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...7 miles with Moxie then another 3 miles solo.  (Ride Orange)

Eclipse day...in the path of totality here in IF.  Hype was we were going to get 500,000+ visitors in town so everything shut down....not happening.  Got a day off for due to the hype though (well, have to work Friday instead).  2 miles after the eclipse around the greenbelt before grabbing a beer.

4:15am...5 miles with Moxie. (Guide 7)

No run at lunch too busy at work.  3 miles in the evening while Justin was at an appointment, just easy to relieve stress. Tweaked my knee right at the end. (Guide 7)

Got up to run early but knee was still a bit tweaked so I went back to sleep. Run later.

5 miles on a nice day at lunch.  Stopped to say hi to my parents and for the second time in a week had to hurdle a snake on the pathway. (Mirage 2017)

4:30am...6 miles with Moxie, got rained on a little.  Heard there was a porcupine in the neighborhood, saw it laying on the street this morning after apparently being hit by a car. Too bad. (Ride Orange)

5 miles at lunch. (Mirage Red)

First XC meet today.

Drove to Pocatello with Justin to drop him off at Poky High to take the SAT.  I ran from the HS to the Just Cuz HM course and ran up the second half (up Mink Creek) then came back.  Took a pit stop, then finished off some more in old town for 20 miles total.  (Guide 7)
