Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord;
hear my urgent cry.
I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me. - Psalm 86:1-7 Favorite Blogs: |

4:30am...7 easy miles with Moxie on a nice morning for a run, 40 degrees and calm. Right foot was twingy by the end so this is still just hanging on as an annoyance, no serious just bothersome. (TSD5)
5.6 miles on a cool and windy day at lunch. I ran easy with Pat and just talked the whole time. My right hip was (and still is) a bit sore and stiff. No watch...my Garmin indicated it was fully charged yesterday after my run but was total dead when I started today, what gives with this model? I like the unit, but really don't like the charge interface and battery life that much. (Tangent 1)
Only single runs the next few days due to work conflicts so my mileage will likely decrease this week, probably not a bad thing.
Also, if you have the chance check out the African Children's choir during the tour through SE Idaho and Utah:

| Went to bed last night with the thought that this morning would be cold and windy...it wasn't too bad but I had already had it in my head to hit the gym instead of outside. Plus, my right hip and foot were both really sore so I wanted to run where I could stop if needed. The gym was really hot (remodeling so they had the doors open which kicked the heat on!) and the fans were not on! 10K in 39:40 for a 6:24ish average pace. 2 miles easy then 4 mile progression to 5:45ish pace. Foot and hip really hurt the first 2 miles then calmed down a bit (but are now more noticeable!). When I would take a drink of water, my stomach would flip flop so I decided to stop after 10K before I vomited. Busy day at work, no lunch run...good thing based on how I am feeling.

No run today. After a long day of meetings yesterday (work from 7:00am to 5:00pm, church from 7:00pm to 10:00pm) I am exhausted. In addition, my son woke up at 11:00pm with an earache for which my wife took him to the readicare facility and returned at ???. So I slept in! I also feel the beginnings of a cold coming on and my hip still hurts.
Lots of reasons, but the bottom line...a rest day.
I did a quick look back on my running log since partial (2000) and then detailed tracking (2005) started. I calculate that by the end of January 2012 I will have run the circumference of the Earth (at the equator, it is 24,901 miles). I am just over 24,000 "lifetime" miles now. Pretty cool milestone, I think.

4:30am...7 easy untimed miles with Moxie just trying to get my mojo back. I just passed 3100 miles for the year and Moxie is less than a mile from 1,000 since joining our family!(TSD5)
4.5 miles around the greenbelt at lunch on a nice but kinda cool day, 31 minutes exactly for just under a 7 minute mile. Just a good run to get outside and enjoy running. (Tangent 1)
Spent a great evening yesterday in Pocatello at Grace Lutheran Church seeing the African Children's Choir again. We had a chance to see the boys again and say happy birthday to the adult chaperone who stayed with us last week. They are truly inspirational! We also got to see Kory and his family at the event and catch up, it was great being around such positive people and a real boost to our spirits!
I was invited to talk to the Idaho Falls High School Cross Country team at a team dinner before they leave for the state meet tomorrow in Boise. What an honor to chat with these great kids to motivate them to have fun, do their best and reach their goals on Saturday. I love talking about running to others and getting them excited, to embrace that "running is a passion of the spirit." |

I had a massage last night that seems to have worked wonders! I had my best run this morning since St. George...on the TM at the gym (it was 19 degrees at my house, not ready for that yet) but it felt great. Got up with bit of a stiff back and stomach ache, but when I got on the TM everything was great.
An easy 1 mile warmup then into a 10K at goal MP or better. I hit the 10K mark at 36:20 (5:51 average) and it felt easy and effortless! Next 0.8 mile was an easy 7ish pace, then another final mile at slow MP (6:15ish). Overall 9 miles in 55:40 for an average 6:11 pace. That felt really good this morning...pretty jazzed to have some mojo today. (Launch)
10K at lunch in 44:50 on a chilly but nice day. Another really good run. Pace was very easy, started slow (7:30ish) and progressed easily to a 6:47 for mile 6. A good day of running! (TSD5)
The African Children's Choir is performing tonight at 7pm in SLC at "Lifechurch" (3818 W 4700S)...they are very inspiring! |

| A great run this morning. Went out early for 3 miles with Moxie before meeting up with the group...a big one today. Curt, Craig, Andrea, McKay, Marlin, Deborah and Sarah. A great run through SRL and around the greenbelt, mostly with Craig and having some great conversation. 15 miles total in 1:52:50. Afterwards, got the kids off to some activities then Kami and went to the AAC for Alana's yoga class to start improving my flexibility. It was good, but has some work to improve the flex in my hips...I really felt it but it was good! Now for a day of family fun...pumpkin patch and carving, Boo at the Zoo tonight!
