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

6am...10 miles with Moxie in 1:16:03 (7:36 avg).  Nice easy morning run on a beautiful day down Sunnyside and through SRL to Broadway and then back home with a loop through the neighborhood to finish off the mileage.  Moxie did great but was slowing down and so we ran a bit slower than I was wanting today...but it is fun to have the running companion!

7 miles very slow and easy with Moxie on a beautiful early morning.  I was really tired and slow and didn't feel like I was running until about 6 miles in when I bumped into Andrea and Curt.  Hope for a better run at lunch.  (TSD5)

6 miles on a warm day at lunch in 41 minutes.  1 mile w/u, 2 miles at MP then my intestinal issues arose...dang Honey Nut Cherrios and the whole grains/fiber!  (Mirage)

6 very slow easy miles early with Moxie on a nice morning.  Tired this morning and had to go short as I hit the snooze button a few too many times.  Some of the slowest miles I have ever run, the first 3 miles my glutes were sore and I had a hard time doing much more than a shuffle.  Hoping for a more energetic run at lunch. (TSD5)

4 miles in 26:40 at lunch on a beautiful day on the desert.  First 2 miles in 14 miles, next 2 miles in 12:40.  Overall a good short run (normal for my site days).  (Mirage)

7 miles slow and easy through SRL with Moxie...normal 4:30am run.  (TSD5)

4 miles at lunch in 26:50.  Later than yesterday's run so it was about 15 degrees warmer and much more wind out today so this is equivalent to yesterday's time.  Plus, the extra work stress today...don't know if it hurt or helped.  (Mirage)

Not looking forward to tomorrow...feeling old already.

8 miles with Moxie on a nice morning for a run in 1:04.  Just the normal early run...but I feel old today.  (TSD5)

We had our company picnic today and as part of it there was a fun run (1 mile and a 5k).  What is strange is that there were only 4 people who took advantage of exercising on the clock and outside before the lunch started on a beautiful day!  So, I ran the 5K easy for fun in 18:58 (each l mile lap was progressively faster), a couple of miles cooldown and over to get my son to run the 1 mile.  He did it in 8:35!  

Spent the rest of the afternoon at the picnic and with family.  14.3 miles on 43rd birthday...ok so it is not 43 miles or 43K, but it is what it is.

I slept in on my day off and went out after sunrise!  10.25 miles in 1:15:55 (7:25 average) with Moxie (her longest run ever!) through SRL and to Broadway and back.  I ran on the pathway in SRL and put on a couple of extensions to get the mileage on a beautiful morning!  

Yesterday I developed a pain in my right foot/heel that is aching pretty good.  It is more painful when not running and is bothersome.  It is runnable but not race-ready so I am going to skip the Kelly Canyon Half Marathon tomorrow and instead run in the foothills while Kami bike's the roads...a better offer anyways and something to do with her on her birthday!

1 mile with the kids and the dog after they awoke.  My daugther did the mile in 9:30 and son in just over 8 minutes!  Wore the VFF for this short run and to see how my foot responded.

12 miles in 1:21:09 (6:46 average) in the foothills on the big rollers.  Had an exercise date with Kami for her birthday....I ran and she biked up on the way to Bone on a beautiful morning.  We slept in and started the run/bike at around 7:30.  A good morning and now for a day at Kami's company picnic and dinner for Kami's day!

Foot was doing ok until I was driving home then it started to hurt a bit again...glad I didn't try to race on it this morning.  Congrats to Nate and Lynette for running great races at Kelly Canyon HM, Lynette in a new PR of 1:30!
