Crazy Midday Training Run
Home from camping and got my Monday training run done. Word of wisdom, don’t go out running in midday for a training run. You are crazy if you do. ? It’s was a hot run that’s no doubt. Happy to have worship music going to keep me motivated. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water #Dedicated2TheCause #HotRun
Completing My 2020 Virtual Grand Rapids Half Marathon
To be honest, this morning didn’t feel like marathon day. It pretty much felt like any other morning I get up while it’s still dark, and everyone else is asleep, to go for a run. #GRMarathon #Run4Water #HWI This year has been a challenging one for running, and races, that is for sure. Most races were cancelled, postponed, or changed to virtual. My training has been all on my own, and when the pandemic hit I stopped sharing all of my runs on social media. Life wasn’t “business as usual” and I really couldn’t maintain a facade like it was. I did commit to running my 2020 Grand Rapids Half Marathon as a virtual run despite the offer to defer to next year. This morning…
Running Is My One On One Time
It’s still a little bit to get used to doing these longer “midweek” runs on a Monday instead of a Tuesday, but I think I’m getting into a groove with it. It’s nice to have a long “easy” run on a Monday where is can spend a lot of time listening to worship music, listening for God’s direction, and presenting the needs of friends and family to Him.

I do enjoy group runs but there is something to be said for having time where it’s just you, the pavement, and God. I spent…
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…
New Year’s Eve 10K+
A bit later of a start this morning, a big change for me to actually run when there is daylight. It’s always interesting trying to get in enough miles running around my small hometown of Le Sueur, MN.
Easy Monday Training Run
Got in an easy 11 miles today. Enjoyed another run just listening to the worship music and not letting myself get too wrapped up in work or other distractions. #HW #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus
