After I completed seven marathons, I decided to focus on running shorter distances and lowering my times. I trained hard using a diverse plan and felt ready to get out and test my improved half-marathon run time. However, I became so focused on the run time that I ignored my overall strategy and failed to run in such a way as to prevent injury. I knew the how and what of the race, but my focus became blurred because I was fixing my eyes on the wrong goal. I did not improve my time much and aggravated an old injury in the process. God taught me a valuable lesson.

Keep your head up!
Set:Hockey Chat: The Sabers and Fylers had been battling in a 2-2 tie in overtime. RJ Umberger (Philly) had been taking some hits from heavy man Brian Campbell (Buffalo). RJ had shrugged off getting roughed up before and didn’t think much as he grabbed the puck headed up ice with 8 minutes left. But just as he got to the blue line, with thoughts of skating up ice and scoring on his mind, Campbell met him hard in what RJ thought was open ice, and laid him out. Always, always keep your head up when skating up. You can watch the video here HEADS UP.

White Lies
Set:Hockey Chat: I’ve seen hockey players try to argue there way out of penalties saying that it was just a little hook or they just slashed at the puck not the opponent. They try to minimize the offense. Fact is, when they are called for penalty, it’s a penalty. If they say they just barely hit the guy with their stick, they still are called for slashing. If plead that they just nudged the guy head first into the boards, they still get called for boarding just as if they slammed him. When the ref sees a penalty, regardless of the degree, he calls it.

Logan Still a Safety for Troubled Youths- Faith in Action
Ex-Eagle Star Logan Still a Safety For Troubled Kids
By Don Leypoldt
Randy Logan walked into a mess.
The collegiate All-American, the team captain at Michigan who was voted the Wolverines’ MVP his senior year, found himself starting in the Philadelphia Eagles’ 1973 opener.
Across Pennsylvania at this time Pittsburgh’s notorious "Steel Curtain" began to re-define great defense.
The 1973 Eagle defense was not a Steel Curtain. They were more like a Shower Curtain. The Eagles ranked second to last in the NFL in scoring defense en route to an ugly 5-8-1 finish.

Cheerleaders or Critics
Set:A few years ago I was privileged to participate in the memorial service for a faithful servant, a dear friend and a former head football coach. More than two thousand of this man’s family, friends, colleagues, and student athletes attended the service. As I stepped into the pulpit of the church, I thought, Look at all these people. The grandstands are packed for him today. Everyone here is a cheerleader! What a great send-off for a coach, and a great testimony to a life well lived.

Signs
This is a fun game that's not hard and easy for a group of almost any size.
How to play:
Everyone sits in a circle. There is one person who is "it." There is an imaginary sign being passed around the circle. The person in the middle hast to catch the person who "has" the sign.
Everyone has their own "sign." These signs can be simple or complicated, like a thumbs up or scraching your ear or something like that.
The person who starts with the sign can pass it by doing another person's sign. The other person has to respond with his own sign to receive the "sign." This continues around the circle until the person in the middle figures out who has the sign.
