The weather is beautiful...

Spent some time running this morning. Got my 5 miles in and it was a little more effortless than the previous runs of the week. I wonder if running first thing in the morning had anything to do with it, hmmmm.....I just finished reading the book of Acts and Paul's story seemed to jump off the pages. My big buddy Rob turned 35 today and has a blog regarding his paradigm shift. It is amazing to me how someone can keep a journal over all these years. I have journaled in the past and I love to go back and read what I had written, especially in regards to specific requests to God.

My latest run

I was able to run 5 miles yesterday afternoon. I have never been able to
run that far and I felt it last night in my back. I wasn't that sore
this morning but I imagine tomorrow I will really be feeling it.
Interesting thing about the run was how I felt during the fifth mile. I
felt better during the fifth mile than I did during the 3rd or 4th mile.
I could probably run farther if I didn't try to run so fast. I need to
work on my pace to increase my mileage.

That boy is a runnin fool

I wanted to blog my running for the last two days, soo I can look back someday and hopefully see where my running hobby started. I ran 4 miles yesterday evening and 4 miles this evening. Yesterday I ran in about 38 minutes, today it to took me 40 minutes. Chewing gum seems to be the biggest help to keeping my mouth moist. Also walking a minute after every mile is making a difference in my endurance.
