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

Ugh, a 15 hour drive home to IF from Phoenix.  Thanks Ted for the use of your van, and to Walter, Kory, Ted and Steve for the awesome companionship on the ride.

10M easy this morning in 20 degrees down Sunnyside and back as a recovery run from the weekend.  Feeling really good, just did not want to push it (plus it is freaking cold again!).

8M on the TM at the gym again this morning in mostly standard format. I did throw in a 5:24 mile at 4M, then several pickups through the remainder of the run.  A little tight in the hammy's and groin, but overall feeling good.

total time: 48:30  (Saucony Stratos - 127 miles)

5.1M with Dan S. around the river on a cool, windy day.  Nice and easy paced as my groin muscles are a bit tight.  Fun to run with company again and we got going up to a 7:14 for the fourth mile, way to go Dan!

6M on the TM at the gym this morning.  Had to cut it short to get to work early today.  Overall a good run, groin tightness is going down significantly. 

total time:  38:04  (Saucony Stratos - 133 miles)

5.1M outside in 35 degrees, wore shorts, long sleeve and a fleece vest!  Good run, 3 easy miles between 6:50 and 6:30, and 2 MP miles (6:18, 6:22).  Felt really easy.  Ran after I dropped off my son at his tennis lessons and instead of sittng there, decided to get in a shorter run.  My wife thought I should have stayed the whole time to watch.

total time: 33:13  (Trigon - 467 miles)

Pretty standard 8M on the TM at the gym this morning, start easy, ramp it up, hit some pickups and a short cool down.  Hit a 5:00 pace for 0.75M from 5-6M, so that was really good.  Ran to blow off some steam this morning.

total time:  48:08 (Trigon - 475 miles

4.75M around the greenbelt on a sunny but cool day (25 degrees with a nothernly wind).  Nothing special, pace at 6:35 avg (1M at MP - 6:20).  Short due to a late start.

total time:  31:07  (Saucony T2 - 360 miles)

7M easy on the TM at the gym this morning.  It was 7 degrees outside and I just did not feel up for battling that temp.  1M warmup at 6:35ish, 1M at 6:25, then 5M at 6:17 pace.  Hamstrings a little tight this morning and I needed to just get in some easy miles.

total time: 44:50  (Trigon - 482 miles)

15.5M easy today with Dan S. on a fairly nice day, a bit warmer with no wind.  Paced Dan for a good MP for his training run and just an easy recovery run for me to get some aerobic mileage in for preparation for next week's Shamrock marathon.  Overall a really good run, running with company especially on a longer run is much better than solo.

total time:  2:02:00  (Trigon - 497 miles)
