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

Rainy and cold day.  6 miles between rain at lunch.  Slow, got light-headed and hard to breathe a couple of times.  Work and family anxiety causing my running to suck now. (Altra Impulse)

3 miles after work with Justin. (Glide Black)

COVID-19 is starting to really hit SE Idaho.  First death in our county over the weekend, more cases being report as confirmed and many potential starting to be recognized.  My work indicating not going back in any measurable way until after July 4.  INL indicating teleworkers going in after August 4, on a 4 days 10 days out cycle.  A new normal for the foreeable future (as most people here are not paying any attention to safety measures).

No run today.  Early to work to tour the Secretary of Energy through my facility, long day counseling an employee then beers with a coworker after work...ok too many but needed it after the last couple of weeks. Mentally and physically exhausted.
