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

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
7.00	2.00	0.00	0.00	9.00

4M easy early this morning before heading into work at 6am. Legs are feeling a lot better this morning, but still ran really easy (7:55 pace) to let the legs come back. I was playing with the kids last night and my son kneeled on the side of my leg and I screamed in pain, so they are not fully back yet.

May try for a short run at lunch today to continue the recovery.

(Trigon 2 - 39 miles)

Got in a good 4M run at lunch today. Decided it was time to get a little speed back into the legs, so I went a bit faster today. I had a rabbit to catch on the road today and track him down...passed him going out at 1.80M and then caught him on the way back at 3.25M. Splits were good: 1-6:32, 2-6:38, 3-6:13, 4-6:04. Legs felt good and actually better after the run.

total time: 25:25 (Trigon 1 - 347 miles)

Very tired today, had to take a quick nap once I got home from work. After dinner we biked over to Community Park and I played with the kids while Kami ran a couple of miles. Biked home right before dark, 4M round trip count it as 1 easy mile.

Hey, I had a massage yesterday and there was a knot the size of a golf ball in my legs. I know how you feel, at least you can smack your kids. jk I wouldnt do that! I wanted to smack the therapist though!

Nice recovery run Jeff. My legs are not back yet either. I think the downhill and uphill worked on us pretty good.

Walter, Jon, you and I and however else should see if we can try and get a team for the Sawtooth relay next year. That would be fun. You have to have 6 runners for that event.

From jtshad on Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 14:48:18

That would be great for Sawtooth next year. We could either get 3 more guys or get a mixed team with Deborah and a couple of other fast ladies.

From Jon on Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 15:16:28

Looks like a fun race, esp for runners 1 and 6.

From jtshad on Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 15:26:14

So, Jon are you in for next year?

From Jon on Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 15:32:36

In... terested. How serious are you guys about putting together a team? It is a long ways ahead to be planning for this race. Right now, I would say to put me as in.

From Jon on Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 15:37:05

I'll say I'm more interested in this than WBR. I've done WBR 4 times now and there are only a few legs I haven't run- the excitement is definitely reduced for me. Plus I'm all for the non-overnight part.

From wheakory on Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 16:41:46

Jon, I think Sawtooth would be fun. I have a 15 passenger van so we would already have the vehicle. I bet I could convince my wife to drive.

One year we were going to have a church team, but people backed out (I was one of them because of conflicts). My sister-law has done this relay and she said that it's fun. I think this event is easier to plan.
