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

8.1M in 59:30 on a nice morning...cool (31 degrees), calm and sunny!  Ran fairly steady and easy through Snake River Landing to Broadway and back on the east side of the river. From miles 1-3, I was kind of light headed but it cleared up when I just kept steady.

Nice start to the day, now for more time with the family.

Got up early and went for a run with an old high school buddy (Ron) who was in town to run the Poky 50 last weekend (only got 17 miles due to the blizzard and weather issues before they canceled the race) and his brother in-law Matt.  We ran 6.5 miles from Community Park through SRL then back through Tauphaus Park.  It was great catching up with an old friend, thanks Ron and Matt.   Went home and did another 4.5M from there and finished off 11 miles in 1:23.   A beautiful day today, maybe summer is really here?  

1M with my kid's around the neighborhood, Justin in 9:20 and Katelyn in 10:30!

 A short work week this week which will be nice.  Looking forward to our trip to Logan on Friday and Saturday for Kami to ride the 100 mile Little Red Riding Hood, her first century!

6.2M early this morning in warm and calm conditions in 50 minutes.  Started slowly as everything was still and sore but felt much better at the end of the run. (tornado)

6M at lunch on a windy day with Dan S in 42:50.  Left leg still twitchy so just a nice easy run.  (Defyance)

Tired and sore this morning and almost didn't get out of bed.  6.2M in 49 minutes on a warmish but windy morning, I actually started feeling a lot better by the end of the run.  I am getting too old to get up at 4am off 5-6 hours of sleep every day!  (Tornado)

No run at lunch due to work conflicts.

1M while referreeing my son's soccer game last night.  This was the last game of the season and the boys played awesome, best teamwork game of the year and my son got a great assist.

7M early in warm and very windy weather in 56:35.  Another tired and sore morning but got the run done and felt better for it, but it was tough getting up!  (tornado)

Meetings again today, but hope to get a late lunch run in.

6M at lunch on a windy but warm and sunny day in 40:22.  First 3M were slower (but work!) due to a strong wind, but the last 3 miles were at slow MP (last mile at 6:17) which included going up the hill in Freeman park twice.  A good run, felt much better than the recent morning runs.  (Defyance)

15M in 1:49:15 early on a warm, cloudy and misty day.  It never did rain so I ended up being a bit overdressed but not bad. Ran down Sunnyside, north on Ammon Road, back on 17th to Hitt then north to 1st Street and turned around then back down Hitt and Sunnyside.  Met Curt around mile 11 and ran 2 miles with him to his house then finished off the 15 miles through Stonebrook and Victorian Village.  A decent run, started slower then sped up but never did hit the pace I really wanted as I am still sore in my hips (especially writing this a couple hours later!) and my left foot.  

Kami is riding the Little Red Riding Hood Century tomorrow and today is the kids' last day off school...a big weekend!

4M at a 6:17 average (25:10) after getting Kami off to the Little Red Riding Hood Century ride start with her friend Jennifer.  I ran from the hotel to the course at 1000W just to see where we could meet up with her.

Kami did great, finishing 97.4M in 5:23 bike time (total time just over 6.5 hours including stops and fixing a chain that fell off) for  18 mph average, which was her A+ goal!  I am so very proud of her!!!   Watch out duathlon, here comes the J&K team!

We have had a good time in Logan, we had a really good meal (and beer) at the Beehive Grill with Jen and Tom to finish off the day (along with lots of swimming with the kids).
