Here are a bunch of random thots from this week.
– My son played baseball yesterday. The team seemed to be asleep, but he had fun!
– Monday night, our third service planning team met to pray & nail down a "straw man" plan to add weekend services as needed in the future. We landed on adding a 3rd Sunday morning service first, then a Saturday night as needed.
– Today, I made some real progress for Sunday's "Don't Forget the Lyrics" series conclusion. Check out Psalm 119:169-176. And don't forget to come to the first worship at 9a, to free up those primo 10:45a visitor spots.
– I started marathon training this week for a potential fall marathon. I'm using this training plan as a guide, sent to me by Eric.
– Finally cut & trimmed my 8" lawn tonight. Took for-ev-uh! I considered using a machete. If I waited any longer, I'd have to hire someone to bail it. 🙂
– Flipped on the College World Series & Stanford is up on Miami in the 9th inning, but there are no outs & Miami is rallying. Loser goes home. Keep hope alive!!! (I KNOW you're all praying for a Stanford World Series win!)
What marathon are you thinking of? And how fast are you planning on running. One of my goals is to try to get one run before 40 ( 3yrs 10mnths away). Plus I am currently shedding my baby fat (that I put on when Kim was pregnant). I may be interested in joining you, but I can’t keep up with Otte.
I’m thinking about this one:

So you left of your pace, but I having been thinking about it as well. Maybe we need a “Grace Group”. I did the 1/2 maraton 8 years ago, but I like this course better, so it may be time.
I was hoping to run in that marathon too. I’m pretty slow, but let me know if you need a running partner (especially on race day).
At the risk of having shattered dreams, I’m training for qualifying for the Boston Marathon as a 40-yr old male (i.e. a 3:20 min marathon = 7:38 min/mile).
Wow, that’s ambitious. I’m not sure I could keep that pace, since I’ve yet to finish a marathon in under 4 hrs. Best of luck to you!
BTW, you’re ‘training plan’ links to the same psalm verses you have earlier in your post. I’m guessing that’s unintended?
Aaron — Whoops! You’re right. I fixed the link to the training plan.
