A Tough Interval Run On Turkey Day
I had my own personal Turkey Trot this morning. Things started out good but I had another though finish. I’m thankful, however, that I am able to get out there and get some miles in. #HWI Run4Water #WhyIRun #TurkeyTrot

No One Cares If I Get My Run In…To Run Or To Sleep
I have to believe that every runner has those days where you have to sell yourself on the idea of getting your run in. I enjoy my running time, but there are those days where I get up and think to myself, “No one cares if I go out and run, I could just go back to bed”, but when I think about why I am running the idea of not going out quickly fades away. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #RiverBankRun I run, you give, I match it, it’s as easy as that.

I Am Blessed To Be Able To Run
Short easy 5 mile training run this morning. My focus this morning was on the Jon Martinson family and the people of Sierra Leone. I can’t begin to know what it’s like to lose a spouse or parent at a young age. It’s hard to believe that a man I worked alongside for years, and was always way healthier than me, is facing his last days. As for Sierra Leone, last night I happened to catch a little montage video of my trip, back in May, that Google Photos made. It brought back so many feelings from my time there. I hope that I can return again. I’m also thankful to be a part of improving life there. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water Donate to Clean Water…
Attempting To Follow The Plan
In an effort to actually take into consideration the things I read about running, and specifically training, I tried to slow things down today. I was still a bit faster than the training plan called for today but then it also felt like I was barely exerting myself, which is also kind of the point with slowing down and actually training my body and not just pounding on it. An additional benefit of slowing things down are being able focus and my one-on-one time with God. It allows me to actually listen to the words of the music that is playing, and listen to God’s prompting. Today was less about bring up my, or others, needs but about simply being thankful for where I am…
Stepping Up The Long Run Miles
On Saturday I was up at 4:15am to get my 11 miles in before family time. It felt good to get a longer run in and not be so concerned about my pace, though I did have a time limit so that is always an additional motivator. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun Will you commit to help with clean water? https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr
