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

Woke up this morning after about 10 hours of sleep and my legs were trashed. No thought of running today. Spent the day with the kids and helping Kami with some yardwork. Then we biked over to my parents house for dinner and back home, about 5 miles which I will count as 1 easy mile.

4M easy early this morning. Legs still very sore so this was very slow.

(Trigon 2 - 29 miles)

5M easy around the greenbelt at lunch, very slow once again as the legs are still recovering.

(Trigon 1 - 343 miles)

My legs are still pretty trashed, so this was a slow easy run again this morning. Slept in a bit since I am taking the day off for my daughter's 6th birthday, big party this afternoon that we have to get ready for...a tea party with 16 little girls.

Got a call last night out of the blue from a nice guy in Illinois who asked me to be on his mixed master's Hood to Coast team (a team that is almost always in the top 3 master's category). Kinda cool and flattering, not quite sure how he got my name. Would be fun, but can't do it due to other family commitments and too much other racing travel.

Trigon 2 - 35 miles

4M easy early this morning before heading into work at 6am. Legs are feeling a lot better this morning, but still ran really easy (7:55 pace) to let the legs come back. I was playing with the kids last night and my son kneeled on the side of my leg and I screamed in pain, so they are not fully back yet.

May try for a short run at lunch today to continue the recovery.

(Trigon 2 - 39 miles)

Got in a good 4M run at lunch today. Decided it was time to get a little speed back into the legs, so I went a bit faster today. I had a rabbit to catch on the road today and track him down...passed him going out at 1.80M and then caught him on the way back at 3.25M. Splits were good: 1-6:32, 2-6:38, 3-6:13, 4-6:04. Legs felt good and actually better after the run.

total time: 25:25 (Trigon 1 - 347 miles)

Very tired today, had to take a quick nap once I got home from work. After dinner we biked over to Community Park and I played with the kids while Kami ran a couple of miles. Biked home right before dark, 4M round trip count it as 1 easy mile.

Slept in a bit this morning since I was so tired yesterday. Got out at about 5am for 5.1M easy this morning around the neigborhood as Sunnyside was freshly chipsealed and it was dusty and smelled like tar. Real easy 7:45 pace as my left glute (or Priformis) is a bit sore this morning...nothing really bad but I sure can feel it. Feels better when I run but I don't have back or leg pain with it.

Plan on registering for the Firecracker 5K today which is a race right down the parade route just before the parade on the 4th. I will see if I can keep up with/hold off Ken Richardson this year (assuming he shows up which I expect).

total time: 39:29 (Trigon 2 - 44 miles)

7M at lunch on a warm and windy day, not a bad day for a run. Was planning on going a bit faster again today but 0.5M into the run I was stung by a bee right under my right arm! It stung like a bugger for the next 3M and I felt it the whole time. I didn't have a bad reaction, but it wasn't the best start to a run and through me off my groove.

total time: 47:09 (Trigon 1 - 354 miles)

Standard easy 7M along Sunnyside this morning. About the coolest 52 degree temps I remember (it felt cooler)...very easy this morning, just couldn't get going. I just got into an easy groove since this is a recovery/easy week before getting back into full training mode in a couple of weeks for TCM.

I will try to get a short 4-5M in at lunch before heading to Layton with friends to hit Lagoon and Raging Waters this weekend.

total time: 46:40 (Trigon 2 - 51 miles)

4.5M easy at lunch befoe heading home to pack up and drive to Layton with our friends.

total time: 29:40 (Trigon 1 - 358 miles)

10K with Briam in Layton up to the foothills and back then to the hotel lobby for a cup of coffee and a good talk before waking the families for the day. Nice easy run and conversation. Now off to a day at Lagoon with the family and friends. Expect this to be a long day of walking around the park!
