Random Musings

It’s been months since I cleared my head of some random musings:

  • I’ve had this word that I can’t get out of my mind for over 3 weeks now. Genuine. I’ve been contemplating what it means to be a truly Genuine person. I was thinking about how the people I’m most drawn to are Genuine people. You know, the people most real and honest in the way they live their lives. The people who are the same genuine person, no matter the situation or environment. Are there any of these people left in the world? Because I have a hard time finding them, even in my own mirror.
  • I finished week 3 in my new running regime. I’m using the Couch-to-5k program from CoolRunning.com. It’s been a fun run, but I feel like the worst is yet to come.
  • This weekend I get to put Dallas in my rearview mirror. I’m headed to Missouri -Roaring River State Park, to do some fishing and golfing. To clarify, I’ll be fishing for trout and golfing for torture.
  • I got a new tech toy this week. Introducing the Cingular 3125. This little phone is awesome, giving me all the cool Windows Mobile things I desire, and still small enough to lose it just about anywhere.
  • I’ve finally gotten around to reading Blue Like Jazz, by Donald Miller. I’m about 100 pages into it, and I must say. I like it. I like it a lot. Growing up in ‘The Church’, I can relate to most of what he writes about. A very interesting read indeed.
  • And I want to introduce you to two blogs that I’ve been daily readers of for a few weeks now. I in no way endorse their content as a Pastor, but…. Check Them out. Indexed & Fireflies in the Clouds.

I’m doing something I haven’t done in years. I’m running. And I’m not even running from someone, or something; just running for no real reason at all. As I head into my 30′s I’ve noticed my stamina not being what it should be, and I had a thought the other day that kind of scared me. Do I want to look back in 20 years when my body is much older and wish I had done more to take care of myself? Now my running is purely for fitness reasons, I have no weight to lose.

I’ll keep a running update on my running in the weeks to come. (Pun intended.) I’m using the Couch-to-5K Running program from coolrunnings.com. This running program seems perfect for the beginner, not to hard at first, but gradually getting more and more difficult over the 9 week program. And I’m using these super great FREE podcasts from Robert Ullrey that I found online. There is a different podcast for each week’s running program. The podcast are great because they have this cheesy running music that makes you feel like you are in a music video, and verbal queues ato tell you to run or walk at the appropriate times.

Anyways…. Here’s hoping all my running gets me somewhere.(Pun intended, again.)
