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

Did not sleep well at all last night due to the soreness in my legs from the race yesterday.  Finally just got up early which actually felt better.

Great day at church with Jovie getting baptized, congrats Gray and Kari.

Went out for a 20 mile bike ride with my new bike...actually Kami's old bike since we got her a sweet new bike!  Lots of fun getting out with Kami and it was pretty good recovery exercise.  I could get used to putting riding into the mix of my fitness plan!

Afterwards, took Justin to the track for a workout to get ready for his district races this week.  1 mile at 6:41, 400m at 1:24 in a consistent head/crosswind.  Fun to get out and workout with him, tough on fatigued legs though and I felt it a bit in my achilles.  (Cortana)

4:30am...5 easy miles with Moxie on a beautiful morning.  Achilles a bit sore but I think it is just the residual from the race.  Still watch it this week. (Ride)

4 miles on an awesome day at lunch...nice and easy.  The achilles did not bother me. (Mirage)

Looking forward to watching my son run the district championships in the mile tonight!

Very proud of Justin for running a 6:18 in the mile yesterday!

Skipped my morning run to let the achilles rest.  Planning on a run with Gary at lunch today.

Another beautiful day at lunch today, almost hot!  2.5 miles solo followed by 4.25 miles with Gary in SRL, great run and good conversation (thanks Gary!).  1.25 miles solo to finish off 8 miles in 57 minutes (including the last mile at 6:30ish pace).  No achilles issue at all (the left hammy though was tight to start).  (Mirage)

5:30am...10 miles in 1:13 with Curt around the greenbelt and back home.  Nice morning, even a bit cool, and great company.  Some of the miles at the end were sub-7:00 pace, Curt was pushing it up! (Boost)

3 miles with Moxie before meeting they guys for a run.  A gorgeous morning to get in a mid long run with Craig, Curt and Gray.  We also saw Andrea, Lynette, Marlin and Mauri out.  10 miles with the guys then finished off 14 miles in 1:38. (Boost(

After a quite bite of oatmeal, Kami and I went out for a 25 mile bike ride, that was a lot of fun!  I will count 6 miles of easy running. 

Finally, got home and went out for a run with Justin...Kami came along for bit and Katelyn rode her bike!  3 easy miles in 24:30.  (Cortana)

Whew, I am now tired, hungry and thirsty!  On top of that, Justin took my new Saucony Fastwitch shoes which I got in Boise last weekend!  It is bad when your 13 year old son wears the same size shoes...he better not dig into my stash!
