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

No run today, leaving early to get to Boise to visit friends.  We are on our way to Moscow, ID to take Katelyn back to University of Idaho and move her into her off campus apartment.  While there I will meet with the Dean of the college of engineering to discuss recruiting future graduates and job opportunities.

Heading to Nashville today to spend some time with my son, telework from there and go to concert this weekend!

5 miles of walking in the SLC airport (had 2+ hours to kill) and with Justin in his neighborhood (ok, mostly to the brewerys in the area).

The Rogers Waters concert last night was fantastic, he sounded great, awesome set list and stage show.  Funny to see how he started the concert and the reaction from some of the crowd (the couple next to us) that eventually took him up on his invitation to leave and go to the bar if they did not like his politics and Human Rights messaging.   

Justin and I are going to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky today.  

5 miles walking and hiking in the caves and trails.
