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

No run today to rest my intestinal track and get over my issues from the race yesterday.  We spent a family day walking around the East Idaho State fair for about 4 hours in very windy conditions.  I am so glad that we didn't run the race today and that I took a day off, the wind was given me a severe headache.

Slept in and went out at sunrise in 33 degree temps.  10 miles in 1:12 through Snake River Landing to the greenbelt and John's Hole Bridge and back.  No GI issues, new felt most good so a nice recovery run on my day off.

3 miles easy around 7:30pm on a glorious evening just to burn off some anstiness.  My left knee and shin were a bit twingy, but I think it was due to the shoes, so the Defyance are now officially retired! 

Wow, what a game last night, I wasn't sure if BSU could pull off the late game magic again but they seem to just have a will to win!  Way to represent Idaho with a big win back east against Va. Tech!

Got up a bit late but still got in an easy 6 miles on a chilly morning (35 degrees).  Left leg was better and wearing good shoes helped a lot.  Back to work, hopefully less stressful than last week. 

6 miles at lunch in 46 minutes on a beautiful day, sunny and temps in the high 60's.  Just nice and easy, my left knee was a bit twingy but not bad.  (Black Ride)

6 miles early and easy on a warm morning.  Left knee a lot better again today.  Got done just before the thunderstorm hit...lots of big lightning and some rain!  I will try to get a run in at lunch depending on work schedule.  No run at lunch due to meetings and thundershowers outside!  Maybe this evening...

I just talked to the elite coordinator at St. George marathon and she indicated that the Master's champ from last year, Pepi Peterson, is running again!  Now to see if I can try and challenge him for the Master's title, but that 2:24 he ran last year is tough! 

Went out after dinner and helping with kid's at 7pm for a quick 5 miles in 30:40 (6:08 pace) which felt really good and relaxed.  Nice weather after the heavy rains this afternoon!

6 miles easy on a cool morning.  Legs felt good, run was normal recovery pace. 

4.15 miles at lunch on a cold, windy, rainy day with stomach issues in 30:15..yuck!

Slept in and went out for my run around 10am after going to the dentist.  10.1 miles in 1:14:30 on a crappy day (cold, windy, cloudy) and with more damn intestinal issues.  I had to stop at 6.5 and 7.5 to alleviate issues.  I was thinking of going longer but by the time I ran by my house I was done.  

I'm beginning to think it might be some lactose intolerance (which I have never had) but it seems worse after I have a bowl of cereal for breakfast. I will work on changing my diet in the mornings and see if that helps.

7 miles in 56 minutes at 4:30am on a nice but cool morning.  Nothing special just easy, no intestinal issues but knee was a bit twingy.  

Taking the Scouts on a 7 mile round trip hike to lower Palisades lake today, should be a nice day and fun to spend the time with the boys.   Left at 8am, got home a 5pm...a total of 4.5 hours of hiking on a great day!  The boys did great and had loads of fun (but very tired legs and feet!).
