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

7am...4 miles with Moxie.  Got a bad nose bleed about halfway through it, looked like I fell and landed on my face when I got home.  Spent 2 miles spitting blood and getting a bit nauseous and light headed until I got it stopped.  Once I got it under control, went back out for 3 solo miles.

6 miles in the late morning. Did some chores then went out again after leaving church service due a very stupid un-professional/spiritual statement from the pastor.  Had a good discussion with my pastor friend later in day about this person's condensending statement that helped a bit. (Glide Black)
