Interactions

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

- 1 Timothy 5:1, 2 (NLT)

I stumbled across a simple fitness and nutrition plan for busy people that I thought I’d share…

Used to…

So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.

Colossians 2:16-17 NLT

I used to do this.

A lot.

So wrong, so wrong.

Training Journal – 1/26/12:

Current plan: 10K Training
Today’s session: 6 mile tempo run @ 9:50
Comments: The 6 mile tempo run turned into a half marathon tempo run this being my final vacation/run day on the Big Island. I did try and follow the 9:50 timing though. My pinky toe has a gnarly blister – my sock must have turned…
