Day 11 – 3 miles – Up at 5:25, Breakfast 5:45 Out the door at 6:00. Note the close proximity of breakfast and out the door. Probably not the best idea. Undigested oatmeal pretty much feels like lead in the belly. To compound matter, after reading everyone else’s entries about 7, 8 and 9 minute… Continue reading Day 11

Day 10
Day 10 – 4 Miles – Up at 4:30, Breakfast and a blog. Forgot to publish Sundays blog. Out the door at 5:45. 18 degrees but no wind. Felt pretty good. Good start and good finish, but lost pace somewhere in the middle. If had won an I-pod at the stinkin’ party, maybe I could… Continue reading Day 10

Ps 91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Day 9 – Rest Day– I actually took a rest from the blog yesterday. It is key that when we take on a marathon task, rest days are as important as work days. As we… Continue reading Rest Day

Team Run #1
Day 6 – 5 miles – Pretty good run. I think breakfast helped (Thanks again Bobby) I can’t quite say I enjoyed the run, but I didn’t exactly hate it. That is real progress. We probably ran a bit faster than we should have, but it felt pretty good. Company party tonight, I can go… Continue reading Team Run #1
Over Coming Negative
As you might be able infer from my other posts. I have dwelt on my hate for running. These negative thoughts, although humorous, could spell the end for me. It is easy for discouragement to set in. I am not as fast and do not recover quite as quickly as most of these other guys. … Continue reading Over Coming Negative
1st Week in Review
Well, my intention was to write an entry for each day, but with setting up this and two other Weblogs this week, I didn’t quite get to it. So I thought that while I am sitting here, eating my 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 8 oz. fruit stuff two hours before our first official team… Continue reading 1st Week in Review

Attitude (Yes, it is a forward)
I can’t claim this story. It was forwarded to me by my wife, but I like it. Attitude John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, ‘If… Continue reading Attitude (Yes, it is a forward)
Is this fun?
Did I ever tell you that I hate to run? Running can not be natural. If you think about it, gravity and friction fight against our every step. But to survive, we pretty much need to move around to get the food we need to survive. We need that food to fuel our bodies so… Continue reading Is this fun?
