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

Severe storm blew through yesterday evening and poured down huge hailstones, pretty much destroyed the siding on the front of our house!  Katelyn was home alone and was really scared, especially when funnel cloud warnings were issued as well.  Lots of insurance claims will be submitted tomorrow.

5 miles in mid afternoon and between rain storms. Windy but kinda warmish. (Mirage)

2 miles with Katelyn then 4 miles solo after work on a nice afternoon in the neighborhood. (Altra Impulse)

Neighbor's day...had a meeting in our driveway talking about the storm damage with about 5 of our neighbors, then bumped into 4 more during my run and stopped to chat.  Reinforced that we actually do live in a nice place with nice people.

Pouring rain this morning, plus a tight achilles tendon made me skip this morning.  Busy schedule and crappy weather (cool, wind) led to skipping a lunch run.  Probably an uplanned day off.

Ready for some warmer weather...going to find it for the next 5 days.

4:45am...7 miles with Moxie along Sunnyside on a cool and calmer morning.  Most of the snow that hit last night is gone.  (Guide 8)

Heading to warmer weather for a few days! Long drive to St. George but nice to see sun and have some warmth! Dinner at George's Corner then a bit of walking to shake out our legs.

7:30am...7 miles from the condo (thanks Kim and Tom!) down to the Santa Clara River trail.  To the golf course and back and a bit of wandering.  Heading out for a bike ride and into Snow Canyon today. (Ride Orange)

Great day in Snow Canyon.  Lots of hiking and biking and great time with Kami.  Back to the condo for pool time and some cerveza!  Great vacation day with my wife of (nearly) 25 years!
