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: |

Went to the Melaleuca Chistmas party (my wife's employer) at the Hero Arena in the new Mountain America Center (entertainment and sports arena over a decade in the making). They brought in Shy Carter as the entertainment and once again treated the employees very well.

A quick review of my running stats (for my own validation) since I started training for marathons and really tracking mileage in 2005. Prior to 2005, I didn't track mileage besides in my day planner and ran at most 3 times a week for about 2-5M each time for the previous 5 years (2000-2004) as I was more focused on weight lifting and tennis in this period. Estimate that I ran about 3,000 miles total prior to making running my central athletic focus in 2005.
Mileage pre 2005: 3,000 miles (est. based on paper logs before electronic logging)
Mileage 2005-2006: 3,878 miles (Coolrunning.com)
Mileage 2007-2021: 50,012 miles (2963 - '07, 3706 - '08, 3760 - '09, 3659 - ‘10, 3725 - '11, 3468 – ’12, 3256 – ’13, 3395 – ’14, 3306 – ’15, 3171 – ’16, 3104 – ’17, 3298 – ’18, 2910 – ‘19, 3326 - '20, 2965 – ’21)
Mileage to date 2022: 2336 miles (12/31/22). Ran the equivalent distance from Rupert, ID to Jacksonville, FL!
Total lifetime miles: 59,226 miles
