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

7:30am...was up early before the family stirred and got some chores done around the house.  Got out on a nice morning for a run with Moxie down Sunnyside. 5 miles in 36:45 for a nice easy run.  (Cortana)

More housework/yardwork today and maybe a ride with Kami if she wants to get out. 30 mile bike ride with Kami...it was a lot of fun and we were cruising pretty good.  Bike a lot better after getting a fitting.

Ran the Foothills to Freedom 5 mile race on windy day.  Hilly course and cold with the wind.  Kinda sucked today and only came in 3rd behind Gray (26:58) and a 15 year old (last year's runner up in XC as a freshman though).   Ran back to bring Justin in.  (Boost)

After some food and bit of rest, back to yardwork making boxes for raised planting beds.  I hope the yard looks good for all the work we have put in this weekend.

A bit of vindication from the blowhard who joined the blog and talked smack and BS last September...and now has wimpered away indicating he was indeed full of s#$! afterall.  Good riddance.

4:40am...had a tough time getting up this morning.  A slow and easy 10K with Moxie on a cool and windy morning.  (Cortana)

Today I have been at my job for 21 years...wow that is too long!

Same run as yesterday at lunch (5.75 miles) in about the same weather (cloudy, windy, cool) but a bit faster in 40:30 (a progression run of sorts).  (Mirage)

I slept in on my day off and went out for a run after dropping the kids at school.  6 miles with Moxie on Sunnyside, dropped her off and took a pitstop then 4 more solo miles to SRL and back.  Overall a decent 10 miles in 1:12.  (Cortana)

5:30am...solo run up Iron Rim and back on a very nice morning (no wind, just a bit cool).  47 minutes up, 37 minutes back down for a total of 12 miles in 1:24.  Saw several other runners and bikers on the hill (including Alana and Gama) Nice run, except for 2 pitstops and some rude and less than encouraging comments from another runner.  (Boost) 

3 miles with Justin easy through the neighborhood.  Wore the Vibram for the first time in a while.  (Vibram)
