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 Favorite Blogs: |

| 7M easy on a beautiful morning...sunny, cool and no wind. 6:54 average to Snake River Landing and back. Started at just above 7:00 pace and ran the last 4M at about 6:30. Nice start to the week. (Trigon) |

6.5M early this morning...kinda hard to get going, tired. I did do some speed pickups trying to race cars to landmarks (each one better 200m-0.1M) just for fun and to try and wake up. Beautiful morning, 55 degrees, no wind. (Trigon)
6.5M at lunch on a sunny and warm (80 degrees) day. 1M wu @ 6:25, then goal MP miles for a few (5:52, 5:55, 6:03) then a bit slower as I started to feel the heat...6:10, 6:18 and finally a cd 0.5M at 6:45 pace. Overall average of 6:12 which felt pretty easy. Stopped twice for water and once to talk to a friend but overall a decent harder effort. (Ride) |

7M easy and early before Kami had to get to work. Ran through Snake River Landing and back home...just nice and easy.
Ran 3M after Kami went to work and her parents left. The kid's rode their bikes with me as we went through the neighborhood. Easy 7:40 pace. |

6M early and easy before Kami headed to work. It took about 3M for me to wake up and feel like I was even running...I have been tired in the mornings this week! (Trigon)
I wanted to do some speed work today, so I ran easy for about 1.75M to the roadway along the river to ge a nice long flat stretch. I ran 6 1/2 mile repeats with ~2 minutes rest in between.
Splits: 1-2:44, 2-2:40, 3-2:48, 4-2:42, 5-2:48, 6-2:51.
The first 4 were ok but not quite what I was hoping for (2:35 was the target). After #5 I had to take a pit stop and #6 was hard and my form was terrible in the middle as I was fatiguing so that split was bad.
Finished the run with a 2.2M cooldown back to the office. Weather was nice, warmish, partly sunny, a light breeze (head on for repeats 1,3,5). (Ride)
Looking forward to running with Jon over the next couple of days and trying for new PR's at Saturday's 5K. |

| 15M with Jon Allen this morning at a 7:04 pace in 1:46. Nice conversational paced run from Community Park down around the Firecracker 5K course, to the river and around the greenbelt and back home through Snake River Landing. Great run, great conversation...thanks for the company Jon! |

| No running today as we went camping in Alta, WY last night and between getting up to watch the hot air balloons take off, breaking camp, driving home visit with my brother and his family and some yard work, there just wasn't time. | | Add Comment |

I ran to the registration/starting line and warmed up with Jon Allen, Lynette and Kari, about 3.5M.
Started at the front of the race in a loaded field today. First mile in 5:14 which felt ok but hard, started to feel it in the second mile as the leaders started to pull away and Jon separated here and I never caught back up to him. Second mile in a slow 5:46 (for the third year, this was a slow mile). Mile 3 in 5:32 so a little better, caught a young guy around 17th street and pushed hard by him to make sure he didn't try to keep up. I remember seeing the finish line up ahead and looking at my watch at 15:40 thinking I would break 17 minutes this time, but I just didn't get it and crossed in 17:03 in 7th place, about 30 seconds behind Jon. This is the same time I have ran the last 3 years straight, so I am disappointed that once again I was far from my 16:30 goal. Ran back to Marcie with Jon then cooled down with a run home with Lynette.
Watched the parade, went to the downtown festival and will hopefully watch fireworks tonight (weather permitting). |
