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

Slept in and went out for a run after the sun had come up!  9M in 1:01 (avg. 6:48) after an easy mile, then I started to push the rest of the miles between 6:50 and 6:30.  Foot a bit tender this morning but not bad.  I will ice it and continue to watch it.  

We probably aren't camping this weekend as the weather tomorrow is supposed to turn nasty in Island Park/Yellowstone (thundershowers, 50 degrees and wind) even though it is beautiful right now.  Even with the camper, spending the whole weekend in 120 square feet with 4 people would not be the most enjoyable.  So, stick around, play outside today.  I might try to run the big local 10K race tomorrow...we'll see.

Got home from the run and discussed the weekend plans with the kids...no to camping due to weather.  Kids got invited to play at a friends house, so Kami and I went out for a 4M run...she did great and her foot did not bother her.  Average pace of 8:45!  Nice to run with her again!

1M with the whole family as a "practice" for the race tomorrow.  I am going to run the Scenic River Classic 10K and Justin and Katelyn are doing the kid's 1M fun run.  It is very cool how excited they are about it!

Jeff what time is the race tomorrow and where in case I what to run on my dead legs?

Great pace and run this morning.

The race is down at Freeman Park area, I think it begins at 9am...but I am not sure. Go to dwinc.org for more info.

I might see you there if you go, I am still undecided...my legs feel good, but my foot is worrisome and the family plans may not agree with the timing.

Don't go destroy all the other competition at a local 10k. Let the kid's win one for once:)

My legs are not bad. It would be kind of nice to see what I can do on them a week after a marathon. Then again maybe it's smart we both whole off, because we both could get injured. Hearing about Bill being injured is a warning sign and depressing enough.

Jeff I'm running Leg 2 of Bone & Back next week on an eight man team. They might need another runner would you be interested? I'm not sure yet, because one of them is thinking about dropping but I thought I would see if you might be interested. They will pay for the fee.
