Back from a much needed vacation in the mountains… and I’m nursing a skin crack in my heel. Lots of lotion to heal it up, so I’ll walk until that’s done. Which sucks, because it’s not fires-of-hell hot out here. Hoping to be back at it later in the week.

Took advantage of 69° and breezy. What was to be a slow jog turned into speed work. That was actually not awful.

And thank you, Ozzy, for the push that last 1/4 mile. Rest easy. 🤘🏻🥹

81° at 4:30 AM is just disrespectful. Good thing I only have two more months of this inferno.

Oh well. I did it. 🏃‍♂️

I (Job) helped those without hope, and they blessed me. And I caused the widows’ hearts to sing for joy.

#JubileeVerses

With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless; with the purified you deal purely, and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.

Sore legs from Sunday’s run. It should be illegal to be this hot before the sun comes up. And it’s trash day, which meant a multitude of wondrous awful aromas hitting my nose every ten seconds. 🤢

Oh well. I did it. 🏃‍♂️

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them. If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say, “Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.”

Fuck off, NC heat and humidity. I did it. 🏃‍♂️

A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the village gate. The young man who had died was a widow’s only son, and a large crowd from the village was with her. When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion.

And they had a few small fish. And having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them. And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.
‭‭

And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.” And he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.

And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away.” And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place?”

In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat.

Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.

I know jogging in this devil’s nut sack heat and humidity will pay off in cooler temps, but DAYUM.

Stiff knees, sore hip, and no breeze. I’m sweating in places I didn’t know could sweat.

Oh well, I did it. 🏃‍♂️

#JubileeVerses

A man with leprosy came and knelt in front of Jesus, begging to be healed. “If you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean,” he said. Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” Instantly the leprosy disappeared, and the man was healed.

Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked. “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.” Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

Trying to get back to three runs a week. The quads violently objected the entire run. I told them to hush and keep going.

It’s hot and juicy out here. Go home, summer. You’re drunk.

Oh well, I did it. 🏃‍♂️
