1 Samuel 14:6 " ...nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few."

Things are really coming together for the Chloe K. 5K Run/Motorcycle Ride for Autism. Bands are wanting to play, corporate sponsors are coming through, and the word is getting out about the ride, run and walk. Also the bracelets are in and the t-shirts are coming along.

What a beautiful morning. This is my kind of running weather. It was sunny and 60 in Northwest Indiana at 5:00a when I started my run. I had a 5 mile tempo run today. A tempo run is where you do a 1 mile warm-up, do the 5 miles at a pace that is "comfortably hard," followed by a 1 mile cool down. I did the tempo part at about 7:20 minutes per mile. That's pretty good for me. Tempo runs teach your body to run faster before fatiguing (hopefully farther too.) To be honest, it was on the running schedule, so I did it. Anyway it was a good confidence booster.

Well tomorrow is a rest day. (yea!) Then on Saturday I am doing my first Sprint Triathlon in Valparaiso. A triathlon consists of a swim, bike ride, and run. "Sprint" just means that the distances are shorter. It is a 1/4 mile swim, 12.5 mile bike, and a 5K run. I am just doing it for fun and to see what it is like. The friend who talked me in to it is pretty serious about it and has a great chance at winning it.

Anyway thanks for the support and continued prayers for the "Chloe K. Run for Autism" and the "Chloe K. 5K." The Lord works in Great Strength when His People wait upon Him.
