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 Favorite Blogs: |

| Boise State University for most the day with Justin. Cool school!
After resting, Justin and I went out for his workout. Ran on the greenbelt then found a straight section for him to run his 0.4M intervals. I ran 3 of them with him and jogged the rest. He ran fast! Then ran easy back to the hotel. (Tangent)
Feel like crap and have a cough. Glad I downgraded to the half...if even running that based on how I feel.

| I got up feeling terrible, hacked up a lung last night....after a cold pill and some coffee felt a little better and decided to go aheard and run since it was a glorious morning.
Started off easy and got into cruising pace and essentially ran the entire race varying only +/- 15 seconds per mile. Ran steady. Ran first three miles with a nice young guy then he pulled away (beat me by a minute for fourth) and finished right where I thought I would based on training, hammy/glute and missing a lung.
Long drive home...stiff legs. (Tangent)

2 miles warm up with Justin. Was going to more to help him with his workout but had to cut it short as he was having calf/and achilles issues so we stop. Will try for more later. Heading to an open house for our friends' new CrossFit gym. 2.25 more miles waiting to do a workout then my first CrossFit workout: 400m/21 kettlebell swings/12 pullups three times. Total time of 9:05. Fun but not changing my mind about running. (Guide 7)
