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

8 miles in 1:01 on a warm and foggy morning with the pathway being a bit icy at times.  Ran with Moxie and met Curt with whom I ran about 6 miles through SRL and back.  Nice run and great time with Curt.  (Ride)

A great day at church starting off with an interesting and challenging Bible study on the book of Job, then good to see Gray and Kari and her parents (Alan and Glenda) attending today.

7 easy untimed miles with Moxie early on a warmish morning.  Pathway was a mix of snow and slush.  My feet were a bit tender at the start but started feeling better as the run progressed.  I will try to get another run at lunch before afternoon training class. (Xodus)

6 miles in 44:25 on a wonderful day at lunch.  Warmish, light breeze, partly sunny...nice. (TSD5)

9 miles with Curt on a warmish and breezy morning.  A good untimed run as my Garmin died and I couldn't get it to turn on.  I will try to hard restart or just return it to Teton Running and exchange for a new one as I have had issues with this one since I got it last summer.  Only run for today. (Ride)

Early morning 7 mile run with Moxie.  This was an "un" run...untimed, unmotivated, unrested, unwell, unhappy.  (Ride)

I was supposed to get up at around 3:45 to meet Andrea for her long run this morning.  After a late night getting to sleep (finally around midnight), I awoke at 4:40 to my alarm going off...that was the first I remember hearing it.  Realizing that I was really late, tired and still had a stiff back, I went back to sleep for another hour and skipped the morning run. (Fastwitch)

7.25 miles in 49:30 on a cold windy day at lunch.  Normal loop around the river with a bit extra in the park.  A bit underdressed as I thought it would warm up...it didn't. 

3.1 miles in 21 minutes with Moxie after work.  (TSD5)

Tired again this morning, so I ran an easy untimed 10K with Moxie on a nice but cool morning.  (Ride)

6.4 miles in 48 minutes on a nice day at lunch.  Right foot is a bit tender with a little heel twing.  Nothing bad, but watching it.  Kinda like these Fastwitch shoes. (Fastwitch)

I received word today that I made the Saucony Hurricanes Team again for 2012!

14.05 miles in 1:46 early on a warmish morning.  Met Lynette, Curt and Craig at 5am for a good run around the greenbelt via SRL.  Both Craig and I have gimpy ankles so it was little tougher this morning.  Craig dropped off at about 9.5 miles (get healed up and rest, Craig!) and Nate joined us at the corner for the run.  I ran about 2 more miles and turned around as my ankle was starting to twing more and ran the last 2 miles home at a very slow pace. (Ride)

Ran into our friend Corwin who is training for Boston.  He told his about his experience about a week ago running early on Sunnyside when a car turn around, verbally acosted him the took a "shot" at him with either a small caliper gun or pellet gun.  Who thought we would experience a drive by shooting at a runner in Idaho Falls?

Our visitor from Uganda, Africa who is staying with us for 11 days arrived last night around midnight, so I am a bit tired.  After a church meeting this morning, plan to spend the time chilling with family and our guest watching movies and catching up.
