Indoor track season begins


Tim's first-ever indoor track season is upon us. It is the first time Calvin has run indoor track. He will be trying his skills in three indoor meets: the first of which is scheduled for this Friday, February 15. He plans to run the one-mile, just to get some speed going in his legs. He will then run a 3K on the 22nd of February, followed by a 5K on February 29. I cannot imagine running on an indoor track, nothing but curves, as hard as you can, for something like 15 minutes (and hopefully much less than that...), but he is a glutton for such punishment.

I will be sending e-mail updates through this month of indoor track, and on into the outdoor season. If you would like to be on that list, leave a comment here or send me a private e-mail. If you were on last year's list, you are still on this year's list. I'll also try to post pictures and updates here whenever I can get the photos.

We would appreciate your prayers for Tim. Track is a grueling season, with lots of mileage (now about 80 miles a week), challenging weather for training, hard speed work-outs, and many meets. Please pray for the Lord to gift Tim with wisdom and health, and the discipline to care well for that body of his. And ask that the Lord continue to use Tim's running as a platform for witness to our great God.
