Slow
Sorry,
I have been a bit slow in my blogging. I think a lot of that has to do with my propensity towards “Twitter”. Twitter.com is a tool that allows me to jot down quick thoughts with no more than 140 characters.
That tends to be how I think. More in short bursts of “genius” as opposed to long multi-paragraph blog posts.

Trying to get faster.
This weekend I am running my first 5K. Katie picked up running last year, and has inspired me to give it a try. I still hate running, but I enjoy the completion! One trick I have found that works for me is what I listen to.
I have a hard time engaging in Music. When I can’t engage, I start to think about my running… not a good thing. Additionally, the rhythm starts to get me in unnatural pacing. I don’t really set my own pace, the music sets it for me.
I have started listening to sermons/messages. It engages my mind elsewhere. AND, a little exposure to the Word can’t help much either!.
Any other tips for a new runner?
