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

6:15am...7 miles with Moxie on a nice morning along Sunnyside before church. (Mirage Gray)

2:30pm...5 miles with Gray around the greenbelt after an afternoon of yardwork.  Good temps and sunny but windy.  Nice to run with Gray, but my hammy was acting up and I think I was holding him up a bit.  (Fastwitch)

Raining pretty good outside this morning, so I rolled, stretched and rehabed a bit.  Longer run at lunch and/or after work.

9 miles in 1:05.  Started off cool and I had on sleeves and gloves. By the end the sun came out, warmed up and I was running shirtless.  Now a huge storm is about to blow in.  Idaho weather...(Altra Impulse)

4:30am...Moxie and I met Curt and Alana for an early run.  Ran into SRL and back, about half the run with them then we turned back.  Good company and a great morning for a run.  7.25 miles. (Mirage Gray)

6.25 miles at lunch at around a 7:10 pace.  Includes helping push a car that had run out of gas about 1/4 mile down the road to the gas station...strength workout portion of the run. (Altra Impulse)

5:45am...slept in and went out with Moxie on a beautiful morning for 7 miles along Sunnyside.  (Mirage Gray)

After dropping the kids off at school and doing Bible study with Kami, we went out for a 15 mile bike ride from home to Freeman park and back...a bit windy but glorious out!

Drove to Manhattan, MT to visit friends and see our godson compete in the state track meet...his last meet before graduating.

5:15am...7 miles on the country roads in Manhattan, MT. (Ride 5)

Went to the state track meet in Bozeman, MT to watch the Manhattan Tigers and our godson.  He is a stud...1st in shot (new state record of 60'6"), 1st in discus (by over 30 feet to next best in any division), 3rd in triple jump, 4th in long jump!  His team won with 114 points...most ever scored at a state meet and 5th championship in a row!
