No racing, retired.

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

Slept in before getting to work with no early run.  I will try to get an easy run in after work and before heading to a friends for New Years Eve (6 miles in 47:50 with Moxie on a beautiful afternoon). (ride)

A quick review of my running stats (for my own validation) since I started training for marathons and really tracking mileage in 2005. Prior to 2005, I didn't track mileage and ran at most 3 times a week for about 2-5M each time for the previous 5 years (2000-2004) as I was more focused on weight lifting and tennis in this period. Estimate that I ran about 3,000 miles total prior to making running my central athletic focus in 2005.

Mileage pre 2005: 3,000 miles (est.)

Mileage 2005-2006: 3,878 miles (Coolrunning.com)

Mileage 2007-2011: 17,814 miles (2963-'07, 3706-'08, 3760-'09, 3659-‘10, 3725 - '11)

Mileage to date 2012: 3,468 miles (12/31)

Total lifetime miles: 28,160 miles

Happy New Year!  I slept in after being out late at a friends house and went for a run with Andrea and Lynette through SRL and back.  I ran into Curt as he was finishing up his 13 miler to start off 2013 and took inspiration from him and ran a 13K run today in 1:06.  I am feeling recovered and ready to start uping the mileage.  A nice morning, sunny but cold.  (Ride)

Now to have a good family day and take the kids sledding with Curt and his kids.

Family are all plugged in (IPod, Kindle Fire, Wii) so I went back out for a 5k untimed run on a sunny but cold afternoon.  Feet are popcicles, Cortana's are definitely not winter running shoes!  (Cortana)

It was -2 degrees outside when I got up, so off to the gym for an easy run.  8 miles in 51 minutes for an easy early run today.  (Old Cortana)

5 miles untimed around the greenbelt at lunch.  I waited until it warmed up...to 5 degrees, but it was sunny and actually a really nice run.  (Ride)

4:30am...-7 degrees outside, TM it is!  8 miles in 50:30 (6:19 avg), easy to start then an easy progression through MP range.  Last mile a quick progression to 5:22 pace.  Good run even though it was hard to get started.  I saw Gray and Andrea coming in as I was leaving...what is he doing up this early?  (Mirage)

6 miles after work and after dropping the kids off at swim practice.  1 mile easy, 3 miles at 5:50ish pace, backed off to easy MP and progressed  up to MP.  Last 0.25M at 4:17 pace.  Overall time of 36:23.  (Cortana Black)

4:30am...-4 outside so yet another early morning TM run at the gym.  2 miles easy, then into an easy progression through MP range and a fast 5:15 finish for the last 0.25M.  Overall 8 miles in 50:55 (6:22 avg).  Good to see Andrea, Marlin and Curt there this morning.  (Cortana Black)

5 miles at lunch in 38 minutes.  Beautiful clear day and it had warmed up to 10 degrees! (Ride)

It was -7 degrees outside this morning so another TM was on tap.  I saw and ran next to Andrea, Lynette, McKay and Marlin.  I also met a guy next to me training for a 50M named Spencer.

Started easy for a few miles then went into a MP progression and threw in 3 0.25M at 4:17 pace at the end of miles 11, 13, 15.  Overall 15 miles in 1:32:29 for a 6:10 average.  (Mirage)
