Short-Term Running Goals:

Keep on running, enjoy it for the sake of running, relax and enjoy life...de-stress.  Stay fit as I enter retirement in < 4years.

No racing, retired.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running until this old body says no, running for fun.

Personal:

 I started running competitively in 2005 and ran my first marathon in 2005. Now retired from competitive racing.

Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;

answer me, for I need your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord;
hear my urgent cry.
I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me.  - Psalm 86:1-7

7 miles in 52 minutes.  Slept in and went out a bit later after the sun was up and the smoke from the forest fires had cleared.  Still a bit smoky (can barely see Waterton canyon), so I cut the run short and might run later. (ride)

Now we are off to take our son to the Museum of Nature and Science.  A full day walking around the museum, my feet are tired and a dinner and a beer are calling...and the smoke is back from the fires.  So, no additional run today, I will just go longer tomorrow on the single tracks in Chatfield State Park.

Waterton canyon, aquarium, museum- you're doing all the fun stuff. Make sure to stop by Red Rocks ampitheatre and see the museum there, if you have time. Pretty cool. And free.

If you're at Chatfield, head over to Roxbourough (sp?) State Park, too, right by there. Even better.

My first week in Colorado I raced from Clear Creek (Golden)to the "M" with a 10 lb rock in my hands. I finished second, but I did beat the shirtless cowboy with jeans and boots on!

Jon, our friends live just below Roxborough State Park, thinking of heading up there but Kami doesn't want me to due to the report of a mountain lion in the area.

Thanks for the tip on Red Rocks.

From Jon on Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 19:53:40 from 74.177.96.130

Eh, don't worry about mountain lions. They never attack anyone, especially adult males. You're far more likely to have dog problems in a neighborhood. Go enjoy Roxborough.

Glen- are you a fellow Oredigger, by chance?

Like every honest fellow I drink my whiskey clear or as my former boss (UT) called us "the Mines Mafia"

I will be in your neck of the woods in a few weeks looking for some runs.

I'm a rambling wreck from Golden Tech...

You'll be in SC?
