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 < 4years.

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

4:30am...8.5 miles with Curt in 1:07.  We ran through SRL to Broadway and back.  Thanks for the company and great conversation.   During the run I had a slight twing in my right groin, but it seemed to go away after about a mile. (Kinvara)

Not looking like Pocatello will work as my son's XC meet starts at 10:20 and the race starts at 8am and is about 1 hour away from the meet.  Priority is on Justin's first meet!  Now, to run the the Mesa full or half this weekend, or not at all??

10K in 41:07 at lunch on a beautiful day.  Started with an easy w/u mile (7:05) then tried to run at goal MP for the rest.  However, everytime I would get to pace, my right groin would really start to hurt and is still hurting after the run.  Maybe my decision on Mesa has been made for me.  Splits: 7:05, 6:34, 6:34, 6:30, 6:29, 6:35, 0.2 - 1:18.

Jeff,

If you need transportation to get the Powerbar stuff to Pocatello just give me a call. I am in IF 2-3 times per week.

Race from 8:00 to 9:16. Have a waiting car. One hour drive. Arrive at Justin's meet at 10:20. The meet will probably be behind schedule anyway.

Bill, I got most of them to Mike and should be able to get the rest to him next week but will keep your offer in minde. Hope you are doing well!

Rob, I am thinking hard about what to do. It is just at an hour to get there and would hope for a bit of a delay in their race. However, if we get held up in traffic? There is a coaches/citizen's 5K before the kids start at the Soda event that I might do if I don't do Poky. Plus, this damn abductor issue I just developed...

The coaches/family races are always fun.

Sorry about the aches. Be careful. At this point you know what you can run through and what you can't right?
