Short-Term Running Goals:

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

8M in 59:22 from the hotel through the neighborhoods on a warmer but windier day.  Had to stop for a pit stop but otherwise a good morning run before the family got up for the day.

Kami is doing another ride with her friend Jennifer today (35+ miles), then taking the kids to the Zoo and a bit more shopping to finish off the family weekend in Boise.

The Zoo was fun, did some quick shopping then had dinner with friends and a family dip in the pool to finish off the day.

8M on a very warm but windy morning through the neighborhood from the hotel. I was way overdressed and ditched the vest/gloves/earband on a fence for most of the run.  Heading home today after some last shopping stops.  A great family weekend away!

It was really crappy outside all day today, so I slept in, went to work for half a day then came home.  After playing some Wii with the kids, I went to the gym to hit the TM while they went for a haircut.  

1M warmup in 6:40ish then a 7M tempo run progressing up to low 5:00 and high 4:00's for some of it to finish 8M (including w/u mile) in 47:35 (5:57 pace).  Then I got a drink and did 2 more miles easier to finish 10M in 1:00:35.

The guy on the TM next to me kept looking at my pace as I sped up and then looking at me, talking to his buddy next to him then he got off shaking his head after I had finished 3M...he, he, he...come on back for the rest of the run!  Off course, afterwards I could feel the workout and really needed fuel and water! 

Picked up my son from the stylist then we played more Links Defender on the Wiii...we kicked some butt!

6M recovery run early outside in good weather in 48:47.  Legs a bit sore from yesterday and my wife had to work so I just put in an easy 6 miles.  Hope to get another run in at lunch out at the site.  (tornado)

4M at lunch on a decent running day in 29:15 for another easy recovery run.  (Trigon)

My quads are still really sore from Tuesday's tempo workout.  I got up a bit late and had to be back early so Kami could get to work so I only ran 4M in a light snow in 34:44...ouch!  I will try to go longer at lunchtime today.  (Tornado)

8.1M in 59:30 on a day that was actually better than it looked.  When I first started, it was snowing, overcast and windy, but the temperature wasn't too bad.  After a while, the snow let up and the sun actually came out at the end of the run.  My quads were still burning at the start of the run but feel much better now afterwards.

6M early this morning on slick pathways from the snow and ice last night in a leisurely 47:39.   Legs feeling a bit better.  I will get another run in at lunch before the storm and wind that are predicted hit later today.  Tomorrow's run is questionable...sustained 45mph winds with gusts to 60+mph!  (Tornado)

8M in 58 minutes flat around the greenbelt at lunch today.  Very windy (especially heading out) with ok temps and mostly cloudy conditions.  7:15 average isn't bad for this weather and I wanted to get a bit more mileage today as I am uncertain about tomorrow's run.  (Trigon)

13.1M in 1:45 with Jon Allen and Andrea on a nasty windy, cold day.  The wind was really strong out of the SW, so we zigzagged through the number streets to take advantage of the windbreaks.  The streets were getting more slick as the run progressed and the windy got worse and the temps dropped so I was happy to end the run at 13 miles.  Even my PowerBar Gel Blasts were hard to get down (but helped on a nasty cold day).

Now, we'll see if the Easter egg hunt for the kids actually takes place this morning in the nasty weather!
