Matt was telling me last night that he regularly prays Col. 1:9-14 while he's running, especially for his wife (Ann Marie) and his new baby girl (Caroline). He tells me that trying to recite something you've memorized, whether Scripture or anything else, while you're running is very tough. It truly forces you to concentrate. MOF, CW's own Magdalene has been doing her Scripture memorization while walking for the last year-and-a-half to two years. So it can be done, but it's definitely hard.

Great job Duane & Stella! Keep it up! One goal at a time - one step at a time! It's really coming all together!
I was so tired again this morning that by the time I dragged my body out of bed, I knew I didn't have time for a long run, so I figured it was a good day for sprints. I ran 1 mile alternating sprints & jogs. I was reminded how much I need to work on sprints! Phew! But it felt good and I'm glad I drug myself out of bed to do it!

So far, I've done 11 miles since Monday (4, 4 and 3) but I went a little faster. I'm doing 10 min mile now--pain free. I'll do 4 more tomorrow then head out to the lake to do some mountain biking and rock climbing all weekend. No matter what I do, I can never forget running. I love it. I've been running fro 20 years, and it is still my number 1 activity. Of course, for keeping in shape and developing really lean muscle, I also fell in love with Yoga and man, I love how it developed my abs and my arms.

Great job! I'm planning on a long run (for me that's 3 miles) tomorrow, then a long bike ride on Saturday - we'll see what for Sunday. It's supposed to get very hot this weekend (low 100s). Ugh!

How do you do anything when the temp reach 100? How long do you go? YOu must be used tothe heat. I ran today using the treadmill in our clubhouse where it is airconditioned, but it was still too hot when I was running.
Do you bring tonnes of water or do you go in shaded areas? I'm hoping where I'll be going this weekend will have shades on the trail. It's an easy trail...pretty flat with little hills. I'm hoping to develop my riding skills because I'm taking my daughter downhill mountain biking and neither one of us are strong mountain bikers.

By the way, is that you in your avatar?
Yea, that's me and Abi taken last Sunday. I'm in love with the dog. She's not mine. I'm not allowed to have a dog in my condo. But if I can, I'd run out and buy one right now. I would so love to have a dog to run and hike with.
There was this dog in one of the Colorado mountain trails that actually hikes with people all the way to the summit. If the dog likes you, he'll summit with you (14000 ft). But if he doesn't, he'll snub you. That's so cute. I'd like to go to that trail one day and meet that dog and see if he likes me, lol.

That's great! Have you ever done a race? I love them! Not that I'd ever win, but it's so much fun to be out there with a bunch of other runners and pushing yourself to the limit.

This is actually going to be my second 5K race, Kristin. My first one was last September 1st, the Charleston Distance Run 5K (43:28.25). It's held in conjunction with the CDR 15 mile race and the 10 mile walk. The Distance Run itself has slipped a little in it's popularity in recent years; there used to be over 1500 entrants, but now only around 850-900 runners. The 5K, though, keeps getting bigger - I guess people are getting older and can't do the hill section of the race anymore. I don't know if you've ever heard of Harry Cordelos, the blind man from San Francisco, or not, but he has been coming for years to run in the CDR, but has switched to the 5K. In fact, one year, they even had a triathlon here around the same time, and he participated in that as well. He's a truly wonderful brother in Christ, and gave his testimony at a local church once. He's due back for this years CDR 5K on Aug. 30th, and I'll be there as well. I'll do one race in the fall, and that will be it for the season, although I'll keep up the running all winter - just no racing. You're right, though, Kristin. It is really neat to be out there with everyone else, whether you know them or not. The camaraderie is wonderful, especially at the finish line and refreshment tent.

That's how I felt when I realized I was at an 11:30 pace the other day! 
I'll bet you can easily do sub-40:00 when it's time for your race!!! 
) and I just wanted it to end...
