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 < 4years.

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

Could not sleep...again.  Up at 3am, watched the last episodes of "Anatomy of a Scandal" then went for a run with Moxie at 5am. 6 miles on a nice morning.  Moxie now surpassed 12,000 miles running with me in less than 12 years.  My most eager and trusted running mate! (Altra Impulse)

6 mile walk to SRL and back with Kami. (Launch Red)

 As we were in SRL, saw a sign that warned dog owner's that due to 'excessive' dog waste on the grass that owners must keep dogs on leash and pick up poop or they would be asked to leave the property. This was I was walking on their pathway so covered in goose droppings that are shoes nearly were sliding on the path!  You clear the goose poop and I will consider then picking up my dog's crap on your grass!

Had a great time with friends at a summer BBQ last night, including Rob Murphy who came up from SLC.  Kami, Katelyn, Rob and I hiked the Menan Butte Tuff Cone this morning in beautiful weather.  After Rob left, Kami and I went to the gym to lift weights and then clean up the house/yard after the party.
