Today's Run 07.30.08

Target: Easy Run - 7 miles @ 8:43 pace.

Today's Run: 7 miles in 59:14 (8:28 pace). Ran nice and easy. After the long run on Monday, 7 miles felt short. I ran to Johnny Cash and it seemed to work. Cracked the 500 mile mark for the year. I have only done that once before.

Today's Run 07.28.08

Target: Long Run - 18 miles @ 8:43 pace.

Today's Run: 18 miles in 2:40:33 (8:56 pace). Missed the target by about 4 minutes, but considering the heat... and all the energy I spent at Heaven Fest, I was mostly pleased.

Heaven Fest - 12,000+

Well... the whole idea of giving updates during Heaven Fest was quickly squashed. I was too busy, but for all of the right reasons. More than 12,000 people came for this awesome God provided day! I will tell you more about it in the next day or two. I am whooped and on my way to bed. Time for rest. I have an 18 mile run tomorrow, and it could be rough.

Heaven Fest Update #3

On site and things are looking good. Cardboard Campout last night was a success with @ 75 people turning out to sleep outside for the night. There were a couple of families with small children who participated.

Bryan Sederwall from Denver Church shared and reminded everyone "not to let what you can't do, keep you from doing what you can do." That statement really stuck with me through the night and into the day.

Two hours away from the gates opening. It is going to be awesome. For those following along, pray that God would be lifted on high and that he would receive all the glory for today!

Heaven Fest Update #2

Rain. Lightning. Wind. Power Outage! Yikes... Not exactly ideal set up conditions... But... the power is back on and the sun is shinning and everyone is back at it. God is good and here we go.

Heaven Fest Update #1

Less than 24 hours until Heaven Fest 2008 begins. The place is looking great and soooooo... many people are hard at work to make it all happen. Main stage went up earlier today and all of the booths, tents, other stages are being set. Looking out beyond the main stage are the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Sundown tomorrow will be incredible!

Be praying for the group tonight that is involved in Cardboard Campout. They will fast, pray, and sleep outside to raise awareness and money for the homeless. You can donate here.

Here is the view so far...

Today's Run 07.21.08

Target: Easy Run - 8 miles @ 8:54 pace

Today's Run: 8 Miles in 1:07:47 (8:29 pace). This week begins week four of training for this. It is designed to be an easier week of rest of recovery. Basically the training I am doing is 4 cycles of 4 weeks each. During each cycle the intensity increases over the first four weeks and then is followed by a week of only easy runs. I probably ran a bit harder than I should have today, but I really only pushed myself the first and last mile. The rest was nice and easy.
