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

4 miles in about 4 inches of fresh snow.  Tired of winter. (Xodus)  My lower back was really sore (sharp pain) this morning.  Took a nap after church.

4 miles cross country skiing.  The storm stopped and it turned beautiful outside, warm and sunny.  Pretty good skiing at the city park.  Nice to not have to drive 1+ hours to get to some trails.  Skied with our friends the Holliday's for most of the time, nice to have the company and get to know them better.

Lunch run on a chilly but sunny day. 5 miles easy. (Guide White)

No second run. Tired after work and the day got colder after work not warmer. Snow expected overnight.

3 inches of new snow (at least it is a lighter snow). A quick run and snow shoveling. Ugh, ready for winter to be over, tired of cold and snow.

3 miles of XC skiiing after work and before worship service.  Good snow for skiing.

Probably a no run day.  Cold outside (5 degrees) and tired.  Have a lunch appointment and Katelyn has a concert right after work.

6am...10K at 6:32 AP.  Felt easy.  Listened to a good podcast on the morality of "Infinity War".  Interesting and things to think about. (Supernova Green)

3 mile after breakfast. (Glide Boost)

Men's breakfast this morning then my "50 year old" medical check up.

7:30am...12 miles on the TM at the gym in 1:17.  Felt comfortable, knee twinge near the last 2 miles.  (Guide White)

Tried to go XC skiing but my wife's binding iced up and we could not get it cleared. It was snowing and getting cold, so just called it quits. Man, I am tired of winter.
