This Morning

In my mind:

In reality:

A rainy day treadmill run. yuck.

But it was training none the less…and a nice dry environment to do an inaugural run in my blues.

Training Journal – 2/7/12:

Current plan: 10K Training
Today’s session: 4 Mile Easy Run @ 11:21
Comments: Treadmilling it is not a favorite, but I did have negative splits this morning and stayed dry. Pace was 9:40 – still fast against plan…

Interactions

Read this today. Pretty clear guidance on interactions … though often a challenge:

Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger men as you would to your own brothers. Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters.

- 1 Timothy 5:1, 2 (NLT)

Chomp! CHOMP!

Training Journal – 2/5/12:

Current plan: 10K Training
Today’s session: 11 Mile Long Run @ 11:21
Comments: What a wonderful morning for a run along the rolling East foothills. The pacing challenge continues: I TRIED, but still can’t seem to hit the goal. Today’s average was 9:58. Splits were pyramid rather than positive or negative in shape… giddy-up!

Tired

dennarr — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:04:35 +0000

Call it the “post-vacation blues”, exhaustion, or whatever, I simply seem to be more tired from one week back in the office than six days of activity in Hawaii.

A return to the Islands might
be a prescribed remedy…

…and possibly a weekend!

Training Journal – 2/3/12:

Current plan: 10K Training
Today’s session: 6 Mile Easy Run @ 9:55
Comments: Another day with the “pace abiding” goal: planned was 9:55, achieved was 9:16 (Oh well.) I did have negative splits and a sub-60 minute 10K! [I also discovered myself humming "smooth" at least five times during the run!]

Waikoloa Mornings & Evenings

dennarr — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 22:03:13 +0000

Each day at our resort, hundreds of these Mynas wished us “Good Morning” and “Good Night.”

They seemed to like the courtyard of our tower the best!
