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

6 miles in 43 minutes before church on a chilly morning.  This was a really good progression run with the last 2 miles at MP (6:16, 6:00).  Recovery going really well.

I slept in a bit on my day off (Columbus Day...gotta love the federal holidays!) and went out after walking my kids to school.  10 miles in 1:12:57 for a nice easy run on a cool and cloudy day.  Left knee and right calf were a bit twingy but not too bad, I just ran out of energy by the end.

6 slow easy miles on a cold morning (34 degrees, fall is here!).  Nothing special to report, just an early morning run.  (Ride Black)

7.15 miles in 51 minutes on a glorious day at lunch.  I ran the entire time with Pat and enjoyed our conversation and we kept each other honest with our pacing.  A good run to break up the stress of the workday!  (Ride Red)

6 slow easy miles on a cold morning.  It was 30 degrees when I went out, my first run of the fall in tights!  About the same as yesterday time and feeling wise, nothing special just base miles.  (Ride Black)

5 miles on a beautiful day at lunch in 34:49.  I got out late as I was walking my management around the construction project I am overseeing, so I took time for my run anyway to burn off pent up energy...the tour went really well as the project is coming along very nicely.  Now off to more meetings!   Beers tonight with a bud to catchup...a really busy day!  (Ride Red)

5 miles in cold weather and very slow this morning.  I had no energy and the only reason I got out of bed was because my wife literally pushed me out!  Ugh, just tired this morning.  (Ride Black)

Have I mentioned how crappy our neighbors are being?  There is jus no accountability on their part for their actions and for being just mean spirited to our kids.  Their son is just a whiny, mean, un-parented s#$&!  Their house is up for sale...anybody want to move to IF?

Today is one of those days which reminds me of why I live here....it is gorgeous out!!!  I wish I had more time at lunch to stay out for a long run, but alas...6 miles in 41:37, 4 miles of which were with Pat.  We had a great talk about the end of the x-country season here and the upcoming state race at Soda Springs.   (Ride Red)

 5 miles slow early this morning in cold temps before my wife had to get to work.  She had to push me out of bed again to get going, felt a bit of deja vu from yesterday!  (Ride Black)

7.25 miles in 50:33 on a beautiful day.  Nice and steady pace then picked it up for the last mile to slow MP.  Gotta love autumn's in Idaho!  (Ride Red)

11 miles in 1:22 on a nice morning with Curt.  We ran down through SRL to Broadway and back to our neighborhood.  I dropped Curt off and did another 3 miles through the neighborhood to get home before my wife had to leave for spinnning class.

I will soon have a new running partner...our new 5 month old spaniel/collie mix named Moxie.  We finally gave in to our kids pleading for a dog and got a sweet dog from the Humane Society (a pound rescue).  We surprised the kids yesterday and picked her up and had her at home when the kids got home.  She is already part of the family...and house and crate trained already (well, at least mostly...we are learning her timing and missed this morning but now have a better idea).
