Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NIV) I am a Christian a Husband, a Father, and of course a Marathon runner. What more could anyone ask?

Some days you just don't have it


So I ran today, if you want to call it that. By far the worst run I have ever had and I don't know why. There was just nothing there we are talking about maybe 3 miles. I have no no excuse and no reason. I ate good, not much sleep but I never get much sleep. I am tired though. oh well back at it on Sun. I thought about taking a day off the I said no breaks. So expect another post on Sun. I do have to work until 1 but i should get in an afternoon run.

Unitl then

Got the call

I was just informed if there is no change, after the funeral on Thurs I am going here

Sorry

Been busy, sorry for the lag. More updates soon. I have helping plan a funeral. I have been informed that I will be taking my Captain for his final ride. So there is alot involved. If you have never seen a full firefighter funeral they are quite impressive. I may post some pics when all is done.

For the blog itself , I have been running pretty regular more on that later

be careful

My friend

My Freind Charlie died this morning. He was my Engine Captain. I was his Engineer. In the Fire service the bond between firefighters is special and only stronger between a Captain and his Engineer He will be missed more than he will ever know. "See you tomorrow" has a new meaning to me.


See ya Capt

Oh ya it's on


I am truly getting back to form. A great 5 five miles this morn in under 50 minutes as well. Legs felt great breathing was great weather was great. I wisdh they all could be like that. I think we go for 10 On Tues.

So the Chicago marathon had to be stopped. Appearantly it was 87 degrees and with the humidity it felt like 90. You bunch of weiners welcome to my world. In the sumer time I have to get out before 6 am so I can be back before it reaches 115. Some days I can't get out that early so guess what I suck it up and run when it is 115. Just so you know that is 115 in at least 40 to 50% humidity so don't try to play the humidity card with me. I guess you just have to get used to it and as Nike keeps saying "Just do it"


be careful out there
