Riverwalk 10K

Left work a little early this evening, got home and changed and headed out to the Riverwalk. Had a little work release that needed to be executed so I decided to stretch today's run into a 6.2 miler. There were times during the out portion where I really wanted to turn around but I kept at it. I wasn't killing the pace by any means, but it was still a nice run. 6.2m in 58'21". Out in 28'46" and back in 29'35". Weather was perfect, sunset was beautiful and except for one area where they had done some construction on a sewer where the smell of sewage was in the air and another area where there were some gas mains that were leaking smelling of raw eggs, the route was perfect.

I've started listening to a guy named Dave Ramsey on my ipod. This guy is phenomenal. He is a christian financial caregiver. I say caregiver because that's exactly the way he approaches questions and callers. He is a faith first believer in a debt free way of life. Not because debt is a sin, but because life is better when you are not slave to the lender. Anyway, google him if you are interested. He is a heck of a guy.

Blackshear Sunset

Well, it feels like fall has finally set in. I'm sitting on the back porch down in Cordele looking over Blackshear and a truly Auburn sky. It almost looks on fire. Praise the Lord!

I got in 4.5m in 41:40 this evening after work. Easy running at a 9+ minute pace. The temp was around 70, but it was a cooling down 70. You know, the kind where there is almost a little chill in the air. This is great running weather!

I'm still not hydrating like I should be. I must address this over the next couple of weeks. I've got the Twilight 10k up at Callaway in two weeks and then I'm running a 12 miler with Josh and Nate at the beach in about 4 weeks. I'm a bit nervous, but at the same time excited about the distance. I've got to get my weekly run totals up. MUST FIND TIME TO RUN! NOT PUT OFF! GET BUTT OUT OF BED!

In addition to the running becoming more a part of my life, I think that I am also starting to feel the Lord's steady pressure. Not to quit my job and do anything crazy, but instead, just to be who I Am intended me to be. I think I might be interested in that! Irrespective of the life change that it might bring. I want to be a Godly father. I want my wife to know that I love her and will lay aside my life for her. I want to participate in change for Christ...
