"The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time, but using every hour for the highest ends. So be it this day." Ch. Spurgeon
Well I apologize for not blogging earlier, faithful readers, but I have been either busy or tired.
Anyway, most of you are aware that Zach, Justin Rule and I spent Thurs, Fri, and Saturday at the Cornerstone Festival in IL. Cornerstone is a Christian Rock music festival. We camped out and had a good time. Zach and I ran a 5K race on Friday. Zach finished well even though he was actually too young to race. I won my age division and in general, kicked butt although I nearly vomited at the finish.
The terrain at Cornerstone was quite hilly, mostly gravel trails. I ran a 9 mile course there on Thursday and then the 5K on Friday. It was quite the workout. Sunday then I did my 16 miler, at home. It was tough, but I had company.
Tomorrow looks like an easy 9 miles. I feel good and with the 5 o'clock forecast being 59 degrees and no wind, I am sure that it will be a great run. I might even do a few extra.
Things seem to be going well with the 7.28.07 event. It is stressful though, having never done this before. Also we have no clue what the turnout will be, nor what the sponsorship will be. We have to remind ourselves that it is in God's hands and He is in complete Sovereign control of the whole thing.
Until later, Peace be with your soul.
