Lifting Weights

"Is it possible to use life resistances to build character and faith? I believe it is. Yet, as it is in weight lifting, a weight is only beneficial to the body when it is lifted and released. As muscles grow during times of rest, to never release a weight would forfeit the benefits of weight lifting and make way for serious injury. As it was in my worrying, I more closely resembled a person lugging around a barbell, stubbornly refusing to set it down."

Evening run

I really don't like to run in the evening. During the day I have all but talked myself out of running. Sometimes I do talk myself out of it. Anyway, it wasn't a bad run I guess. My legs seem to feel tired during the first half of each run and then they feel pretty good. Last night I was going pretty strong at the end of the run. I actually ran a minute over the scheduled 25 minutes. I was trying to get back to where I started. I was supposed to turn around at 12 min 30 secs but when I looked at my watch it was already 12 min 40 secs so I turned around at 13:00. So getting back to the start point at 26 minutes was good in my mind. Whenever the second half of the run is at the same or faster pace then I'm happy.

It was soooo humid...

After about 2 miles on Saturday I was feeling pretty drained. It was so humid. My minutes per miles was over 12. I did the first mile in about 12:30 and the second around 12:02. The third mile came in around 11:30 so I wanted to finish the last mile around 11 minutes. I stopped for maybe 20 seconds to look at a fawn curled up at the bottom of a tree. I think the last mile timed at 12:20 so I doubt I was going to make the 11:00 minute time anyway. The legs did still feel tired on Sunday. I have to make sure I eat better after the run. Also, I have to find my (or get a new) water bottle/belt.

I hope to finish the marathon under 5 hours, so I'd need to average better than 11 min 30 seconds.

Later...

Amy Wenz is my patient honoree!

TNT Patient Honorees are volunteers with The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society who have been affected by a blood cancer.

In April of 1999 Amy found a lump above her collar bone. After an x-ray, a CT scan and three biopsies she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. She was in stage 1, the cancer was isolated in a single area in her neck. She then began 6 months of chemotherapy and radiation. Amy is currently in remission!

Please be in prayer for Amy and all those affected by blood related cancers.
