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

We got into Boise late last night and slept HARD.  Got up, ate and hit the road home to Idaho Falls.  What a great weekend, thanks for being such a great traveling companion, Rex.  Let's do this again!

No run, tired and sore.  Glad to be home with the family.

I got up to go run at 4:30 and was feeling like junk.  Went back to sleep and slept hard (dreaming and all).  Still not feeling very good but have big stuff at work to get done today.

Hood to Coast 2015 results are up and final...Almost Dead Jocks!

7 miles at 7:21 AP at lunch around the greenbelt.  Nice weather, good breeze, feeling a little better.  Good day at work! (Mirage Red)

4:30am...6  easy miles with Moxie along Sunnyside on a nice morning for a run.  Glutes and hammys on both sides are sore and stiff.  Glad I am not doing Pocatello right now.  (Ride 3 2015)

Slow and easy 7 miles on the greenbelt in 53:00.  Hammy and glutes better but still tight.  (Mirage Red)

3 miles with Kami in the late evening.

Still looking to see if my schedule (and family) will allow me to run St. George (or alternatively City of Trees) next month.  Everything at work and with kids seems to be coverging on the first 2 weeks of October.

6:15am...dropped off Katelyn at XC practice then took Moxie out for 6 miles.  I dropped her off then did 4 more solo, pushing the last 2 at slow MP.  10 miles total in 1:16.  Nearly got hit by a car while I was in a crosswalk in a bright orange shirt, and the driver got mad at me!  (Launch 2)

4 miles at Community Park with Kami after taking the kids to school. (Launch 2)

Politics on XC team...tired of this crap.

4:15am...6 easy miles with Moxie along Sunnyside.  No traffic this early on a Saturday morning.  I had to run short and early to get kids out the door and us on the way to Soda Springs for the Cardinal Classic XC race this morning. (Ride 3 2015)

1 mile running around at Kelly Park to watch the kids in their races.  They did really good! (Boost)  Cold morning to start (Katelyn's race, hail just before her race) then it was a lot nicer for Justin's Varsity boy's race.
