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

4:45am...I met Curt, Alana and Gama for an early morning run.  Ran 8 miles with Curt and had a good time just chatting and catching up.  (Ride 5 2015)

Went out for an easy run at lunch.  On the way back I was running on the "trail" next to the river and a root jumped up and caught my foot and I took a hard fall.  Nearly went over the ledge into the river and pulled/strained my glute/hammy that I have been trying to rehab...it has never hurt this bad!  Hobbled back to the building and now just need to see how bad it is.  4.25 miles.

Made it to the hotel late last night after picking up numbers and Justin and Isaac going to party with Claire.

5 miles solo up Cole Rd and back from the hotel.  (Ride 5)

Then a quick bite to eat before taking Katelyn to Eagle Island State park for her 3K race.  Katelyn, Lauren and I warmed up by running the course then she ran the race and did great. (Launch)

Back to the hotel to pick up the boys team and all the families to head back to the park for their Varsity race.  They did really good and more importantly told me they had fun!  (Launch)

Waited around to watch the Championship races and awards (Isaac won his section and took 3rd OA in the Varsity).  Back to the hotel for showers and pizza.  The boys took off for the BSU football game and Katelyn, Lauren and Luke went to the pool and hung out while us adults watched the game and had a fun night.  Been a long time since I was up past midnight!
