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

I'm almost as cold as you! 15 degrees this morning, more of the same for a week. No snow, though. No wind, either. Still played frisbee in shorts yesterday.

I'm looking forward to hearing where Justin will be headed for college.

From jtshad on Thu, Jan 04, 2018 at 11:03:20 from 141.221.191.225

He has committed to run for Westminster College in SLC, will be a neighbor to the Murphy's! Recently changed to DII, competes in same conference as Adams State, Western and Colorado School of Mines...tough conference!

From Jon on Thu, Jan 04, 2018 at 19:29:29 from 96.33.86.208

Hey, good for him. Very exciting. And running in that conference will be great for him. I enjoyed it. It's a big step up from high school when you stand on the starting line at college and see Olympians next to you (I ran against Mike Aish and the Torres, plus Dathan Ritzenheim)

Spent the morning battling on the phone with the service tech company.  When servicing our TV service they cut our internet.  Said the repair would happen "first thing in the morning"  1pm they final came because I walked across the street to corral the service tech.  The guys were nice but what a cluster.

Justin's signing celebration tonight at Bill's!  Cool to celebrate his commitment to run for Westmister College next year.

From jtshad on Mon, Jan 08, 2018 at 19:26:06 from 173.198.176.201

He definitely makes my pace look easier and has a youthful kick that I cannot find. He still has not beat me in a head to head race but I suspect he would kick my butt. May see this spring!

I'm surprised that many foot issues/lower issues can be worked through by not being barefoot. Wear shoes in the house if it's permitted. I have a clean-soled pair I have been using for my foot issue and it has worked wonders.

Day off.  Did not get up before plane ride in time and the travel was longer than anticipated.  Thought about running after getting to hotel but the cold wind and slick conditions vs. a beer and dinner with collegues ensured the run lost out this time.

What church is it? You can PM me if you wish. Sounds interesting, my dad and grandpa were both pastors.

From jtshad on Mon, Feb 05, 2018 at 12:08:14 from 141.221.191.225

We are currently going to a non-denominational church called Christ Community Church. I am currently a leader in our Men's group and my wife and I are leading a class on "sticky faith" in youth transition from high school to college. For about 15 years we attend a Lutheran church and were very actively engaged in church leadership and youth faith development. We made a change to ensure our kids had an active faith development community of kids and due to some directional difference of opinions.

3 miles after school with Justin.  He ran a 56 and change for his 400m time trial...off injury recovery and no real training since August!  Looking great to start into his prep for Westminster XC in the fall.

4:15am...6 miles with Moxie on a warmish morning. (Mirage Red)

6 miles at lunch on a beautiful day (sunny, warmer) so I was overdressed.  Plus I was running at a faster clip (MP) than usual.  Had a couple of rabbits...two guys in the locker room were posturing a bit.  Took off before me, ran the short side of the park. Saw them first at about 1.25 miles and they were 0.5 miles ahead, caught them just past 2.5 miles in, and ended up in the locker room just after they finished a 4.3 mile run.  Felt good to get the legs pumping again. (Guide 8)

3 miles with Justin just chatting and goofing off the whole way, great time. (Ride Orange)

Went to see "The Greatest Showman" tonight, great movie, message and soundtrack.

Jeff, is there a reason for your early runs?

From jtshad on Fri, Feb 09, 2018 at 11:00:35 from 141.221.191.225

I am able to have full control of this time to keep my runs planned and uninterrupted. I start work early (usually leave home ~0630). I try to get a lunch run or after work run too but these can be overcome by events much easier. I have been doing this for so many years that my internal clock goes off early and I am awake by this time automatically. Plus, it is more quite, peaceful and a good energizing start to my day. Sorry for the long answer.

At first I read "rabbis". Rabbit makes more sense.

We have a 9 year old Labrador. When she (Paula) was young, we ran 10 miles on a rainy day. She took every puddle she found. Soon after that we came to conclusion that running isn´t the very best for her...just took her for short jogs again.

Got up early, it was really snowing.  Did taxes instead. After the snow slowed, shoveled the driveway (and next door neighbors).  Breakfast then a run with Justin through SRL to Broadway and back.  Good conversation again, best time to connect with him.  He is done with 2nd trimester and is now done with only senior project defense and two AP tests for rest of high school amongst three "real" classes through June. 10 miles total today.

Is your kid going to Westminster? I have one cousin who graduated there and his younger brother is currently attending. Both have really enjoyed the closer relationships that they formed with the faculty.

From jtshad on Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 07:08:42 from 141.221.191.225

Yes, my son will be attending Westminster in the fall. He is excited to get out of IF! He will also be on the XC and Track team. Seems like a really good school, we know several folks who have gone here and praised the school, faculty, education and culture. Really fits Justin and is pretty close to home.

From Donald Davis on Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 11:30:07 from 65.222.251.100

Based off of my cousins' experience, I think he will love it. My cousins' parents have also been very satisfied. There are a lot of extra perks that seemed to come up from being closer to the teachers (from the smaller classes).

Severe storm blew through yesterday evening and poured down huge hailstones, pretty much destroyed the siding on the front of our house!  Katelyn was home alone and was really scared, especially when funnel cloud warnings were issued as well.  Lots of insurance claims will be submitted tomorrow.

I saw some pictures from my in laws. The damage looks crazy. Will you need a new roof, too? Any broken windows?

That's a pain.

From jtshad on Wed, Apr 11, 2018 at 08:38:53 from 141.221.191.225

No broken windows, roof appears ok but I am not an expert and waiting to get it checked too. Luckily no cars were outside as the hail beat up them too.

A pain, but just a nuisance, no one was hurt.

Pouring rain this morning, plus a tight achilles tendon made me skip this morning.  Busy schedule and crappy weather (cool, wind) led to skipping a lunch run.  Probably an uplanned day off.

Ready for some warmer weather...going to find it for the next 5 days.

Church, bike ride, pool time and sun/warmth on the agenda for today.

7am..6 miles from the condo in just over 7:00 AP.  Good run after on tired legs from yesterday's exercise.  Now watching the Boston Marathon before a bike ride later. (Supernova)

Wow, congrats Desi and the American women!  Amazing day for American women and men with many top finishers.  They (and all the finishers) show lots of mental and physical toughness and proved that racing is from the heart as much as from the mind.  Lots of DNFs in the top ranks when it became clear they could not "win"...conflicted with about a DNF when it is for anything but injury. 

23 mile bike ride with Kami to Sun River (looked at model homes, come to find out I am old enough in a few months to buy a house in a retirement community...hmmm.)  Warm and it got windy on our way back.  Great ride!

i think a non-injury related DNF is valid if you truly make your living off running and have a chance to make that up elsewhere in the near future. of course this applies to only a handful of people in the field who could reasonably expect to win. otherwise, i agree -- forge ahead and build up your "dealing with misery" skills.

side note: i love that the 2nd place female came home with 75k and it was completely unexpected. that has to be so surreal.

other side note: big miles! lots of XT, too. sounds fun and happy anniversary to you and your wife.

From Jon on Wed, Apr 18, 2018 at 13:16:38 from 165.156.40.13

If Desiree had dropped out like she thought about doing at mile 6, the unexpected 2nd place finisher may have won Boston! How bout that for crazy.

Easy day traveling to DC.  Got to hotel and went for an 8 mile run to the waterfront and along the trail and back.  (Supernova)  Went to dinner at Virtue Feed and Grain on the waterfront on King St.  Great food.  Nice walk to the restaraunt but hit a huge rain and lightning storm on the way back.  Rode the trolley but still got sopping wet getting to the hotel. Supposed to be rainy all week.

A good but long day of meetings, work back home did not stop though and had to deal with a few things.  After work hydrate with a beer and fuel then went out for 5 miles before the rain started.  A good work day but miss my family. Realized that I still have much to learn about this aspect of my job (newer assignment) but will be hard still holding my old job at the same time. (Supernova)

Rained heavy last night, skipped my run due to being tired and unsure of getting wet this morning.

6.5 miles at lunch on a cloudy day, perfect temps.  (Tangent)

Needed this one to work off anxiety...dealing with "do more with less" at work, letting all the "little things" at home that seem to be piling up pick at my nerves as well as the prep for Justin to leave and normal teenager stress.   Cannot seem to keep my mind focused on anything for more than 5 minutes and trying to make decisions or deal with others issues is challenging right now. Message from management today..."In light of the recent tragedies of influencers like Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade, combined with office-wide “doing more with less” work pressure, I want to remind you that there are resources readily available to help you and your family manage life’s challenges." Thanks, but how about hiring the staff we need to do our jobs?

2 miles after dinner to enjoy weather and clear my head. Stopped by a friend's house and played with their young daughters, that helped a lot!  (Supernova Boost)

My right achilles has been sore in the mornings for the past 2 months.  Not enough to not run and it seems to stop aching after getting up and walking around for a few minutes.  But today is was a bit more sore and I noticed some inflammation.  Skipped my run and iced it instead. 

Seems to be a lot of sore achilles with runners on the FRB right now...can think of at least 3 others who actively post who have indicated this.  Can we catch this via a "FRB virus"?

3 miles easy to get out...no real pain with the achilles but taking it easy for awhile.

Oh yes, I can tell a story! What really helped were heel drops, before the runs and several times during the day. It cured with Sasha's injury advice while running. Hope you will fix it soon!

Sad and a bit mad...Justin's calf is bothering him and he is thinking that he may not want to do XC, quitting before it even starts because it is hard.  Struggling to help him stay motivated through injury (which his calf has bothered him a bit nearly every season), his coaches and trainers are helping him get healed up and he likes the team...but still says 'he is not feeling it'.  Not a reason to throw in the towel.

Three people retired from my office this week including my boss.   By the end of the year over a 6 month period of time my boss, his boss and his boss (the office manager) will retire.  Last year out of an office of about 200 people, 20 people retired, this year about 25 will retire and we know now of nearly 10 people next year who will retire.  We have been authorized by HQ to rehire so far...<10 people.  It is getting tough to get our jobs done and motivate people.  We have not hired entry level folks in years.  I have 6.5 years left (~1000 days of work by my calculation assuming leave, holidays, 4x10 work week).  Going to be interesting...now to decide if I really want to put in for my bosses job when it is advertised (one that we hear will be authorized to hire behind).

A bit frustrated that Justin again is not racing (due to illness this time, bug going around campus).  I know I can't own it, but still frustrated and hoping he can stay motivated at all for the team (he has lots of other good stuff going on so running is dropping on his interst list).  

Enough of my rant.  I am blessed with a good job, family and community.

Politics. Blah. Plus there's lots of good happening, but the news highlights the bad/crazy, so it skews perspective. A run in the woods always re-focuses me and helps me worry less about the stuff outside my control.

Yeah, they are ok just facing challenges. Katelyn's first break up and Justin has some roommate/friend issues that is stressing him.

Are things doing a bit better for your kids? I know you said it was a bit of a hard time for both recently.

From jtshad on Mon, Dec 03, 2018 at 13:58:34 from 141.221.191.225

Yeah, both are doing better. Justin had stress at school with roommates/peers that was remedied (mostly), lots of opportunity to mature and see the world differently. Probably quitting track/XC due to other interests (school, student senate, etc.). Katelyn broke up with her 'boyfriend', first time is hard. Good thing though but hard to tell a 16 year old girl. She seems to have moved on and seen the issues with the guy. Teenagers are tough...so is being 50 and in the workplace sometimes.

Too cold outside (13 degrees) and I was sore (back, hammy, shoulder).  Did some stretching and PT this morning, including adding "nordic drops" to my rountine to help with the HHT.

6 miles at lunch on a cold day. (Supernova Green)

Just googled nordic drops so I learned something today.

A runner friend said that these helped her and her husband with the same issue I have. Worth a try to get rid of my pain in the butt.

Those look pretty intense. Have you sought out PT for the issue? I know you've been dealing with it for some time. PTs can really do amazing things. About 6-7 sessions and I had my hip issue of 4+ years sorted. I've since retightened it but it's much stronger and if I do my routine it opens up that area.

From jtshad on Tue, Dec 11, 2018 at 07:16:33 from 141.221.191.225

I have been to PT, got me to where I am now! Same issue that made Ryan Hall retire from competitive racing. Doc even suggested PRP, but not sure that the results are conclusive enough on this issue for the cost and time commitment. I can still run, just not quite like I used to. Doc reminded me I am getting older.

Is winter like summer there where it gets quite cool/cold at night but it warms up a bit during the day?

From jtshad on Mon, Dec 17, 2018 at 07:32:00 from 141.221.191.225

It is relative. 14 in the morning, 37 and sunshine in the afternoon. After now acclimating the afternoon felt balmy!

No lunch run as we took out a coworker for his retirement.  5% of my office is retiring this month alone.  Since 2017, out of a workforce of then ~200 we have had over 45 people leave and hired >12.

Have a friend who is a runner (half marathons) and tries to make a connection via running which is great. But sucks up with BS and it is a bit annoying. They run a 2:10 HM on a downhill course then try to tell me they run on the TM and hit marks such as 3 miles in 15:00 and today 7 miles in 39 minutes.  To someone who does not know what that pace is like it might fly but I know it is BS.  Have not called them on it as it is no issue for me, but just stop.

Kami got me up early to go to the after Christmas sales for gifts and supplies.  After breakfast, went out aroun 10:00 for a neighborhood run in very nice weather...cool but sunny and I was warm.  Moxie ran 6 and i dropped her off as she was limping the last mile, then finished off 1 more for 7 miles total.  (Xodus)

Really frustrated the last two days with customer service from a bank and our doctor's office, workers being total jerks and not being accountable for their mistakes and jobs.  I try to maintain my cool but am getting to the point with this crap (and with people at work sometimes) that maybe I just should be an ass to get my way instead of being coolheaded.  Very frustrated with people's BS right now.

That is frustrating. It's good you can keep your cool, though lodging polite yet specific complaint with management and being willing to take your money elsewhere have worked best for me.

4 miles in 16 degrees with Moxie to hit 3,298 miles for the year.  (Guide White)

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 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.)

Mileage 2005-2006: 3,878 miles (Coolrunning.com)

Mileage 2007-2016: 37,513 miles (2963 - '07, 3706 - '08, 3760 - '09, 3659 - ‘10, 3725 - '11, 3468 – ’12, 3256 – ’13, 3395 – ’14, 3306 – ’15, 3171 – ’16, 3104 – ‘17)

Mileage to date 2018: 3,298 miles (12/31/18).  Ran the equivalent distance from Gresham, OR to Key Largo, FL!

Total lifetime miles:  47,690 miles
