We run around Green Lake every Tuesday, 6 p.m., and for most of them, this is their easy run and they are serious (and very helpful and supportive runners); several did the marathon Sunday, one actually ran two marathons over the holiday weekend, another did three. But the best part is, they are a very relaxed group. Oh, BTW, we ran last night as the mercury hit about 38-39. I ran in shorts and short sleeves (but with mittens). You are such the wimp. ;) I think you should join the group of runners I’ve fallen in with.

Who knows what your schedule might be after that? Right now, you have the time should you need more than four hours to complete runs. You'll build up speed then for when you have less time later, right? :-) You could always try running the track at the campus fitness center when it's cold, too.

The BT is what we called it. (The Men and boys lived on the same "Campus" back then). Looking back 20+ years later, I can honestly say that the program they ran there made a positive impact on my life. The Bible Tabernacle takes the worst of the worst and gives them a chance that might not receive anywhere else. trust me when i say this, the Bible Tabernacle is not for the weak, these are hard men, who have lived hard lives. It's not easy for some people to live the straight and narrow, whether it be nature or nurture; the hand that was dealt in life. Sink or swim. Do they deserve that chance? Chances? Fate, Destiny, God, the Courts...whatever you choose to believe has rolled the dice for this man. How will he fair in his test? I'm in no way affiliated with the Bible Tabernacle.. I spent some of the best and worst years of my life there. I just had happened to be thinking back to my childhood tonight...and those I shared it with.
