Yes, I Did Also Run On Monday

I didn’t get around to sharing yesterday’s easy run to the masses, you may have seen it if you follow me on one of the various run tracking platforms. Today’s speed work kicked my butt indeed. I got a Garmin 5K PR though, so I can’t complain, plus I did manage to get up early and get out for a run.

At the end of the day it really doesn’t matter how “good” your run is, all that really matters is that you got out the door and were active. Can a PR, or feeling really good at the end of a run, be something to be excited and happy about, for sure. In the long run, no pun intended, the PRs are going to stop. We are all going to get older and slower, that is a fact of life. However, if I can reach my 70s/80s/90s and still get out and put some distance in no matter the speed or the distance I call that an ultimate win.

I’m still looking for some partners to help me cross my fund raiser finish line. It’s not too late to join me and make a global impact. https://timn.me/HWI2022

    Changing Focus And Changing Pace

    I expected to have a better overall average time given my training plan had me doing high intensity sprints. It’s OK though as my times were faster than my plan actually called for. The 2nd half of my run was really a little bit of a wake up call on where my focus has been lately. Life has been more about me lately and I’ve been missing, or straight up ignoring the needs of people around me. I may be a bit hard on myself but I’m one that always feels called to do better and not let myself just coast through life. Christ is the model of how even though we may be working on our personal calling our focus needs to be on…

    Focusing On Others Through The Run

    During this time when the best course is staying at home away from others as much as possible focusing on #WhyIRun and the people of Sierra Leone keep me going. if you let yourself get stuck on focusing on yourself you’ll start to get even more overwhelmed and selfish. When you focus on others in need you realize how blessed you truly are and can use that to help others as God intended for us. #HWI #Run4Water

    Cutting My Long Run Short, And A Couple Of Injuries Along The Way

    Give the gift of clean water, donate today! https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #Injury Today was an early morning to get my long run in before family stuff. I hit the road around 4am and things were going good, up until between mile 7 & 8 when I tried getting off the road for an oncoming car and ran into some sort of poll tearing my watch of my arm and scraping my wrist. I thought the rest of the run would be fine after that. However, I got to about 14 miles and was passing by some construction and I totally didn’t see the missing sidewalk and bit the dust something terrible, going down hard. My knees where all banged up and bleeding. I…

    Fighting The Urge To Just Go Back To Bed

    It was tough to get going this morning. After another rough night with my daughter not being able to sleep I had all I could do to not just go back to bed after the alarm went off. Once I actually got the pavement my pace was a slow start for sure. I’m happy to say though that by the end things had turned around. I did enjoy a good time in prayer and worship. I not only lifted up some recent needs, and praise, but I also lifted up the people in Sierra Leone that are still struggling to gather clean water for their families. I also lifted up our Enable The Children sponsored child and his family. I know that life is a…
