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

Not sleeping well lately, wake up a lot.  Up several times, 18 degrees outside...stayed in bed. Will try to run at lunch if work allows and/or after work.

7 miles after work in the dark around the neighborhood.  Stressful day at work, but good day for home (Justin...NLI!). (Guide 7)

5:00am...9 miles around the Tuscany neighborhood in Meridian (where our friend lives whom we stayed with, 0.25 miles from my brother's house who could not find the time or effort to welcome us).  

Then off to Eagle Island State Park to watch the Nike Cross Northwest races and see Katelyn run.  Warmed up with her and ran a few miles back and forth to catch her on the course.  She ran a 25 second course PR!  Awesome way to finish the season...only IFHS girl to have the dedication to make it to this race (for the third straight year).  Lunch at the Bodacious Pig and then Guru Donuts! Fun day in Boise!  IF Boys ran the Championship race and thought they would podium...21st out of 23 teams. 

14 miles total today. (Supernova)

5 miles on a wet and windy day at lunch, soaked through and through after this one.  At least it was relatively warm to run in shorts. (Mirage 2017)

Long flight home, hard to sleep on the plane.  Tired, may or may not get a run in today.

After unpacking and getting things organized and a few cups of coffee, out with Moxie for a 4 mile run in the neighbhorhood to shake off cobwebs and boost energy before I go to bed early tonight. (Guide 7)
