Easter Sunday Run

What a beautiful day that God the almighty has given today!! Without any of the normal pains I usually have, and love in my heart on this Easter Sunday, the little 6mi jaunt I did went ever so quick for me!!









Sometimes when I'm running, I just have to stop and thank the Lord for the ability to run.....walk.....stand.....breath!!
It was a lifetime ago, but there was a time where I was disabled....hospital bed in my living room....having to have assistance to shower....learn how to walk again......It was all taken away from me, for just brief moment in time. When I run, I remember this, and stop and pray to him I owe all to!!  I thank him for all my friendships....the people I love here in Mesquite....my beautiful Daughter who's given me beautiful Grand girls.....my Floridian who I am in love with,....and the opportunity to be a whole, and better man. Thank you God.
I also have decided to train for a triathlon....I call out now to my Mesquito friends, for anyone to find one and lets all do it...or if anyone can help me, specifically with swimming, I'd appreciate it.My friend Randy Rynearson, 56yrs, is doing the STG mini Ironman, and he is a true insipration to me!! Anyone interested or have training ideas, let me know. May God bless you all on this most holy day.

Palm Sunday Run

It's a gorgeous Palm Sunday morning here in Mesquite, and I hope it's great where ever you live. Today's run was just under 5mi for a total this week of 27.15mi!!! Not too shabby for a big boy like me!! LOL.......I think it's time to find some running events. My Mesquito Brothers and Sisters have been all over it....Kudos to Shelby who did the Devil Dash, and to the group who kicked butt in the Spectrum 10K......so it's time to get going again, I mean I feel great, no knee pain at all, so no excuses!!

 Running has been an incredible experience for me.
I'm not too fast, however, when I do it.....
my mind clears up, I seem to think deeper.
Lately, I've been plugging my Bible app in....I actually retain the words spoken to me while I run.
It's remarkable, really!! Inside this lineman's body,
is a sleek, slim, runner, who is released every time
I run!!

I am a lone wolf, type of runner....but I am planning to actually run, one of these days with the group...and hopefully I won't lag to far behind! lol
Here's to you all, hope everyone has a wonderful Palm Sunday, and as always...links below. Love!

A Good Week of Running!!!

 I love this John Bingham quote.....I feel exactly that!!
It's been a good running week....No knee pain....fat pouring off of me, like Niagra Falls, lost 10lbs in a months time and on to another 10lbs by April. Did a 7 mile run today to end the week at 20mi of running....not to mention I walked about 8-9mi yesterday ( have the sunburn to prove it LOL ). Running today was incredible, in ways I just can't explain...It just was!!

Guess it's time to look for races and finally
get back out there!! We'll see what we can find, and as always I need to thank some folks.....Thank you Dr.S.Parry for fixing my knee.....Thank you Ethan, for being a fighter and an inspiration to me....Thank you my Heavenly Father, for love and a chance!!
As usual links below...God bless, and good running!

It's Been Awhile.......

........But I'm running again!! It's taken awhile for my knee to settle down, but it finally seems to have done so. This past week, I have run to and from work 3 times with a total mileage for the week at 14+.

I still have a healthy dose of reality, concerning my knee, so I'm planning on those little runs for the next week, evaluate it, and increase to 4 times a week if I can. Over doing it will just aggravate it, so.....

....It's been beautiful this past week, we should all take advantage of it.....enjoy a little run.....if you can't run, walk...just get out there and enjoy these beautiful days provided to us by God. I would also like to offer my thoughts and prayers to my buddy Ethan, who has relapsed, but in his usual fashion, doesn't whine, feel sorry for himself, and just fights it!! Truly a wonderful boy, who deserves so much more, than most of us!! As always, links are below, and have a great day my friends!!       

It's Children...DONATE!!!

Run.....It could save your life too!!

Goals......Get some!!!!
