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

7 easy miles in just over 56 minutes with Craig on warmer but windy morning up and down Sunnyside.  A great recovery run catchin up and having a fun time with him.  My ankle was a bit jacked from rolling it last weekend, should not have worn my old Cortanas! (Old Cortana)

It is President's day so I have the day off.  I slept in and went out after sunrise for my run today and before some morning appointments.  I took Moxie out for 7 miles and during the run I talked with McKay then bumped into Curt doing his run late too.  We decided to finish off our runs together so I dropped Moxie off and ran about 10K with Curt enjoying the company and conversation.  Finished off the last 1/2 mile for 13 miles 1:34 (7:14 avg).  My ankle is still a bit tweaked but ok.  (Cortana Black)

Skipped the run this morning.  I was tired and my right leg is a bit jacked up with the ankle and from bumping my knee really bad yesterday and it is still very sore.  I might try to get a short run in after work or just call this a rest day.

4:30am...went to the gym for an interval workout.  1 mile wu, 1 mile at easy MP to transition to 4x1M with 0.5M recovery.  Splits:  5:27, 5:21, 5:11, 4:55.  Recovered at the end then threw in a fast quarter at 4:17 pace.  Overall 9 miles in 52:10 (5:48 avg. pace).  Right leg felt good (ankle and knee).  (Mirage)

6.5 miles on a nice day at lunch around the greenbelt (Pancheri loop) at just under a 7:30 pace.  Nice and easy, good to get some fresh air in nice weather.  (Ride)

4:15am...ran at the gym this morning, kind of a rough start as I was really tired.  2 miles easy, 4 miles at a MP progression up to 5:50, 2 miles faster at 5:40/5:30, 1 mile easy cooldown.  Saw Curt and Lynette as I was finishing up.  9 miles in 55:49 for a 6:12 avg.  (Cortana Black)

6 easy miles around the greenbelt in 45:40.  Nice day for a run and good company for a couple of miles running slow with Dan.  (Ride)

Kami completes her Ride Across America challenge tomorrow (48 spinning classes since 2/1) and will be the third place finisher in a tight battle amongst 5 folks. Maybe tempers can cool down now and hurt feelings can be smoothed over.

4:30am...ran with Rex and Curt at the gym.  3 miles easy warmup, then into MP progression.  At mile 6.5 Curt said we should run a faster mile so we all did (5:35ish for me).  Ran some more MP, one more fast (5:35ish) then a MP and cooldown mile.  Overall 13 miles in 1:21:40 (6:17 avg).  Not the best of days as stomach was jacked up (4 pit stops!) and I had a slight pain high on my right calf, but I got it done.  Now for an easy day off from work with a couple of church meetings.  (Mirage)

I went to the gym this morning for a run with reservations as it wasn't too bad outside...until about 1 hour later when there was a blizzard outside so this was the right choice.  I ran next to Curt and Marlin who got there really early and were nearly halfway done with their runs.  I ran 15 miles in 1:31:34 (6:07 average) including a couple of fast pickups (0.25M to a mile in distance) and most of the MP miles at goal marathon pace.  A good run but I am tired...nice day to just chill out with the family.  (Mirage)
