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

4:15am...8 mile progression run in 59:20 with Moxie.  Started slow at around an 8:12 pace then continued to pick it up until the last 2 miles were at slow MP.   Now off for a quick business trip.  (Launch)

Congrats to Sam Stosur at the US Open for destroying Serena Williams after Serena's ugly tirade...a true lack of good sportsmanship.

After meetings, it was 98 degrees outside.  Decided a cold beer and Monday Night Football sounded like a better offer!

4:15am...still 75 degrees and lots of lightning out all around.  6 miles from the hotel in 45:20 before heading to the airport to fly home.  (Mirage)

6 miles in 44 minutes at lunch after getting back from my business trip.  Now for a work/dinner meeting and a full day of activities tomorrow (thus no lunch run on Wednesday).  (Launch)

10 miles with Curt this morning at 4:30am.  Up and back down Sunnyside Hill to the dump.  5 miles up in 45:30, 5 miles back down in 30:30.  Uphill into the wind the whole way, in the dark, with lots more traffic on the road than one would expect at this hour (at any hour of day, really!).  Ran down nice and easy.  Gray was going to meet us (and suggested it) and then dogged us!!!  (Mirage)

5 miles on a nice day at lunch in 36:50.  Nice easy jog around the river and back to get some fresh air and destress.  (Tangent 1)

2 mile walk to get rid of frustration.  After dinner, a 1 mile run with my son in 8:07...even with him having stomach issues (and 2 stops).  Great job!

Got up and out the door at 5:30 and met Curt for a 7 mile run in warmish but windy conditions.  Then went home and picked up Moxie for a few more miles.  11 miles total in 1:24:30.

Off to Orem, UT today for Kami to ride the Wonder Woman Century in Payson on Saturday.  I will probably due a longish run from the Memorial Park up Payson Canyon after her ride starts.

Got up at 5:15am (in Orem) so we could make it to the start of Kami's century ride (Wonder Woman all women's ride) in Payson.  Got her off for her 7:30am start and then went for a run up Payson Canyon.  4 miles up, 4 miles back down the another 2 miles on the hills in Payson for 10 miles in 1:06:40.  A good run! 

Then I drove out the Goshen to catch Kami at mile 40 of her ride.   Ended up drive up through Goshen Canyon to see her (cool canyon!!).  Then once she was off for her loop (42 to 58 was a big loop back to the lunch stop) I went out for another 5 miles in 35 minutes.  I was chased by 2 ankle biter dogs for about 0.25M and was running a 4:30 mile pace to keep them off my feet.   I spent about 45 minutes with Kami at lunch then she was off.  I saw her again at mile 70 and 77 then went back to Memorial Park in Payson to watch her finish. 

I ran 3 miles in 22 minutes then waited for Kami.  Unfortunately I mis read the map and was waiting at the wrong corner for her to come into the park (the riders came in from 2 different directions).  She finished strong riding a true 100 miles at a solo 18 mph speed!

We drove up to SLC and checked into the hotel then had dinner at PF Chang's.  Now to catch up on sleep and get rested after a great day!
