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

Easy 10K this morning before church on a very nice day (sunny, warm-35 degrees).  I feel really good after yesterday's 20 miler, but I still could not get up to speed early in the morning.  Overall a nice start to the week.

Nice 7M early this morning (4:30) on a good morning...25 degrees, no wind, a bit of fog.  Overall a good run at an easy pace.  Early morning runs along Sunnyside have very little traffic but I use the cars I do hear/see as a "race" to try and beat the car to the next lightpost/tree, driveway, etc. which helps get a little better pace going.

total time:  52:05  (Old Trigons - 579 miles)

8M around the greenbelt with Jon Allen.  Nice run on a overcast and cool day.  Good conversation and a fun run.  Time and distance approximated to an extent due to pressing the wrong button on the GPS but close as Jon had the time and I know the course well.

total time:  55:00  (Saucony T2 - 397 miles)

7.5M early this morning.  Easy pace, right glute tight for first 2M, then better and pace picked up a bit.  Only run for the day as I am heading to the desert for all day meetings today.  

Can you believe the game last night?  Memphis had the championship in their hands and let it squeak away due to such poor free throw shooting in the stretch.

Another very early morning run as I have a full day of meetings at the site.  8M easy out and back on Sunnyside on a pleasant morning (25 degrees, no wind).  Overall a good run, I did have a twing in my right ankle at about 5M but it went away quickly.  Likely only 1 run again today due to work.

total time: 1:00:30  (Old Trigons - 595 miles)

9.5M run this morning.  A little later (6am) than usually as I am taking the day off to help Kami with some honey-do's around the house (shampoo carpets, declutering, taking in donation items, etc.).  Nice run this morning...more of a meandering run to get new scenery.  Overall a good run in ok weather (25 degrees, windy) and I got done just before the...SNOW!  Come on spring!

A crappy run...literally.  I could tell something was off from the very start as my stomach just did not feel right.  Started off at the mall (Kami and I were doing a little shopping and I left for my run after we were done).  Headed out on Sunnyside east towards the 'big hill'.  Insides were jumping around a lot, but it was manageable.  Ran 2M up the hill (from the start of the 2nd leg of to Bone and Back race) then turned around.  It was a windy day and it seemed to come right in your face unless you were heading due south.  Around 8M, my stomach screamed for a pit stop, but there was no good place to stop.  Somehow managed to get to the Speedi-Mart at 10.5M...that was close.  Stomach was even worse afterwards and could only crawl home at a 7:30ish pace.  Got 'er done...but not well.

10M this morning on a beautiful day...over dressed for the run.  A really good run, 2M warmup then the remainder at a 6:30 to 6:45 pace around the greenbelt from home.   A big improvement over yesterday's run.

total time: 1:08:15  (New Trigons - 54 miles)

Faster 5K run after getting all the summer stuff out of the shed (seat cushions, toys, etc.) and before BBQ-ing up the burgs!  Good speed, not quite back to where I want to be.

total time: 19:10 (Old Trigons - 598 miles)
