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.  It was -18 when I woke up and never got above 0 today.  Spent time with the family just staying warm.  I was feeling a bit blah and had a bad tooth ache after having an issue when eating lunch yesterday (pizza) and hearing and feeling a crunch on a molar.  Just needed a rest day.

7 miles on the TM in 45:30.  -8 outside and nearly didn't even get up today.  Had a great surprise and ran next to Marlin for about half the run as he is trying to get back running after his shoulder surgery last month, he is looking good.  (Cortana Black)

Kami and I are going to the travelling Broadway musical "Rock of Ages" tonight, should be fun to rock out to the music we grew up listening too!

No morning run as I had to be to work early.  Kami and I will hit the gym when we drop off the kids for swim team after work.

7 miles in 42:40 on the TM...hot in the gym! (Cortana Black)

We had a great time last night at the "Rock of Ages" Broadway musical.  Awesome music, a bit risque, but the story was good and performances well done.  Amazing how they pieced together a story based on the lyrics of rock songs from the 1980's.  I think I liked the story in the movie better than the play, but both were entertaining.

4:30am...8 miles in 49:20 (6:10 avg) on the TM at the gym (-4 outside).  2 miles easy, 5 miles at a MP progression, last mile at 5:18 avg.  After waking up, felt pretty good.  Nice to run by or see Curt, Rex, Lynette, Andrea, Aaron, Steve, etc.  I will try to get another run in later today if possible. (Old Cortana)

I went to the gym after work while the kids were at swim practice.  1 mile warmup at 6:10, then into 3 miles at 5:30ish pace.  1 mile recovery at 6:00 pace, then a mile at 4:40ish, cooldown 0.2 at MP.  Good run, felt very comfortable.  Ran next to Jeremy Smith and had a good talk.  Overall 10K in 35:03 for a 5:40 average.  (Cortana Black)

I slept in a bit and got to the gym around 5am.  Ran next to Curt, Lynette, Marlin, Rex and Andrea over the course of the run.  Nice and easy today after yesterday's tempo.  10 miles in 66 minutes talking with friends most of the time.  Now for a busy day off from work.  (Mirage)
