Wilt Thou Be Made Whole?

RUN 10 miles in 1:35?

Met TH for a run on an entirely new section of KT. The first hour with her was 7 miles, the next 3 miles felt like an hour, but it was only 30-ish mins. I needed some podcast distraction and some timer help. Much better running with her.

I'm in a bit of a mental spiral, with the Dr's appts this week maybe some answers will help.

I turned on the AM radio last night for dinner and was sucked in by a sermon (from E STL!) that stuck with me, that discussed a passage from John 5, hence the post title. The sermon said it as Wilt Thou Be Made Free, but Google and a few other references say Whole.

In more reading and listening, I've learned this means -- are you willing to change?

Why, YES. I am willing to change. So it was interesting, and probably how I got sucked in, to have this come on the eve of Phase 3, which begins today.

My goals for now are to get on a more productive track for life, to not get stuck in mindlessness, and keep moving. I have this elaborate challenge worked up, and since I'm a triathlete it naturally has spread sheets!

Oh, and about the run itself! My back felt like it did yesterday -- tight, poppy, weak, uncomfortable. My energy was better with TH, which goes to show the power of mental energy for running. I still don't feel terribly rested!

NUMERICS
RUN 46.1 miles running in 7:17
BIKE COMMUTE 25.6 miles
WALKIES 25.6 miles (really, the same number!)

My 15 mins of stretch, foam roll, or strength fell off this week, but I did set it as a goal for Phase 3.
