This is an excellent video clip that I came across on HappyNews.com. It is a great illustration of the power of prayer, faith and positive expectancy.

This video is awesome. I hope people take it to heart, unplug from the media insanity and cultivate good thinking and positive productive habits. (Lyrics below video) – Munro

Lyrics:
To be a survivor in this Amazing Race with the Need For Speed you need God’s Grace and if your Desperate like Housewives watching Days of Our Lives, you can’t cope without hope and that’s not on a soap. If you are looking to Oprah or Dr. Phil you can shop non-stop or pop a pill, but the void won’t fill and the pain won’t kill til you love the One that hung on the hill.

Kicking back in your Lazy-Boy easy chair watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, nah your not gonna find it there. No American Idol or Council Tribal has the final answer that will satisfy ya. C.S.I. ain’t got a clue; S.V.U. don’t know what to do. Not the ER or the OC, nothin’ on a CD, TV, DVD or MP3 can save you and me.

CNN has got no Good News. Here’s a headline: You Must Choose. It’s not a Simple Life Paris Hilton. It’s treading on thin ice living in sin. You can be an Apprentice for Donald Trump or eat Fear Factor fast food from a dump you can be a heavy hitter or Wheel of Fortune winner or a Fox News no spin spinner or flat sinner but you better check this life that your livin’ and make sure your sins are forgiven.

I bet cha 50 Cent Elvis done come and went, and eventually every Black-Eyed-Pea, Gwen Stefani, P-Diddy and Britney; every wanna-be on MTV with their Icy Bling; every Dixie Chick that sings, they all gonna see the King of Kings.

Today was my longest training run to date: 16 miles in 2:37 = 104 laps around the Pleasant Grove Recreation Center indoor track. Ugh, I’m feeling a little dizzy. Previous to this my longest run had been the 14 miler I ran last Saturday.

I wanted to run outside, but the air was a bit cold and I wasn’t prepared with the right gear. I’m determined to get some good outdoor training in soon though!

This entry will give a basic break-down of the pre-run meal, the run itself, post run meal + some bonus tips & tricks I’ve used in my training so far.

With the Salt Lake City Marathon a month and a half away (Apr. 17) I still have a lot of intense training ahead. I’m trying to be careful about not pushing too hard so that I can prevent any onset of injury.

Pre-run meal

I had one Eggo Waffle and 1 slice of bread, both with peanut butter and Miller’s Creamy Honey on it. I also had a 1.5 oz. shot of Activ Healthy Chocolate, a handful of grapes and half a banana. I intended to start my run one hour after eating, but didn’t end up getting out the door until two hours later. I was a little concerned that I wouldn’t have the fuel needed for the long run.
