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

A day of recovery walking around the Eastern Idaho State Fair with my family...what a great day! Legs feel good, just a bit stiff in the calves and my abductors are a bit sore as well but I don't think of any injury concern.

We were at my family's house and I was stung by a wasp in the back of my leg, man that hurt and those are nasty buggers!

Out for a great morning run with Curt in the fall weather morning...brisk with a bite too it, gotta love running in fall weather. 8 miles in 1:04 for a nice easy recovery run with great company.

I will go back out in a bit with Justin (and hopefully Kami too) for a training run to keep him on track for his XC season.

Justin, Kami, Moxie and I went out for a training run. Kami ran 3 miles (yeah!), Justin, Moxie and I ran 3 miles with some intervals in 26:00. Justin and I cooled down for 0.5m for a good start to the week!

4:30am...6 easy untimed miles with Moxie. Calves a bit sore still, also need to retire this pair of Rides. (Old Rides)

First day of school for the kids. No lunch run due to work commitments.

4:30am...6 slow easy miles with Curt and great conversation. Thanks for the company. (Ride)

No lunch run due to work commitments. Alos, horrible air quality on the dessert due to all the fires in the area. I feel bad for the runners at the Salmon Marathon this weekend.

I met a new pontential training partner yesterday who is back in town for a few months and we have plans to run our longer runs on weekends...David Jankowski! Good to have guys (he and Gray) who will really make me work on hard runs in addition to my other friends (Curt, Craig) who can provide good company on good honest efforts days. Getting have a great running community here in IF.

4:30am...6 miles with Moxie on a very nice morning for a run. Legs are recovered from the marathon, just tired this morning. (Ride)

Still a bit more sore from the race than I thought this morning! 7 mile run at lunch in 51:50 on a cool, cloudy and a bit humid day. Took it nice and easy with some slow MP pickups. Felt good until the last 0.5M when my right hammy really tightened up. Time for some stretching and rolling. (Cortana)

4:30am....went out for an easy 5 miles with Curt before planning on meeting Craig at his house for a run. My right hammy was really tight and never loosened up so I decided to end the run and listen to my body so I had to bag the run with Craig...sorry.

Kami convinced me to join her at spinning class today which actually loosened up my hammy. I rode 28 km in 1 hour at spinning so I will count this as 5 easy miles.

Now for a busy day off. Chores and errands, dealing with a sick daughter and going to the XC meet tonight. Then I am driving Justin up to Island Park for a church activity and back...long day!

Slept in a bit and went out for a longer run with David Jankowski. 13.1 miles in 1:32:53 through SRL, greenbelt and Freeman Park. Nice conversation and good to her his stories of being a professional runner (2:16 marathon, 28:14 10,000m) with Hanson's and ZAP. Got some pointers and thoughts on TCM. Good to meet another great runner here in IF. Say lots of runners out this morning including Shannon, Shelly, Alisa, Lynette, Andrea and Deborah.

Very proud of Justin for competing hard in the Tiger Grizz XC meet yesterday. He ran a 12:02, which is good but still has some room to improve.
