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

My current routine...16.2M on the stationary bike at the gym in 45 minutes.  Good tunes (Kenny Loggins) kept me going.  Going to the Doc this morning to see about the foot...using a buddies walking boot today to see if that makes it feel better before the visit and he will let me borrow it if I have a fracture (save a few $). 

No fracture!  Just angry tendons that need some rest, Ibuprofen and icing.  Looks like RICE for the next 1-2 weeks!  Yeah!!!
I was so excited I ran to the gym before getting lunch and did about 25 minutes of upper body weights (my pectorals were so sore from last Friday's workout) then went home and ate some pizza before heading back to work!

I now give you the Elaine in Seinfeld's Office song. Get well, get well soon, we hope you get well soon! (Now go eat some cake) lol

From jtshad on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 09:55:09

With my bum foot, I would probably dance like Elaine right now too!

To quote Elaine from the Office song episode: "Now get out of my office!" :-)

Too funny!

From Jon on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 10:37:17

When should we expect to see the results from the doc?

From jtshad on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 10:38:44

I go in later this morning and should know the answer by this afternoon. Cross your fingers!

From wheakory on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 13:59:44

I not going to cross fingers I'll pray that works better :-) Your a strong person and you'll make the best of it whatever the results are.

No better news you could have for today. That's awesome!

From Jon on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 15:50:25

Good news! Would it help to have a TEDS thing like Cody had? Ask him if you want more details.

From JD on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 16:09:28

Phew! Best news under the circumstances.

From Bill Mandler on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 16:21:56
