Since I started my running up again, it has not been too bad. Last Sunday I ran a 9 mile course. It took 2 hours. Way too long, but I have a benchmark. I ran the first 5 miles in an hour and then the last 4 in an hour. I am also working with my personal trainer once a week to insure some balance. Jennifer will be running her half marathon this weekend and I think she will do well. I will take some pics and post them when it is over. Things are going pretty well so we will just keep it up.
Just got through listening to the President speak on Katrina, this is a quite interesting time. This event was an example of the devastation that mother nature can deliver. It has opened up the political floodgates - too bad because it has made me angry. Politicians, media, and others only want to talk about who is to blame - like they can blame anyone. Politicians have used this event to expand thier agenda, I dare say none of them have any idea what pain people are really feeling. How many have opened there houses up to those effected. How many have given thier time and money, without it being a press event. It is times like this when I realize how bad it really can get at times like this. Enough of that. As far as what we are doing, our church is sending money, we are doing a number of special events, and we will have an adult mission trip within 6 months to provide help in re-building.
Got to keep running so that I can be in shape for the trip. Oh well, talk with you later.
