Going out today was done with many thoughts of how am I going to get through the school year. This summer has been a summer of many positive things and blessings without the feeling of direction and purpose. I am going to Rca Lord willing for my 13 th year. I am thankful for the job and benefits, but the job itself is one of survival. My heart is not in it as well, my heart is not into my church even with my wife and father in law serving as pastors and basically running the church guiding it’s direction. I love my wife and she is the only reason that I attend. It hasn’t always been this way, but it has progressed to this point over the years. I know the Lord is in control and I my trust is in Him.
My workout today was slow. I experienced several major downpours and kind of just survived. My pace has been slow of late. My knees have been an issue especially since camp. All those tag games seemed to tare up my knees and they have yet to recover. I have also been so tired and uninspired— the result has been slow paces. I did 9.3 miles in 2:37:09 for a 16:53 minute per mile pace with an average heart rate of 156 bpm with an elevation gain of 370 feet with an average cadence of 122 spm at 72 very humid degrees. I hope that this workout is like the last dresses rehearsal— meaning a bad workout means a good year. So I go into the year with my weight at the high end of normal and my pace at the low end of fast. That said, I am grateful for my health and my opportunities for some down time. I know there is not perfect place, but I do long for Maine and teaching and coaching in a small town. Being a member of a church where I feel a part and can use my abilities. Bless you Lord!
