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

Man, I had a bad case of DOMS last night and this morning which made it really hard to want to get up and run. My glutes and calves are very tight, but I was able to squeak out 5 very slow miles with Moxie this morning...it was not a pretty sight. (Ride)

4.5 crappy miles, not even worth really calling running. I hurt all over! (Cortana)

4:30am...barely got up and out the door for this one. Everything is still sore and tight so this was another very slow run (if you call it running). I felt better as the run progress but this was the physical and mental limit for this morning. (Ride)

No lunch run due to lingering soreness and 35-45 mph winds out on the desert.

4:30am...6 easy untimed miles with Moxie. My legs are finally feeling better, I was just really tired this morning. (Ride)

No lunch run today due to work commitments, I will run with the kids at track practice tonight.

4 miles with the kids at track practice. (Kinvara)

4:30am...6 easy untimed miles with Moxie on a beautiful morning for a run. Still tired but most of the soreness is gone. (Ride)

Nice day at lunch for a run. Pissed about work so I had to get out. Feeling better overall but still in recovery. Progression from 7:22 to 6:22 pace for 7 miles in 48:30.

Got whistled at by two women in a car, passed two cyclists and 4 runners, saw a couple of friends enjoying lunch in the part and stopped to say hi, and saw a coworker walking in spandex compressions shorts...he never got the memo that spandex is a privilege and not a right! (Cortana)

Last Gem State Track meet tonight! Justin's first athletic event with the new braces that were put on today.

I slept in and didn't get out for a run until after 5am. 8 miles easy with Moxie through SRL. Stopped at home for a pit stop and to see Kami head out for her bike ride then back out for another 2 miles. Ran into Robpod and ran for a little bit to chat. 10 miles in around 1:20. Right groin and right achilles a bit twingy today so I didn't push it, still recoverying from the race last Saturday...about my longest recovery time I can remember.

Off to Grand Teton National Park with the family today. We didn't make it to the Tetons today because our friends from Bozeman who were in town were free earlier than we thought, so we stopped in Swan Valley to check out a few camp spots and see Fall Creek Falls. Oh, had square ice cream cones in Irwin too!

Went out at 6am to meet Gray, Lynette and Curt for a run. Lynette and Curt ran 3 miles with us, then Gray and I finished off 12 miles progressing up to MP for the last few miles. My calves were really tight the second half of this run and still had a bit of a right groin twing.

On the way home, I ran into Andrea so I went back out for a mile with her. After a short pitstop at home, I took Justin, Kateyn and Moxie back out for 1.75 miles then finished off a bit for 16.5 miles total for the day.

We saw lots of runners out today: Gary, Alisa, Shelley, Corwin, etc.

Had a great time at the Chukars game tonight with our friends from Bozeman.
