hey so it was Tuesday and i really wanted to push my self.. i wanted to see how far i could make it in an hour, my goal was to try to do 25 miles in 2 hours.. when i realized that ironman biking is a 20-30mph sport and i am only doing 10mph... that rang a bell a really loud bell you could say i really, really, really, really, have alot of work to do... so i tried pushing harder this time.. and thankfully i had made it to the McCoy cut off and was on my way back before the 1 hour marker went off.. whoooooooooo i can not begin to tell you how excited i was... at one point when i check my speed i was keeping up a 12mph pace.. when i finished the route i had finished with a 11.6mph pace.. i little disappointing, but really stoked at the same time because i made it back to the house before the second hour maker had went off on my alarm... man... that is totally cool... it was amazing feeling to reach that kind of goal.. i think if i can hit those goals Thursday and Friday as well then next week i might actually try to hit 30 miles in 2 hours if i can..
I have been taking time to pour over Isaiah 46 lately.. God is the God of all. He declares that over his people and the earth. i can help but think through that and pray through that on my rides... i pray and pray and pray God would come speak to me like he did the prophets of old, not that i am a prophet by any means, but i seek out his voice in the early mornings none the same.. i have really focused lately on Jesus Blood covering my sin, and that in My God's sight i am blameless because of that, and because of that i have been asking him, even saying to him in prayer, "lord my sins are covered, i am a Son, Jesus died so that i could be called that, please father as a Son come and speak to me, allow me to hear your voice give me Directions God as a son of your please Father speak to me." i share this so you to know that i desires the things that you do. God still speaks through scripture to us, but i have a longing for him to give oral direction to my life, to help me be even more deeply in love with him then i could ever imagine, in turn praying that that too would help me to refrain from the sin that traipse through out my life that i too fight against as well.
keep going, don't quit, we can do this, through God's grace, His power, and our tenacity... push keep going, and reach the goal you have set, and set another goal. don't give up and be consistent.

Coyotes = Motivation: Week 8
Whoooo I did 30 miles on Sunday.. 2.54 hours... yeah that is on a Mountain Bike.. lots of drag and lots of noise.. that brings me to the wild pack..
I was heading down to the Campbellton cut off which is 15 miles from my house along the access road. i hit the McCoy cut off and was really excited about the next leg until about a mile into on a down hill... have you ever heard a baby rabbit get caught by a dog before.. they kind have a squeaky scream to them... and that was exactly what my bike started to sound like. Really that's no big deal to me, my bike often sound like that as i get later in to routes.. but on this day that was the worst thing it could sound like.. ha ha.. I grew up in the country, i have been around alot things, even been out when some coyotes have been out, but this bunch of coyotes i heard that were not to far from the road, sounded like a pack of 20+.. needless to say sounding like a baby rabbit being caught in the middle of no where armed with just a pocket knife that I carry, didn't seem like the place to pick a stand against a bunch of Coyotes... ha ha i know some other routes that are in town the could help me accomplish the same thing..
so with that in mind.. i turned the bike around, and boogied up a really big hill. it was great motivation for me to peddle faster that was for sure. it was about a mile before i didn't hear them any more..
so the next time you are out cycling in the early morning hours or evening hours and you don't feel like you have enough motivation, just don't oil you bike down, or carry a small sound device that plays the sounds of a rabbit being caught by a dog, and you can have some Coyotes give you some motivation to move a little bit faster..
it has been a great Sunday, and feel really good about accomplishing the goal of 30 miles and keeping a 10 mph pace.. that is until we figured out that to do 115 miles in an iron man you have to keep closer to a 20-30mph pace.. so yeah i have some work to do to really push my self.
this continues to be a great time of prayer for me, and just speaking to God and asking him to come and speak to me give me direction, insight, and to fall more deeply in love with him through out my day. I try to focus on that the most before my my drifts off to other prayer request and or to some foreign land of thought that is random in my head as i push up and the down the hills.
again i want to encourage all of you.. i have not gotten where i am today so far by make huge adjustments in my life... my goal still is consistency, it's not to loose weight but go the distance, then after distance it's a better/quality time within that distance. the other half of the goal of consistency is not to give up, not to quit, to keep going.. I don't know what your goals are for the new year, but keep going, do not give up, be Consistent, and most importantly pray through the goals you have set before yourself to make sure they are the Goals that God wants you to try to accomplish.. don't give up, you can do this.. aaaaaarrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ! even if it takes a little Coyote motivation... ha ha.

Honk, big eyes, just don't.......
Hey welcome to week 6.... I am sorry I didn't post on week 5 I was out of town in the country, and my mom is still on dial up.. "there should be a law against that right" ha ha ha
Honk: so I was back at my parents week and I flirted with 20 miles a day... Wolfffff man was I glad I was on vacation.. The first day I came up short, but I was at the bottom of what though was a huge hill.. Ha ha not as big as the one I had to climb getting back home.. Ha ha... One of the coolest things that happen was a trucker Honked at me.. It wasn't , "hey get of my way honk", it was a, " hey man keep going, don't give up" kind of a Honk.. Man that pushed me into my 21 mile a day.. Is was stellar../ it's crazy how a little bit of encouragement goes such a long ways.. Too bad we as Christians aren't trying to tell people, "you can" in stead of, "your never gonna make it" so for all those who honk a atta boy honk!! Especially that trucker an another little black car! You guys rock thanks so much for being a encouragement in that way..
Big eyes: That starts week 6. Sooooo I had gotten up to 20 miles in week 5... Dude at this point the last thing I want to do is get out of Bed and start my ride in the mornings.... Seriously, some mornings are cold, windy, cold and windy (ha ha ha), and sometimes a late start.. Soooooo heading to McCoy exit and back is 23 miles.. My eyes were big... Like at the table too big.. (you know you eat to much) when the down hill part to that kicked off i knew i was going to have to come back up. i kept thinking, "maybe i should come turn around now.. no, no, no, i have to keep going" finally here it came McCoy exit one mile. "I made it!!!!!!"
it felt great getting the 23 miles in for two days.. made the 13 miles today easy.. i had gotten some running shoes during our 14 year anniversary spree yesterday so i had to try them out right...
so i ran/jog/walked 1.6 miles after the 13 mile ride.... not a great start to running, but hey it's a start..
Just Don't........ quit: That speaks for it's self..
the spritual aspect that really spoke to me today as i was praying was this: a young man that had come to our church for some community service hours took his life here recently and his family as asked me to do his funeral. When I had heard by what had happen was was sadden in my sprit over this. From the time i had spent working along side of him some, i come to admire his work ethic, and his personality. Seem like a great young man still just trying to seek out direction. This also made me think of the word Akita which is from the boy scout days of Order of the Arrow (long story).. Akita means leader that comes along side of & helps serve. As i thought about this young man i thought, "could i have been a better Akita to him during the time he was here, could i have worked along side him more, and could that have made a better difference in his life, could there have been one more sentence i could have spoken that would have given him more hope then he had to stay instead of go?" I know i feel like many that find themselves in this place. I do know he had a choice, and yes i know i could never make the choice for him. Even Jesus is grieve in spirit over things, when he saw the city, when he came upon the widow and her Son was in the casket, Lazurs, & so forth, i can't help but be sadden as well. Wanting more for a young man who felt that he had nothing else to live for and just wanted it to end. This is not my first funeral of someone who has committed Suicide nor will it be my last i suppose, but Now prayerfully this young man knew Christ and can find the peace he so desperately was searching for even though it was before God was willing to call him home.
As you finish this off today, i don't know where you are, but please don't quit, don't give up, keep calling out for help, but just don't give up prayerfully one of us around you will finally understand, or finally be able to share the words you were looking for, or be able to pray or share a piece of scripture you feel that you just can't find, But most of all, Prayerfully, it will be God's voice, His words, his love, and His presence that will help you the most in the midst of where you are. "Just don't quit"

almost wanted to...... nope! didn't do it.
ok so another comment about the wind, and i wonder how many times my tittle will say that, or i will think i so want to use that tittle again... yeah i came close to putting my foot down on a hill.... i went 15.4 today.. i increced my aveage speed from 10mph to 10.4mph... i really thought i had done worse by the time i got back.. the north wind had really whooped me over when i was coming back into town..
+++Sand-Drops++++ ha ha what is that... huge piles of sand left by sand trucks that have pulled over on the side of the road that are halling sand for the Fracturing process going on down here in south Texas... i almost plowed right into one this morning... they are about 1.5 tall and maybe 2 foot wide.. first when i came on the first one i thought it was a piece of plastic as i ziped by.. but as i was going up hill i spoted some more of them.. and thought, "thank you Gdod for not allowing me to just hit that one ealier" i would of been in the ditch for sure had i hit one of those head on.... i am really surprised at how safe all the people are on the road.. i have been greatful.. the traffic passing me (even though i am riding shoulder) have been moving into a far right lane away from the shoulder when passing me..
during my prayer time in the midst of things this morning i didn't connect as i did in the past, matter of fact i had a real hard time trying to focus on God and praying.. i really was fighting my sinful, evil, and vile heart this morning... how in the world does God forgive us when are hearts ares so evil in actions, and in ways. it was such a hard fight to get to a point of prayer this morning... and when i did it mostly consistently coming to God telling him of how dark my heart is, and asking Him, "how lord do i move this more out of my heart, and move more of you in..." yes i know it's His Word in our lives that helps us to combat these times, thoughts, and desires in our life. i am just allowing you to see, i am a man just like you, i struggle, and often i too encouter the same struggles, thoughts, & actions i have to battle against like you... i was able to stave alot of them off today, but some still creep through.. but don't quit, don't give up, keep working on what you have, and continute to move forward the best that you can... it never hurts to take time after you spent some time in prayer to call a friend and ask them to pray with you during times like this.. that's why we are the body of Christ, that's why we are hear to help each other during the dark times..
have a great night... and thanks to my "foxy wife" for helping me get up out of Bed to start my day this morning, and she had gently reminded me, "the alarm is going off, aren't you going to work out" thanks for not letting me quit before i even got started today.. i love you Faith & you are the best. thank you..

Rhythm, Rain, crazy train, and a blow out
Crazzy Trains this morning, I get back to that in a minute...
I felt great today.. I got more in a rhythm today I think.. 2nd day of my 14 mile route and at the half way point I wanted to go more.. I had to hold myself back... Although I Pushed a .8 out of it...(14.8) and I ha to remember I don't want to quit, I want to be consistent.. Even with two traffic stops for crossing roads or trafficked lights and taking off my glasses for the pouring rain this morning,, I still shaved 1 mints off the rout.. Pulled a 6 minute mile average speed 10mph.. I was excited to go further and shave a minute off my time..
Conditions This was the whole reason I moved to north and south.. The wind was strong this morning..: the Rain was coming Down, and it was awsome...
train man as I come in close to the last mile there is a train crossing.. Well the trains decided to through a Kim in my plan and I had to hit the river park area.. Roads at more narrow and this broke my Rhythm a litte which was the
Most annoying thing.. Oils field traffic is thick down here for sure..
blow out on my shoes of all places.. It's my oldes pair of shoes I had I my arsenal.. A good friend of mine gave them too me.. It was funny and it was in my after walk ride(which will turn into a run later I my training) I was walking and though I had stepped on a big drink bottle, it was kind of dark, could not Belive I missed it.. But ok... Ha ha come back around for my second lap and what did I see... The bottom of my shoe.... Ha ha ha ha had those shoes since 2004... Thanks Scott they were a great lasting gift...
last but not least, the spiritual aspect on the last of my second lap this morning I felt like the Holy Spirit really allowed me to focus on God and express gratitude towards him and praise him in a way I have not gotten to in a while.. It was verry refreshing and memorable time.
Don't quit, don't give up.. Keep moving forward.. It's about consistantcy in what you are doing, don't worry the more you practice the better you will get, and then the more you will be Able to do...
Merry Christmas....

Day of rest, Getting ready for 4th week
I have been consistantly moving forward.. this next week i am going for 12 miles a day on the bike. moving my work out to 1 hr to 1:15-1:30 long start getting up now at 5:15am or 5:30 am now... looking forward to seeing how the new route will be i will be moving from going east & west to going to North and South.. this will definatly more difficult this time of Year, as well as i know that i am increasing elvation of my ride next week as well.
it's so weird pushing my self in this way, thinking of next week goals, and the mental battle begains now... "dude do you really want to do this" i still have some good well meaning freind telling me, " Scotty you are crazy and you will never pull this off, and that you will never going to achive this goal..."
i have no idea how far i will get, but i know i will not give up, i am moving forward, i don't know if i will achive this in a year, or 5 years, but i am moving forward to what God has instore for me as i start this adventrue, prayerfully He will allow me to continue, to push forward and make a differance in my life, the life of my family, my close friends, and my church Family...
to all of you have set a goal, and there have been people been telling you to, "quit, give up, your never gonna make it." let my tell you this....
"Never Give up, you can do it, continue to pray about the goal you set before you, and Don't give up, Never, never, Never, Never give up on the things that God prayerfully have set on your heart, there is a reason He gave you the Goal to being with, you can do it, He will not give you More then what you can bear, find the silver or gold lining in the moments along the way, because there are plenty of Dark days to come... dig Deep, pray hard, and keep moving forward.... There is a great Strength that indwells in you through the Holy Spirit.. Father i would like to pray for the person who is reading this who might feel like giving up, who doesn't want to continue on, who feel the weight of things against them... help them to hear your voice, help them to since your spirit and guide them, speak to them, inspire them and please Father help them to reach out and acomplish the task you set before them...

it's so weird pushing my self in this way, thinking of next week goals, and the mental battle begains now... "dude do you really want to do this" i still have some good well meaning freind telling me, " Scotty you are crazy and you will never pull this off, and that you will never going to achive this goal..."
i have no idea how far i will get, but i know i will not give up, i am moving forward, i don't know if i will achive this in a year, or 5 years, but i am moving forward to what God has instore for me as i start this adventrue, prayerfully He will allow me to continue, to push forward and make a differance in my life, the life of my family, my close friends, and my church Family...
to all of you have set a goal, and there have been people been telling you to, "quit, give up, your never gonna make it." let my tell you this....
"Never Give up, you can do it, continue to pray about the goal you set before you, and Don't give up, Never, never, Never, Never give up on the things that God prayerfully have set on your heart, there is a reason He gave you the Goal to being with, you can do it, He will not give you More then what you can bear, find the silver or gold lining in the moments along the way, because there are plenty of Dark days to come... dig Deep, pray hard, and keep moving forward.... There is a great Strength that indwells in you through the Holy Spirit.. Father i would like to pray for the person who is reading this who might feel like giving up, who doesn't want to continue on, who feel the weight of things against them... help them to hear your voice, help them to since your spirit and guide them, speak to them, inspire them and please Father help them to reach out and acomplish the task you set before them... Father please do these things for them in the name of your son Jesus... Amen...."
