Re: The Road To Crockett Park Is Paved With Change

I appreciate your willingness to let us in on your journey. Over the last few years I have experienced significant change which has been accompanied by stress. One way I have been able to endure is through exercise but more importantly through friendships made as I run or ride or... This Thursday when I run in Crockett Park I will be thinking of your story and remembering that we are all 'pressing toward a new goal,' being changed by Christ. Philippians 3:12-14

Hey Spence...

I heard a very successful person state one time that, "nothing becomes dynamic until it becomes specific" So true, While we all may have goals, stating them, looking at them and living them I think makes them become so real and obtainable.

It does help to live in a healthy state for sure....a big reason my family and I are moving there this year.

PS - To your question..some of it is in my head for sure, but I working on writing them down and living them

That's OK. You're a husband and a dad. Plus you travel periodically. And how many more excuses (valid or otherwise) can we come up with? Now to head over to your new post and read it.

I realized that I have not been to your site in a while. And I see it has been a few months since your last entry. (It happens and I know my blog is in the same boat and possibly even further back.) It was great to see you in St. Paul in December w/ the Michael W Smith concert. I like what you wrote here. It adds a great perspective for any blogger specifically and to anyone doing social media in general.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, I just completed my first marathon this past weekend and have the Saint Jude's half planned for the first week of Dec. I didn't get the time I wanted on my first marathon but I look forward to improving my time for when I do my next one, thanks again.

Sometimes it takes a simple mind to get what we've made too complicated. I could do Kindergarten again. :)

thanks Kyle! Some days i think we should all go back to kindergarten and take a lesson on treating people:)

Great post Spence. Love this key sentence: "You treat people who work for you and with you well because one day you might actually need to work for them or work alongside them in a completely different capacity."

Totally agree. To springboard...in essence, the "college degree" is your first credible foundational "relationship". Advanced degrees being the exception. It is simply a piece of paper issued by a (hopefully) respectable institution that says "We have tested this person in various ways and they have been found trustworthy."

When you leave college, hopefully, the first "Who you know" is the institution that will vouch for you! But then, you must start networking other "who you knows" in order to get ahead.

Great information. How large can you blog up a iphone photo. I have been using the app Camera+ all summer and the pictures are amazing but not sure about how the quality will hold up once blown up. Do you know?

Re: Four Steps To Running Injury Free

MC — Sun, 18 Aug 2013 15:43:46 -0000

Hi!
I love running! Since my shin splints,plantar fasciitis,and runners knee (all at the same time), i havent been running in months. I thought i was doing everthing right, warming up, stretching and applying ice afterwards. I even went to my running store for the running "exam". I bought a pair of Nike Air Pegasus. What am i doing wrong? Should i retire running for good?

Congrats on your race Spence!! I am interested to hear if someone is coaching you for these goals or if you are setting up your own program. I've had to stop long distance running because I developed an exercise induced/arrhythmia/conduction issue. However, I also need to reshape my body, lose about 10-15lbs so on. But, I can run, like you said, quicker and shorter. Would love to hear more on how you'll get to your goals!
