The year of the HALF

by doug on January 4, 2010

One of my goals this year is to make it the year of the Half-Marathon.  I ran the Chicago Marathon in 2006 and loved the experience, but don’t have the time or motivation to train for a full marathon this year.  But wanting to establish a better pattern of running and ultimately health in my life I’m committing to run 3 half-marathons this year.  It won’t be all at once but hey, that’s 39.3 miles of races.  Here are the dates:

Indianaoplis Mini-Marathon – May 8th

Chicago Rock ‘n’ Roll Half-Marathon – August 1st

Tulsa’s Route 66 Half- Marathon – November 21st

Anyone want to join me in any of these?

How are you going to invest in your growth in 2010?

November 25, 2009

It’s a simple question I’m asking myself.  Every year I choose several books I want to read through in the new year.  I’ll post a list later on.  Reading is a huge part of it, but there are other things as well:

exercise
diet
Spiritual habits
learning experiences such as conferences (could be for your marriage, spiritual growth, leadership [...]

Leading with a Limp

November 24, 2009

This book by Dan Allender is a revolutionary approach to leadership.  I know that the book has been out a few years but somehow I missed it.  Or perhaps I could say that I read it at exactly the time in my life when I needed to read it.  The premise of the book is [...]

The waiting continues…

November 21, 2009

It’s ironic that in the midst of The Waiting Room series we are forced to delay our annual Oklahoma Thanksgiving trip with possibility of canceling. The flu hit 3 of our kids and it has delayed our trip thus far. It’s frustrating waiting without knowing whether or not we will be able to [...]

Enough for today

November 18, 2009

I’ve been doing a little reflection on the concept of the waiting room that we are using for our current message series.  You can find the others here and here.
Today I’d like to reflect a little on the experience the Israelites had in between when they were slaves in Egypt and when they entered their [...]

The fine art of “sitting with it”

November 17, 2009

I’m continuing some reflection on the waiting room of life.  You can read the other post here.
Someone gave me a compliment yesterday.  They told me that they saw real growth in me recently.
For me, my greatest growth has come because I gave myself over to a process of transformation where I have allowed someone, a [...]

Don’t do something, just sit there

November 16, 2009

On Sunday, Greg at Suncrest challenged us to do nothing for 7 days.  If you find yourself in the waiting room of life, maybe the best thing you can do is just wait.  Here is a phrase that grabbed me:
When it comes to waiting, I think transaction; God thinks transformation.
One of the things I have [...]

Someone really has some issues

November 13, 2009

Every time we do a direct mail campaign we always get a positive response and a not so positive response.  We typically get a few phone calls from recipients at the office explaining that they are Catholic or whatever and would NOT like to receive mailings from us.  Or we will receive a note saying [...]
