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 easy miles on a cool morning before church with Moxie.  (Ride 3 2015)

5 miles on a wonderful afternoon just enjoying the weather.  Leg felt great, pace was sub-7:30 for the run with some 6:00-6:15 pace intervals thrown in.  (Mirage Red)

5am...5 slow easy miles with Moxie along Sunnyside on a nice morning.  (Ride 3 2015)

Beautiful day at lunch for a run.  1 mile easy, then started to pick up the pace.  As I was approaching the bridge on the greenbelt, I saw a couple of runners to use as rabbits to get into a workout...2x2 miles.  First interval was pretty good and felt easy (6:50, 6:30).  1 mile recovery at 7:40 pace then second interval (6:31, 6:29) and felt controlled.  Form held mostly good and the power into the ground was good, breathing was contolled.  0.5 mile cooldown and some hip flexibility drills.  6 miles in 42 miles.  Good first workout in a while so I think I can selectively start addition workouts back into my schedule now.  (Mirage Red)

Too tired and got into a good discussion on faith with Kami this morning.  Will run later today (when it is really warm out!).

Came home to help watch my daughter who was sick and ended up at the hospital with my wife in the ER because she was having trouble breathing and had chest pains.  After a few hours and tests she was released...but it was scary.   Kinda hit close to home as two of my coworkers have passed away in the past 5 days.

11 miles in the late afternoon while girls rested and my folks checked in on them.  Just meandered through town in shorts and no shirt in the 60 degree weather! (Mirage Red)

4:30am...6 good miles along Sunnyside on a warm morning.  I forgot to check temps before heading out, I was way overdressed!  (Ride 3 2015)

6.35 miles with DanS around the greenbelt in 48:20.  Slow going out, but pushed the pace coming back a bit to help Dan with his training for Boston.  Good run with good company.  Leg/glute/hammy felt great!  (Mirage Red)
