My Soul Sings…

Last week was a bad week of running… ended up dealing with a horrible cold. Not a usual cold… one of those nasty kind. In fact it’s still kinda lingering on. Anyway, long story short… I ended up missing several days in a row in the hope that I would recover for my events last [...]

Well… maybe not the BEST week of ALL time, BUT… it’s been awhile since I was able to run 4 miles a day, 7 days in a row. This morning I was up before the sun here in Pierre, SD… and btw, it’s dark here in the a.m. Anyway… today marked my 7th day in [...]

Last Saturday I decided to pull a 5 mile run. As of late I’ve been running approx. 4 miles at a time. Not bad I guess… but there’s always this part of me that always wants to push it. SO… I pounded out a 5 mile run.This morning as I rise my right ankle is [...]

Best Week Ever???  Well… maybe not of all time, but… it’s been a long time! Today marks the end of my running week… Sunday is going to be my day off. Anyway, I am very elated to have consistently run 3 miles a day over the last 6 days. My right knee is still tender [...]

It’s never fun when you’re doing everything you can to stay in shape and then your knee starts giving you some trouble. In fact for the last year and a half I’ve been struggling through a series of injuries… back soreness, plantar fasciitis, and now knee soreness. All this has hampered my running routine and slowly [...]

Good Morning… Jill and the puppies are safe and warm after another blizzard blows through western SD. Thankfully I’ve got some dear friends who are willing to help and assist with snow removal while I am away. From what I am hearing… they got dumped on. Jill will most likely not get out before the [...]

Greetings Everyone… Here’s my first post for 2009! Oh my gosh… another year has zoomed by. Or… it feels like it has zoomed passed.  I know that’s a common feeling for most us. Anyway, as the new year starts I find myself feeling pretty excited. Last year was a horrible year for me!  Well… not [...]

This morning I ran 2 miles!  I know… that doesn’t seem all that far, but… I haven’t run in nearly 3 weeks and it felt great to get out and ‘slog.’ As I slogged along I was taken by how BLUE the sky was.  How clean to air is… and, how beautiful it is here [...]

Last week I went to serve at our church’s Youth Camp… love it and planned to run every morning, but… on the first day I was placed with a team as a “team leader” for fun competitions. Our first main event meant that I had to sprint to a spot and sprint back…  Due to [...]

Goodness… what a title for my post today!  I know that may sound somewhat odd… but I was out ‘slogging’ in Olathe, KS this morning and it felt hot and humid.  Being from Western South Dakota I’m not used to such things… but, it felt great.  It reminded me of my days in Charleston, South [...]
