Finished final today, finance team meeting tonight, time to get back at it tomorrow....

Found a shirt that will work for racing...not a tri-top as such, but made out of the same material.  Basically a compression shirt....$9.99 at Dick's Sporting Goods. I love a deal  :-)

No training today or tomorrow....have a final to tomorrow and about 300 pages of reading to catch up on (what a procrastinator I am!)

Spiritual Training:

Read Hebrews today...what a rich book...

7:25 "Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

9:12 "Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

10:12 "But this Man, after He had offered the sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,

Mile repeats at the Oak Park HS track. Wanted to warm-up and then shoot for 8 minute miles. Didn't do very good on the pacing....one of the PE classes was out there and I was weaving around kids. Went out a little too fast on my first one and couldn't get on track after that. But...at least I got the work out in.

Supposed to run today....slept in.  Figured I put in two workouts yesterday so no need to get up at an unsightly hour. (I know...what a lazy bum).  Will try to run over lunch....4 or 5 miles.

Ran in my hometown, Monroe, IA. We're here for a wedding and to see family. Longest run so far (9.4 prior longest). Finished this run pretty strong...last time I was dying! I think I ran 11:50 miles on the prior longest run. Slowing improving :-)

Great wedding yesterday. I feel old seeing our niece get married. Especially, when I remember her as the little, cute kid running around with a dirty face. Pastor did a great job. Both of them know Christ and wanted Him and his message of love and salvation to be presented. Great day.
