Gone for the Weekend

today i did it again. i ran another fastest 3 miles. i was worried that i might not be able to since i just ran 5 miles yesterday, but i pushed and pushed and i did it. here are the times:



1m: 8:51 (not too bad)

1.5m: 13:08 (4:16)

2m: 17:26 (4:18)

3m: 26:21 (8:54)



so that gives me a pace of 8:46/mile, my best by far. i did this 3 miles 50 seconds faster than my 3 miles on monday and 33 seconds faster than my previous fastest 3 miles. i am pretty happy right now.



i also got to shoot my bow today. i had to do a little sight adjustment, due to the work i had done on it the other day, but very minor. i took 11 shots at 50 yards, and shot one of my best groups at that range so far. i also shot a little at 20, 30, and 40 yards to make sure it was sighted in. at 50 yards i put 3 arrows in a 3 inch circle and all but 2 of the other arrows very close to the circle. the other 2 arrows would still have been in the kill zone. i can't complain too much about that!



i will be on a hiking trip this weekend so i will not be able to blog. so this will be the last blog until monday. our hiking trip has us doing 10 miles on saturday, 9 miles on sunday, and 1-2 miles on monday. hopefully i will be able to get back on the running schedule even though i will not be taking a rest day on sunday.



the thought of the day comes from several discussions we have had at work recently and from an e-mail i got today that had an inspirational quote in it. the thought is this: i do not care what color of skin a person has, they are still my brother/sister in Christ. Christ does not see people for their color of skin, we are all God's children, all His creation. i would think any non-Jewish Christian would be able to see this because if you remember, the Jews were God's chosen people and His salvation was luckily extended to the gentiles because He loved us ALL. i do not remember reading that the white race was superior in The Bible. if you have any prejudice in your heart you need to get it out NOW. i do not think it is right for minorities always playing that card and trying to use it to take advantage of another race, but man, we are all people, lets just love and respect each other. i would think with the intelligence we have in the world now racism would cease to exist. but i guess when you have pride and self love in the world evil will be there too (or maybe it's the other way around).
