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

Day off for President's Day so I slept in and had an easy morning...coffee, Bible study, stretching, rehab exercises and some chores.  Made a big breakfast for my daugther's sleep over, then went out mid morning for a run in the sunshine, cool weather and wind.  6 easy miles along Sunnyside in shorts, and jacket.  Nice day off!

Went to the track with the family and Justin and I did speedwork (or so to speak) for a total of 4 miles.  Ran pretty well for the intervals, not to exhaustion but hard for current situation and fitness.  Justin ran good and set his pre-season marks for the 200, 400, 800m to gauge his improvement (already had a 1600m mark set). (Mirage red 2015)

36 men run sub 4:00 miles this past weekend...incredible!  3:55 from a Montana State runner (relative unknown guy) to top the collegiate ranks is cool too!

Just too tired and sore to get out the door this morning.  Stretched and foam rolled.  Will try to get a run in later (lunch is out due to work schedule) if I am not helping with a school project after work.  May end up a day off...ok by me today.

5 miles in shorts on a nice afternoon after work.  (Boost)

4:45am...6 slow easy miles on a nice morning for a run with Moxie.  Hammy/glute a bit tight.  Busy on the dark pathway this morning, we saw 9 other runners!  (Ride 3 2015)

6.35 miles with DanS around the greenbelt on a nice day at lunch.  Some wind, but nice temps and sunshine made it a comfortable shorts weather run.  Pretty easy pace, still not back to form yet.  (Ride 3 2013)

3 miles with Katelyn then 3 miles with Justin after work.  Great time running and chatting with my kids!  Great weather too!  (Boost)

Really bad night of sleep last night so I slept in.  I went for 3 miles at Community Park after dropping Katelyn off at school.  After coffee and errands, I ran a bit with Moxie before Justin got home and we ran a few more.  Tired but got a lot done today.

6:45am...6 miles with Moxie along Sunnyside.  Dropped her off then 6 miles into SRL and back solo.  Ran into some kind of race going on.  2 more after a break with Katelyn in the neighborhood.  She was running some fast intervals, looking good for track!
