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

It is my son's 18th birthday today!  I could not be a more proud dad of the young man that he is and the what the future has in store for him.   Happy birthday, Justin!

On a side note...makes me feel really old.

Eclipse day...in the path of totality here in IF.  Hype was we were going to get 500,000+ visitors in town so everything shut down....not happening.  Got a day off for due to the hype though (well, have to work Friday instead).  2 miles after the eclipse around the greenbelt before grabbing a beer.

Drove to Pocatello with Justin to drop him off at Poky High to take the SAT.  I ran from the HS to the Just Cuz HM course and ran up the second half (up Mink Creek) then came back.  Took a pit stop, then finished off some more in old town for 20 miles total.  (Guide 7)
