New Leaf

So, this is my so called new leaf era. No more overindulgence of tobacco, alcohol, running, traditional archery, low carb eating, or whatever else is the lust of the particular moment. I will keep first things first: worship daily in the Word to orient me to reality, service to my family, running behind that as it brings me alive to be in the woods for long periods of time, hopefully ing that order. I would put service to my home group and church family ahead of running if I wanted to be correct, but I'm trying to be honest first. We'll see how things pan out. I want to run the Highlands Sky 40 miler, the VT 50 with Samual Miller, and the Pinhoti 100. In fact, after the Highlands Sky, I want to run a 50 or 50K monthly till Pinhoti. That will help me keep the drinking and the tobacco in check. I need the help. Otherwise, I lose focus and overindulge. Anybody out there can help me be accountable.

Daily run: Three runs a week right now to get into it. 3.45 miles, 35:32 minutes. Average hr:142, Max 154. Tried to keep it under 150 for the run. Right ankle hurting throughout and tweaked inside of right knee, slowed on last .5 to ease it.
