Fridays have become my real recovery day, less miles at an easy pace to prepare for Saturdays long run... Ran out towards Payson out and back, nice morning, my legs felt good again and I really had to watch my pace because I went out to fast and really tried to slow down on the way back. My average pace was 8:44 with my heart rate at 139 total time was 44:54.

It was nice just taking it easy this morning, it gave me time to reflect on life and the difficulties we all face. My brother Curtis and I went over to the hospital last night to give my brother Shane a blessing. He has had a tough go of it physically suffering from diabetes since he was 12 or so and he hasn't taken care of himself the way that he should. His kidney's are failing him now and he has to go on dialysis and he's basically blind, but one thing that has struck me about my brother is he never complains, always up beat and he loves his family with all of his heart. Isn't that what life is all about:) If you new Shane and the life that he has led you would truly be amazed. So I decided out there today that I need to take life one day at a time and enjoy it every minute, and never take for granted those things that are important because life can be so short...

See Ya Tomorrow.
