9 Pax took to the track for some mile repeats on a beautiful morning at Laces Out.

The Thang:

WU: Mile warm up pace around the track.

Run 1 mile at a 10k or 5K race pace.  Quarter mile recovery.  Rinse and repeat until 5:45.  Slow cool down mile to close it out.  I believe some got 3 or 4 in?

NMM: Sounds easy but mile repeats hurt.  I’m glad I was recovering and got to take it easy. The rest of the pax had the honor of chasing Blades around the track most of the morning.  Blades is new to The Fort coming from Metro but not new to running I assure you.  Glad to have you and hope to see you back!

It was good catching up with you Cakeboss and Deacon.  I asked Deacon how Ray was doing (The 7 yr old boy who passed away last Wednesday night who was in Deacon’s Lifegroup).  Not knowing at the time that Ray had gone to be with his Creator just a few hours before.  I only had the privilege of meeting Ray once.  But being around him for that short time really showed me how precious life can be.  Even though my time with him was short, his passing has really rocked me.  The death of a child is something I have a really hard time wrapping my head around.  So many questions why an innocent sole would need to be taken early.  This is one that constantly challenges my Faith in the Lord.  I know I have to trust in God and his plan is the right plan even if it makes no sense to me.  Matthew 19:14  Deacon said it’s funny how I kid like that ends up teaching you about Faith and Grace thru God.  #perspective  Thank you Deacon for the impact you made on Ray’s life.

Prayers for Ray’s family as they deal with their loss.  Also Cakeboss’s sister and her battle with cancer.
