello Creek Rd. for 6 Miles. Then we turned on Jefferson and turned on Oak and back to my house.  I've got over 9 hours of sleep the last few nights and that has really given me some productive energy.  Splits (6:14, 6:08, 6:07, 6:12, 6:18, 6:05, 5:58 on the hardest mile, 6:11, 6:15, cooldown 6:37, 7:03)  Finished at 12.3 at an overall 6:22 pace in 1:17.  

 Good run and my hamstring is a little sore.  Probably from the fall with the dog earlier this week..  I'm still pretty cut-up on my back and elbow from the fall and still ache in certain places.  I've never been an accident prone person my hold life, but it sure does seem like I've been since I started running again.
