Monday Run-Down

Decided to update the title of my usual Monday mind-dump to something with more of a running theme...thought run-down was worthy.

• Well, I ended up biking in for Bike To Work Week on Tuesday…a roundtrip total of 42 miles. While it offered a nice, serene ride, it was also exciting as I ended up sharing the experience with six or so deer along the way. A couple were trail-hogs. It made for a great opportunity to spend some additional training time on the bike in anticipation of an adventure race coming up this next month.
  
  
• The final night for The ROCK youth group is Wednesday. We're taking the kids out for an old fashioned scavenger hunt around the city…basically deciphering clues which will then take us to certain locations where they need to answer a trivia question about the location. Looking forward to an awesome time...realizing this is our last night. Sigh. Need to talk with Jon about how I can get involved over the summer.
  
  
• Read this totally incredible blog from US marathon runner Josh Cox recounting a 50-mile race he once had…you have to check this out. Wow, how true it is that we need to learn to speak His words? He is so much bigger than we give Him credit for.
  
  
• Whew...it seems the days are already beginning to ramp up with activities, and it's not even summer yet! Praying for some extra peace, a little patience, and more time. Just feeling a bit strung out.
