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

5am...met Curt, Patrick and Blake for a run up and back down Iron Rim.  Reached the top (4 miles) in 33:55.  Had to hurdle a rattlesnake in the middle of the road around mile 3...that woke us all up!  Back down in 26 minutes (ran with the guys for about half then pushed a bit harder for the rest )for a total time of 59:57.  Good start to the day, leg and glute felt great today. (Altra Impulse)

10K on a warmish day at lunch (good breeze though) at a mostly easy pace. 1 mile faster racing Ron on the other side of the river from bridge to bridge.  Hammy/glute ok on this run. 48 minutes. (Fastwitch)

3 miles giving some coaching to our young friend Isabelle.  Good run and she was very eager to learn some tips.  (Boost)

8 easy miles at lunch on nice but warming up day.  Starting temp ok, started to get hot by the end.  Early in the run I was munched on by a horse fly on my head...ouch! (Fastwitch)

7am...met DanS at his house and we ran to Ammon Rd and then up through Henry's Canyon up over the top to the Iron Rim road and back down to his house.  14 miles in about 2 hours on a very warm morning (near record temps). (Ride 5)

After a quick breakfast, 12 miles on the mountain bikes around the greenbelt with Kami and Katelyn.  Windy.
