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

5M on a glorious morning.  Woke up with the kids to see what the Easter Bunny had brought them then went out for an easy 5M in 35:51 before going to church.

 Happy Easter...the Lord has risen, He has risen indeed!

7.5M in 57:50 on a warmer but rainy morning.  Got up early to get the run done before Kami went to spinning class.  Staying home today with a sick daughter, but will try to get another run in when Kami gets back from work later today.

6.5M up and down the Sunnyside hill after Kami got back from work and school was out.  It was nearly 55 degrees with a light breeze and decent weather at 4pm for the run.  I forgot how good a climb this road is...slow up, fast down for a total time of 43:15 (7:50 up pace, 5:40 down pace).  Glad I went when I did, as it is now snowing hard!!!

I woke up to 3 inches of new snow and windy conditions...TM time!  It was super slick outside so I am glad I didn't try an outside run this morning.

6.5M at an average 6:28 pace, 3.5M just over 6:30 pace, 3M under 6:25 pace.   Nice easy run...looking forward to warm weather in 2 days!  (Tornado)

6M in 42:22 on a surprising nice day at lunch.  Warm with a light breeze and sunny, so I nearly was overdressed.  Retired my Trigon Ride 2 and used my Ride 1's (out of retirement after a long rest!) today as I thought the pathway would be full of puddles, but it wasn't.    Good lunch run!  (Trigon Ride 1

No run today. Decided to sleep in before a long travel day with the family and gave myself permission to have a day off...I think I needed it anyways. 

Made it to Melbourne, FL with no really issues.  Checked in to the hotel on the beach...in nice warm weather.  Found out we forgot a couple of things (tie for me, Kami's hat) and I lost the key to our check luggage!  Had to make a run to Walmart at 11:30pm to buy a hacksaw to cut it off...thanks Kevin for the hand late at night!

Got up early and ran 10M down and back route 1A1 along the beach in great weather..warm with a slight breeze.  Nice and easy after the long day yesterday and a short sleep so the time wasn't fast (1:16 and change).  But a great warm run! 

Sunrise on the beach...perfect.  What a view from the lanai in our room!  Now off to breakfast with Kevin and Jeana (groom and bride for this weekend's nuptials) and a day on the beach with the kids!

I slept in and only got a short 5.1M run in before taking Kami to the other hotel to exercise (our hotel's room is under rennovation) while the kid's and I played on the beach and in the pool.  

Spent the day at Kennedy Space Center, then came back and played on the beach.  I did 1.25M on the beach barefoot, that was fun.  A fun busy day!

10.75M early up and down A1A, then 3.5M on the beach barefoot while then kid's played.  Then we spent the day at Kevin's wedding and played more on the beach before finishing the day with the folks for a few last drinks.  Good day!
