treadmill...treadmill...
well everyday is running on the treadmill right now, but the one advantage to that is being able to control my speed and focusing on prayer is easier. Running is definitely my prayer time, so I can't not run, because I can't not pray! Prayer is my God time and the most powerful thing I can do! I am working at running faster, so when riss and I go on runs outside together we can run a pace closer to her speed..of course not as fast as she would lol but closer! I haven't been reporting my mileage so can't really say...but I will guess for this week.
Add: 15 miles running and 8 miles biking

Variety Is the Spice of Life
Sunday I ran 3 miles to the intersection out Waterman and back. Monday it was 2 more interval miles on the treadmill. Wednesday I ran 3.35 miles with the aerobic setting. Nothing special to report. Run fast then run slower. This variety keeps it interesting. This is life.

Whatcha Hunting For Anyway?
I've run into the darkness for some time now, 9.75 miles to be exact over the past two weeks. Seems as if my running mileage is down but weekends have been busy and the hunting good. Just guessing that I managed about 6 miles of hiking up and down hills looking for something.
What am I really hunting for? Deer. Pheasant. My health. Solitude. Camaraderie. I believe a bit of all of these is the truth and that is the beauty of the season. Running is great but hunting is better yet. A kill scene is a howling of praise and celebration to God for the bounty, men working together, back slapping and good natured teasing. The hunt is a physical endeavor demonstrating skill, stamina, and teamwork. No hunt is unsuccessful if men gather at the end and share their stories over jerky and peanuts washed down with coffee or water.
To the men I hunt with and the hunts we've shared this season, for the butchering days of fall, for the meat in the refrigerator, and the jokes and insights we've shared I thank God. I believe I am hunting for the glory of the Lord this season.

October 5th already!!
Wow its already october 5th this is craziness! well after 3 days off I was back and running this morning. Except no longer the deer filled streets of La Grande, instead the little workout room at the apartment complex. It is nice, but missed the fresh air while running. Thank you God they have a workout room :)
