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

No run today as I am still recovering from Friday night (finally feeling better), but mostly because I have a busy day at Church again today and have plans for family activities.

7M in 57 minutes on a warmish (39 degrees) but very windy (30 mph) day.  Nice and easy and early before getting on a plane to Detroit.  I am tired of traveling...(Trigon)

5M on the TM at the hotel in Detroit because it is nasty outside (wind, rain, cold) in 32:15.  1M easy, then 4M starting at slow MP and progressing up to 5:52 pace.  (tornado)

6M in 40:30 on the TM at the hotel because I didn't feel like facing the dark and the cold outside this morning.  Off to a long day of meetings. 

7.5M at 7:06 pace on a nice evening after finishing up a long day of meetings.  Fly home early tomorrow (and glad to be home).

6M very slow this morning, but good to be running in IF again.  Will get out again at lunch. (tornado)

6.5M in 44:15 (6:48ish pace) around the greenbelt on a cool overcast day.  I wasn't sure if it was going to rain or not but it held off.  Easy paced run and was actually outpaced by Dan S today...his training is looking great for Boston!  (Trigon)

Slept in and didn't hit the road until about 6am. I ran 9M at a 7:35 average pace on a cool and windy morning. Started off slow (8:30) then sped up to 7:15ish pace for several miles. I went out for 3M after dropping the kids off at school in 22:50.  Now off to Boise for the weekend.

8M run in the Boise foothills with my buddy John.  Great trail run, I haven't done that in a while.  Nice conversation and good times climbing the hills n 1:03. 

Kami did a 27 mile bike ride while I took the kids to the discovery center.  Then we did some shopping before taking the kids to "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"...good movie!  Dinner, shopping, swimming in the hotel pool...a great family day!
