A Little Less Hair And A Little More Speed

This morning was a bonus training run day. According to the Endomondo marathon training plan I needed to do at least 5 days of running per week which meant adding Wednesdays as a running day instead of the training plan’s cross training day. I haven’t gone through to see how other things line up though I have my doubts much will actually line up. We’ll see what plan I end up following in the end.

I spent some time thinking about, and praying for, the people in Sierra Leone, especially those that I encountered last year when I was there. The rainy season should have either started or should be starting. This always presents it’s own challenges. For many getting around during the rainy season can be hard. Those that work with Enable The Children (#ETC) have to try to make through all sorts of road conditions to get the children they are working with. And those that need to travel to the markets or cities to get supplies or sell their goods also have a challenging time. My prayer for them right now is that the rains would be timely so that water can be supplied but it doesn’t hinder other aspects of their lives. Also, that the rains wouldn’t prevent new wells going for villages that desperately need them.

    It was a nice long run this morning. I had the worship workout music going and had some solid time with God. Hopefully I’ll get one more of these runs in before I have to take a break from running. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon

    A Little Winter Storm Speed Work

    It was an interesting morning given today ended up being both a winter weather advisory and a speed work training day. Not to mention getting a work call mid-run. Nothing like telling your co-worker to speak up because you are in the middle of a run. #HWI #rRn4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

    4th 5K…Struggling With My Progress

    Since I had more time today, day off today, I took an extra 4 minutes to cool down. Lost the full stats but caught my average minutes per mile to be 10. Feeling a bit frustrated with that average given that my best average to date was 9:31min/mi, just a week ago. :-/ I feel…

    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…
