i have been on call this weekend, i had someone who was going to cover for me yesterday so i could run, but my neck/shoulder/back was hurting too bad to move, much less run. so i got some rest and alternated heat and cold packs on the spot that was hurting. it felt much better today and it continues to get better as the day goes on. this afternoon i did not have anyone to cover my call but i thought i would try to run and carry my phone in case i had a call. the only call i got was right at 1/2 a mile and i talked to the lady until i was just a little past the 1 mile point. considering i walked that half a mile or a little more, i think my time was pretty good. my pace was 11:14 min per mile. these are my 1/2 mile splits for the run:
.5= 4.19 152
1.0= 11.27 7.08 146
1.5= 17.21 5.53 150
2.0= 22.46 5.24 165
2.5= 28.14 5.28 166
3.0= 33.53 5.39 166
3.5= 39.22 5.28 165
4.0= 45.04 5.42 165
4.5= 50.54 5.49 165
5.0= 56.33 5.39 164
5.5= 62.09 5.35 164
6.0= 67.34 5.24 162
6.5= 73.10 5.35 160
7.0= 78.45 5.35 162
7.5= 84.17 5.32 160
8.0= 89.56 5.39 165
i came 2-3 feet from stepping on another snake tonight. i think this one was a copperhead, i think all 3 that i have nearly stepped on have been copperheads. but it is usually dark and i am usually past them before i realize what they are, but they have all appeared to have some pattern on their backs.
thought of the day: i was just watching a movie i bought at hollywood video that is going out of business. it is navy seal iv. they talk about how it is ok for 1 or 2 people to die so that hundreds or millions could be saved. that made me think of Jesus. He allowed people to kill him and go through a horrible death so that millions could be saved eternally. how much more important is that? another quote from the movie was "freedom comes with a price, and the price is payed in blood." that too reminded me of the freedom we gain through Christ and His blood.
