Ava & Lily – Worship of the Birds and Flowers

I learned worship from my little girls, Ava and Lilie’s Mamma and sisters.  Worship is more than sound and motion, it is a heart that is filled with adoration; filled to overflowing, filled beyond our ability to contain it, filled to a point that our only natural recourse is to let it out. Although I… Continue reading Ava & Lily – Worship of the Birds and Flowers

Injury

Through out this process, each of us have dealt with sicknesses, pains and injuries.  It is a part of training that we all expected to deal with, but I think I can speak for the whole team when I say a vital part of overcoming these challenges has been the team.  When one of has fallen… Continue reading Injury

Day 78 thru Day 84

Days 78 thru 85:  Injury and slackardness.  Monday I trimmed my beard (when I should have been running) and then immediately tripped and hurt my foot.  On Tuesday, I got out ran my 5 miles.  At about the 4 mile mark, my foot started to hurt pretty bad.  I made it back to the house, but it… Continue reading Day 78 thru Day 84

My first thought after finishing this run was, this was horrible!  I was still very much feeling the effects of… Continue reading Day49

Day 11

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
