My new GPS

My parents gave me a new GPS for Christmas. I tried it out this afternoon, and here is my first run:

Sometimes Things Don't Go As Planned

Don't ask me if I took this video while driving down the interstate. My heart goes out to this semi driver whose trailer exploded last week. Things have been a little less exciting for me. I didn't get to go back home and visit the family this weekend for Christmas, but I was able to have a nice, quiet Christmas here at home with Beth.

I tend to become frustrated with this chronic hip flexor strain that has kept me from running marathons for the past 2 years, but in many ways I am in better health than I have ever been. My life has evolved in many ways since last year. I have changed significantly since last year -- physically, mentally, and spiritually. God's plans and my plans have not been the same, yet He continues to change me and provide for me, despite my resistance. No, sometimes things don't go as planned, but we have a good God, and things always go as He plans.

Winter storm

Winter is here again! Although almost all the schools in Dayton were closed today, we still had a decent showing in the office. We cancelled the first 2 hours of appointments, which was great for me, because the commute took me a full 2 hours. This evening's activities consisted of one hour-long Krav Maga class and one hour-long Crossfit class. I left the gym in shorts and a heavy coat, and I definitely felt the 11 degree weather.
As I type, I hear Beth's pager going off yet again. . . making up for the month she spent away in Birmingham.
I set a goal at the beginning of December to lose 2 pounds by the beginning of the year; this is probably as close to a New Year's resolution as I will get. With the overabundance of unhealthy food, I will be happy even if I break even. More to follow. . .

Endomondo Running Workout

Endomondo Running Workout: "was out running 3.85 miles in 37m:51s using Endomondo." Nice, cold run with Peter.
