I did get to run last monday, 4 miles a little slower than on saturday. other than that exercising is pretty minimial. i also got nearly 3 dozen duck decoys strung, i have one dozen left and have to put anchors on the all as well. zeke and i have gotten most of the boat blind put on. we had to order a few things so when that comes in we should be able to finish in no time.
i did get off on saturday because one of the vets needed to switch so i hunted instead of running in the 1/2 marathon. should have ran in the 1/2. it was very warm and windy and deer were not moving very well. that is really all i have for now.
lesson of the day: you don't always need a lesson of the day.

Busy Weekend, Back on Track (somewhat)
i did get back on track a little this weekend, even though it was pretty busy. i was off this weekend, the first weekend since the first weekend in october. however, we did have a partner's meeting at 6:30am saturday. so, on my day off i had to get up for that. it was probably good since i did get up and going. saturday was the youth hunt, otherwise i would have skipped the meeting to be in the woods. after the meeting i came home and ran 4 miles. it was a little harder this time as compared to 6 weeks ago when i was running regular. my time was 37:28, so not too bad, but my body felt it a little more than usual.
after that emily, my uncle and i left for knoxville. it was the first time i had seen the vols play in 2 years! it was exciting though, black jerseys, stomping spurrier, what could be better! i did miss taking my nephew on the youth hunt though. i would have taken him this afternoon but i had to teach a class at church, none of the kids showed up for the class.
we got in today from knoxville and i took a short nap and got up and rode my new bike for about 40 minutes, decent workout, but i was picking up cans to recycle too and there were more cans today than i had seen in a long time.
i did get my hunting stuff together tonight to prepare for muzzle loader season. i will not be able to run the clarksville 1/2 marathon this weekend because i have to work (not that i am in real good shape to run it). i thought about switching my weekends so i could run in the 1/2 but figured if i was going to have this coming weekend off i would rather be hunting than running, since it is the opening of muzzle loader season.
tomorrow, bow season opens back up after the youth hunt but i don't think i will get to hunt then either. in the morning i have to get some supplies to help my cousin build a duck blind for his boat, then i am going with my uncle to pick up his dog from the trainer in grand junction (2.5 hours away), then my cousin and i are going to work on building the blind tomorrow night. i think hunting with my cousin out of boat blinds we have killed a total of 1 duck. but, it never hurts to be prepared for that one day that the ducks come pouring in! i just know one of these days we are going to get lucky.
i will keep everyone updated on my running so you all will know where to come watch me when i do get ready to run a marathon. hopefully i will get up in time to run in the morning.
lessons of the day: know when the youth hunt is to plan your fall college football schedule. every hurdle in life can be looked at like it is a hurdle of it can be viewed as something to make us stronger. everyone who is against us can be viewed as our enemy or as people who make life more challenging/interesting. be thankful for all of these hurdles and people, don't let them break you, they will make you a better person, they have made you who you are today.
