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 Favorite Blogs: |

| Was waken at 4am with a call from my dad (who recently had neck surgery) that my mom was being taken to the hospital for cardiac symptoms. Spent 3 hours in the ER, she is ok with likely stress and muscle strain from helping my dad so much the past few weeks.
Spent the entire day with them try to help them out, then got in 3 miles later in the day to burn off stress before falling asleep at 7:30pm.

| Well, interesting weekend, highs and lows. Today marks my official date for 30 years working for the Department of Energy. With this milestone, now I just need to keep going 2.5 years to my minimum retirement age to retire!
This milestone takes on new meaning as of yesterday. I have finally figured out my pain from the past 1.5 months. Last night it got so bad my wife took me to the emergency room. Back pain, chest pain, trouble breathing. After some meds, blood work and a CT scan, I found out I have two pulmonary embolisms (blood clots in my lungs). They are small and treatable and I wil be on meds, but now to find out why I have them (no causes evident and traditional precursors not present). At least I can name my pain, which means I can treat it. All other indicators are great, so I was released early this morning and now just need to have my body get rid of these and hopefully prevent additional occurrences. Good news is that exercise is a primary treatment, so keep on running!
