“At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices,…”
– Acts 7:57 NIV
I can just visualize the Sanhedrin acting
much like the little guy above…
…except for the stoning part, of course.
Training Journal – 12/13/11:
“Showing up matters more than ever…
Not just showing up in person, but showing up emotionally,…”
from: Seth’s Blog: “I am here”
I read this the other day…and chewed on it today during my afternoon run.
I often “show up” without showing up.
Just another thing to work on:
…simply and finally making necessary and honest changes in my life.
“Most of us know that if we want to improve, we must stress ourselves in some of our training sessions. Exercise stresses the muscles, stimulating them to grow stronger and work more efficiently. Without enough rest after the stress, however, the muscles are driven to exhaustion or injury.”

This is certainly a principle that goes well beyond running…
This morning was “long-run Sunday”…
If you would have suggested running 10 miles to the person on the left a few years ago, you would have received the “Ten Miles??” response, probably followed by a Nacho Libre-like “You Crazy!”
This morning, dude on the right entered the double-digit mileage club, running 10.02 miles in 1:42:54 at an average pace of 10:16/mile.
Oh, and those 1159 calories I burned…LUNCH!
GIDDY-UP!!
That’s a question you hear a lot. “Was it worth it?”
Not certain what either “it” refers to, but…

Pastor John spoke a bit from Lamentations 3 yesterday in church…
19 I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall.
20 I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.
21 Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
The handwritten note in the margin near verses 22-24 reads: “Respnsv Trust”
I wrote that back in 2009 while reading the Bible in 90 Days at church…I recall blogging about it as well:
Responsive Trust. 3:22-24. How can the writer say “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him.”? The statement about His great love, compassion, and faithfulness are from a heart that has experienced them and heard about them in the lives of ancestors of old. How can we say this? The same way – we’ve probably experienced them and heard about them in the lives of those we know. It is easy to forget these testimonies in the midst of trials, but we must cling to the TRUTH of God’s unchanging character! THANK YOU GOD!!
Good stuff…
…true Stuff…
…Faithful God!
Read this yesterday and thought about it early this morning during my first “long run”:
“Effortless effort. It means work hard, but trust that you can do it.”
-Rachel Cieslewicz, Pro Runner
At first I thought, “Poor letter ‘S’…”
But a quick check of Urban Dictionary made me ponder:
lobter [läb-stər]
Lobter is the essence of all life and all that is good.
Lobter is classified as a noun usually, but at times can be used as an exclamation:
“lobter: Mmmmmm“
“LOBTER! I STUBBED MY TOE!! LOBTER, it hurts..”
An awkward, “queue the crickets” moment from a conference I attended last week:
A presenter, who was discussing the security risks inherent in sharing too much on social media sites, flashed what she felt was a redacted LinkedIn profile page from someone who met specific search criteria for conference attendees.
It was clear, from the audience’s murmuring , she didn’t redact enough.
It was pretty easy to decipher where the person worked, who their clientele was, etc.
She proved her point and I’m positive there were quite a few nervous people in the audience.
I’m also pretty sure there was a ton of people who subsequently edited their profiles…immediately.
