We are going to run at the lake this week. We'll meet at the dog park lot on Mockingbird. We're going to start a 5 mile out-and-back at 7AM and then some of us will do an additional 9 mile loop for 14 miles total. If you want to just do the 9 mile run with us, let us know and we'll meet you at 8 AM when we get back to the dog park.
Pick a distance and come run with us and we'll all run with Him together.
For in him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28

Saturday 2/23
I am out of town again this weekend but James will be ready to run the Chisholm Trail Saturday morning at 7 am. If you can make it, let him know and meet him at Einstein Bros Bagels parking lot on the south side of 15th Street just west of Central Exwy in Plano. You can confirm with him at jamesjodi@gmail.com. The trail sets up very well for various distances so go out and join him. I'll be back to run with you next week.
Bruce, Joel and I had a great time running the AT&T half last Saturday in Austin. The weather was perfect and it was a very well organized race. The course was extremely difficult (hills throughout) and a serious lesson in perseverance. Joel and I hammered on 1 Corinthians 10:13 throughout the race and he had it down pretty well by the end. Bruce, in the meantime, blew by us and clocked an impressive 2:18. We had one direct inquiry about the Team Journey jerseys along the way and many others surely saw them as well.
Assurance of Victory
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful, he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Cor 10:13

This weekend Bruce, Joel and I will be flying the Team Journey colors at the AT&T Austin Marathon. We'll be running the half. **correction** Heath Johnson will be here for those of you that would like to run Saturday morning. He will be at the dog park on Mockingbird at 7 AM to run around the lake.
James is running from 2-4 p.m. at a location tbd. The determination will occur if someone once to join him for all or part of his 14 mile journey. Please let James know if you are planning to join him at jamesjodi@gmail.com.
We've had a number of women ask if this is a men's only group. Definitely not. So far, the women that have indicated an interest haven't shown up but its just a matter of time. In my running club experience, there has always been a greater number of women running than men.
We've also had people ask about pace and distance. As we've said before, don't let those concerns keep you at home on the couch. Get up and run, you'll be glad you did.
I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Phillipians 4:13.

Hello everyone,
This week there is a half marathon and a 5K at the lake so I think we should avoid the crowd and meet at the church at 7 am and run the trail.
As always, let me know if you can make it. My cell for last minute contacts is 214-202-3366.
Going forward, I am trying to be very short and sweet with the emails since keeping up with email seems to be more and more overwhelming. I'll stick to the critical details for the weekly run and we'll use the blog to fill in the color commentary.
This Saturday 2/9 I am planning to run about 6 miles so it will probably be the loop to Moss Park. Those that want to run longer can go further out or add the north loop when we get back to the church. I think the north loop adds about 2 miles to Spring Valley and back.
I was at Summit this morning and Todd talked about the "dash" - the line that separates the year of your birth from the year of your death. What really matters, he said, is what happens in the dash. There is no doubt that life is short and we need to be very intentional about how we spend our time. And, most of you know that its easy to spend a large amount of time training for races. Therein lies the beauty of Team Journey - it allows us to put the time spent running to use for His glory.
Join us and make your running an act of worship.

Saturday 2/2 Post Run
Although we had a small turnout this morning, (James, Bruce and I) the run was great. Kudos to Joel for pointing us to the Chisholm Trail. The trail is really beautiful and has a lot of advantages that make it a good selection to add to our regular rotation. It runs along both sides of a creek (White Rock?), has water fountains fairly evenly spaced and has numerous bridges that will allow loops of different distance. Starting and ending at the Einsteins was great for ease of parking and a post run coffee as well. The trail was well populated with runners, not too many bikers, and seemed to be safe.
I hope those of you who are battling the flu or whatever is going around, feel better soon. It is wise, especially this time of the year, to take a multi-vitamin daily. Running distance, especially 15k and up, will definitely tear down your immune system and leave you vulnerable after a hard work-out.

Fellow Journeymen and Journeyladies,
This Saturday is Groundhog Day - Will Joel see his shadow? To find out, you're going to have to meet us at 7:00 AM at the Einsteins Bros. Bagel store that is about one-block west of I-75 on the south side of 15th Street in Plano (street view in Google Maps is really cool.) From there, Joel has promised to give us a guided tour of the Chisholm trail . We'll do an out and back so come and run whatever time and pace works for you. I don't know if there are working water fountains so I would suggest carrying your fluid of choice.
I hope to see you there. As always, if you can make it let me know and for last minute contacts, my cell is 214-202-3366.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.

Saturday 2/2 Clarification
For those of you that haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting Joel, I should probably clarify. He's like a younger brother - and you know you have to work your little brother - even though you love him. No doubt I'll pay for it later . . .
