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?

Six miles and I am dead


Well it was hot, the first day of actual heat and a bit humid I might add. So How do I celebrate this auspicious occasion, Yup I go for a run. Not real far just six miles. I load up the camel pack drop a GU and I am gone. I have to say I felt it right from the start It was hot. It was slow going legs were just not in it, pulse hovered around 188 and water did not last long. I probably walked a good quarter of it and 1 and half hours for six miles was just way to slow. But it was 105 degrees and humid and my first run in the heat so finishing was the goal and that goal was met. These will only get harder but running in the heat is my forte and I will only get more accustomed to it as time goes by and I will remember that I love to run in the summer and embrace it once more. Oh I also lost my credit card, It fell out of my camel pack, oh well, I canceled it and ordered a new one. Nothing to get upset about.

Also as I said before Football has started and my new freshman is well into it. I am again a proud football dad.



OK everyone be safe
