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  2025.

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

7 miles in 50 minutes with Moxie before church on a cool but calm morning (20 degrees).  I was really sore from yesterday in the glutes and calves!  (Cortana)

3 miles with Justin in the late afternoon and good weather focusing on form drills.  He did great and listened well today.  (Boost)

4:30am...7 slow painful recovery miles on a nice morning with Moxie.  I hope to get a run in at lunch if the snow stops out on the desert, I didn't bring gear expecting this weather (way different than in town).  (Boost)

4:30am...8 easy recovery miles with Curt on a cold, windy and snowy morning.  Nice to have the company in this weather and to try to process yesterday's events.  Left calf and right achilles a bit achy still.  (Mirage)

6 miles at lunch in 43 minutes.  Decent day, a bit windy.  My legs felt much better, a bit of a hard twing on my achilles around 2.5 miles in then it felt really good.  (Ride)

Happy Anniversary to my wife Kami who has been my rock, my blessing from God and my inspiration for 20 years.   Thanks for your example of being a parent, partner and faithful person who constantly shows me how to live a life dedicated to Jesus Christ.   Looking forward to many more years together.

10 miles with Moxie on a cool morning.  Ran with Corwin for a bit and for Andrea for about 4 miles.  Nice run but cold (21 degrees outside!).   Kami and I are heading to SLC for a few days for our anniversary and a church meeting with my parents coming over to stay with the kids.   A wonderful 20 years!  (Boost)

We slept in and went to breakfast. Afterwards I went out for 5 miles while Kami napped. Then we drove to Sugarhouse park and ran 6 miles together. Had a fun day with no agenda just spending time together.
