A Garage Reunion

December 28, 2011 — Leave a comment

I broke this bad boy out today for a project.

It had been a while since we’d worked together…it was a productive reunion.

The finished project will be posted later this week…

me, HIM

A rough minute, hour, day, month, year can change or affect me – it does not change or affect HIM:

“…if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.”

– 2 Timothy 2:13 NIV

Thankful, so thankful for that truth.


Training Journal – 12/26/11:

Good read over at Michael Hyatt’s blog…check it out.

I think there are three reasons why you and I should embrace discomfort, whether we deliberately choose it, or it simply happens to us.

I have to admit:

I find this both intriguing, scary…

…yet still intriguing.

He Putteth Up

December 16, 2011 — Leave a comment

I read this the other day:

He put up with them through forty years of wandering in the wilderness.

– Acts 13:18 NLT

So glad He puts up with me too.  [thank You God!]

…Oh, and here’s a little hymn I wrote:

He putteth up with me
He putteth up with me
Just as He didst with Israel…and every other person He created
He putteth up with me

[cha, cha, cha!]


Training Journal – 12/16/11:

  • Current plan: 10K Training
  • Today’s session: Easy 4 mi run
  • Comments: Good run on another brisk morning.  After starting out a little fast, I remembered the “easy” part of the training day plan and slowed down…

A Cave And A Memory

December 15, 2011 — Leave a comment

The Cave

When I started running, Karen asked if I was going to get “one of those headlight things.”  My response, “Pffft, yeah right!”

I caved, got one, and really like it.

The Memory

See’s peanut brittle was one of my dad’s favorite Christmas time treats – a close second was old fashioned hard candy (that pretty much ending up sticking together in a single mass as the season progressed.)

I bought us a box the other day, kind of in remembrance.  Some of us used to get in trouble for eating most of “his” box. 🙂


Training Journal – 12/15/11:

  • Current plan: 10K Training
  • Today’s session: 5 mi Tempo Run
  • Comments: Good run.  Stayed pretty much on tempo with the planned pace (±30 sec, though pacing was upside down from where it should be.)  There was a light drizzle so I gave my light wind/rain jacket a test.

“I am here” [good read]

December 11, 2011 — 1 Comment

“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!!

MASSIVE

December 1, 2011 — Leave a comment

Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.

Jesus…was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

Jesus wept.

– John 11:4, 33, 35 NIV

Chewing on the MASSIVENESS of those verses…

  • God can be glorified in and through all things – am i living with that default setting?
  • My God isn’t some unfeeling, distant, stoic who won’t or doesn’t understand or identify with me.
  • He did. I can.

MASSIVE!
