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)

I’ve been reading through the Pauline Letters and was in 1 Timothy this morning. Sometimes I like checking passages out in other versions – Da Jesus Book (the Hawai’i Pidgin Bible) is often a favorite:
We all say dis:
Da stuff bout God, dat befo time was secret, dass importan fo real kine.
Christ wen come, wit one body jalike us.
Godʼs Spirit wen show proof dat Christ stay right.
Da angel guys from God wen see him.
His guys wen teach da diffren peopos all ova da world bout him.
Get peopo inside da world dat trus him.
God wen take him back to da awesome place inside da sky.
– Numba 1 Fo Timoty 3:16 – da Jesus Book

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!

I’ve yet to run one (late 2012/first half 2013 is the goal),
but this video may provide some preparatory insight…
..anyone care to confirm?
In my two 13-mile training runs, miles 1, 2, & 10 seem familiar; miles 7 & 11, not at all…

Here are the stats for the month that was January 2012:
Mileage:
Pace:
Total Running Time:
Training Program(s):
Current plan is a 10K training plan I made using the Runner’s World Smart Coach app. It is about 20-25 miles a week: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. The weekday sessions range in distance from 3 to 6 miles, with the weekend sessions being the “long run” day at 7 to 11 miles. The plan integrates Easy Runs, Tempo Runs, Speed Runs, and I am adding some hill sessions as well, just to mix things up.

GIDDY-UP!

In my continuing read of Hal Higdon’s, Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide, I’ve noted several areas in my training regimen that I need to change…
Today’s focus was: Training Pace
So, this morning I forced myself to run as close to the listed “easy run” pace for today’s session: 11:21
MANTRA: There is a reason for the various components of the training plan and the pacing as well – running at race pace or faster all the time won’t result in a good half or full marathon run. (as you can see, I’m thinking ahead…)
It was tough and I still ended up with an overall 10:49 pace – which is still a full minute slower than my average pace for a run of the same distance. The splits for this morning’s 4-mile run were: 10:12, 11:11, 10:51, and 11:05 – at least I came close to 11 twice.
I felt like I was dragging, but kept telling myself that over a 13.1 or 26.2 mile run, learning this technique will result in negative splits and ultimately better times…
Who said running was simple, thoughtless, forward movement!
One side note: I finally broke down and bought some decent “running” socks – my poser sport socks just were not cutting it anymore.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE! [happy feet! happy feet!]
Now to focus on the other laundry list of items from the book…

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!
