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

3M easy after sleeping in a little (went out at 5:20) in pretty warm and misty/rainy weather.  Ready to race tomorrow.

Driving down to Provo this morning with the family.  Looking forward to seeing all the FRB'ers.

Hope you had a good taper week. Good luck and thanks for the words of encouragement!!

Good luck my man. Run like you can and try to have fun. Hope the weather behaves for you. I can't believe that you still got up that early to run when you are not even coming to work. Do you ever sleep past 5 am?

We'll be cheering for you from here. Looking forward to your report.

Good Luck and looking forward too to how well you do and your report.....

From Julie on Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 12:48:14 from 63.225.232.205

Good luck tomorrow. I wish I could be there to cheer all you FBR's on. I look forward to reading your report.

Good luck tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing the report. I'm sure you will do great as usual.

Thanks everyone! Right now the weather looks to be cool and rainy.

UVM has really grown, 100 runners last year, nearly 1000 this year (thanks to Utah Grand Slam)!
