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

5:15am...5 miles with Moxie on a nice morning.  Last night we had amazing ligthning and rain.  The storm left the air feeling cool and fresh. (Altra Impulse)

2.5 miles with Katelyn. (Guide Blue)

Driving to Alturas Lake today to drop off Katelyn at Luther Heights Church Camp.  A beautiful drive. We have camped in the past during this week but life (e.g. work) got in the way.

Got up to run this morning but my earache that started yesterday was worse.  Took some meds which helped a bit with the ache, but now am really spacey.  Maybe this will help with my work attitude.  Likely a day off as I have a lunch appointment with a former coworker and a church outing at the ballgame tonight.

5:15am...typical 5 mile run with Moxie. (Guide White)

Busy at work so I skipped the company picnic...an hour drive there and back to even get to it.  I instead got out for a 7 mile stress reliever, even saw Kami walking with a friend.  (Guide Blue)

5:15am...5 miles with Moxie in the neighborhood.  (Tangent)

Drove up to Alturas Lake to pick up Katelyn from camp.  Brought our new friends who had never been up this way, nice time.  Spent time in the evening with my brother and family who are visiting from California.

5:15am...5 miles with Moxie.  Then went down to the race which I have helped with and ran around about 3 miles as I was helping keep the runners on the course for the various events...no matter how much you put out arrows and signs people still miss turns (or even straight aways).  3 miles later in the day. (Guide White)
