My Shoes

Yesterday the hip finally felt good enough (read, “not as painful”) to go out for a walk. I slipped my feet into my running shoes and I stroll-limped down to Jensen’s Restaurant to get coffee and a muffin – no running yet. I sat near the woodstove which radiated a penetrating heat and [...]

Me and owner Rich Cretaro at the Living Word

A hearty “Thanks” to Rich and Debbie Cretaro at the Living Word Christian Bookstore in Latham. We had a great time at the book signing. They had prepared a nice spot near the door so I could greet customers coming in. I got to make [...]

So here I am 4 and a 1/2 weeks out from my first race (a half marathon) and I am stuck on the couch unable to run until I heal up. On Friday March 12 I took a hard fall on a concrete floor – landed on my left hip. The resulting injury – [...]

9 days since I fell and still can’t run – NOT happy! The good news is it’s getting better but just praying the healing process will speed up. Still planning on doing the half marathon in La Jolla.

The radio station is actually going to play the interview this morning at 8:15 for those who would like to tune in.

Youth Rally last night, big crowd, went great but toward the end I tripped over my own feet in front of everyone and fell on my left hip. The floor in our fellowship hall is very hard - vinyl tile on concrete. The impact took my breath away. For a minute I thought I was [...]

Wonderful prayer meeting Saturday night. We sought the Lord for healing for a number of people. After laying prostrate in His presence for some time I was mightily encouraged by some saints who came to pray over me. I was refreshed as they laid hands on me. The Lord then began to minister to [...]

Ran 8.8 miles Saturday – a nice long run although I want to run the full race distance at least once before race day on April 25. I thought the next hill I would tackle would be Bank St. but wound up running out Rte 67A toward N. Bennington on Sat. When I made [...]

So I’m thinking “I have to get stronger!” The La jolla half marathon is considered a pretty difficult half because it has some hills. One in particular is somewhat daunting – almost a mile long with a vertical rise of 420′. Been looking for a comparable hill to train on – Ran the museum hill [...]
