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  2025.

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

5am...out for an 8 mile run with Curt through SRL to the greenbelt and back.  Nice run with great company.  Added on a couple more miles then went to the gym with Kami to set up PowerBar products for the last day of Ride Across America party (PowerBar sponsored the event).  Ran home from the gym to get a total of 12.25 miles in 1:32.  My hip actually felt great...good news!

 

Now off to the Ribgy Invitational track meet to watch Justin run (3200m, 800m and maybe the 1600m too!).  1 mile or so of warming up with Justin doing some fast strides.  I am very proud of him, he did very well in his races (12:03, 2:41, 5:51) and nearly did not get to run 3200m due to poor coaching adminstration...good thing I know a few folks to work with to help out!   (Ride 3)

Lots of drama during the events.  I went with Justin and Braedon to check in for the 3200m and the official said they were not on the list and there were no late adds.  Apparently no Taylorview coach went to the coaches meeting right before the event to check the rosters for late add/drop and they had not registered the runners correctly.  After talking to the head meet coordinator (whom I know) and the District 91 T&F program lead, we were able to get the kids in (only 3200m on this side of the state this season...won't let a kid in who WANTS to run it? Please!).  Justin was furious and ready to leave the meet but I got him settled down and he ran great after we got him on the list just in the knick of time!  Inept coaching this year.  The lady helping out with the distance kids is very nice though and really trying to learn and is very impressed with Justin!

Glad your feeling better Jeff. Great job by Justin on the Double Double. Those are great times and that's a tough assignment to do all three. MIH
