God's Presence

If my path be smooth or rugged, If with thorns or roses strewn. Where I go the Father seetih, And He will leave me not alone.

If I take the wings of morning far within the giant sea, Even there His hand will lead me, Even there my God will be.

Though the gloom of night be round me, Though I cannot see my way, Yet the Lord will see and guide me, Because unto Him the night is day.

If my thoughts are good or evil, Set me think to hide them not. There is One above all seeing, and He beholdeth every thought.

And ever more my eyes beholds me, And all my ways to Him are known, And His loving arms enfolds me, He will leave me not alone.

Just Starting the Road to 200!

As I continue to figure out how I want to manage my blog and for what purposes I will be maintaining it, the start to a new year of running is well underway. I have already completed my first race of the year up in Wisconsin on January 8th. There were a little over 700 runners braving the cold and wind on that winter day, but we all had an enjoyable run and the opportunity to start off the new year on the right foot (I was 3rd in my age group and 140th overall). I am preparing to fly out to Arizona this Friday to run my first ultra for the year. The Coldwater Rumble 50k in Goodyear, AZ will start my epic journey through the trials and tribulations that lay before me as I train to run 200 miles this July in Pennsylvania. I will keep you posted on my progress with pictures, hopefully video, and blog posts. I am also in the process of trying to connect with a couple charities to raise some money while I endure the elements and each mile along the way. I will keep you posted on which charities I will be running for. I have also most recently joined the UltraRunning Team: Ink n' Burn, through which I hope gain some valuable insight, knowledge, support, and camaraderie as I travel across the US to run different courses.

    Hi Gabe. Have you talked to Beth Dessner? She's forming a team to raise money for Miles 4 Muscles Iowa in honor of Dave. The team will be running the Dam to Dam 20k in June. Good luck with your training! I'll be reading and admiring.
