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

5.25M recovery run on a beautiful morning before church...45 degrees, no wind.  Felt the effects of yesterday's run as today was a bit stiff but not too bad. 

total time: 40:14  (Trigons - 73 miles)

Easy 7M progression run early on a beautiful morning...35 degrees and no wind.  Progessed from a 7:56 to a 6:53 pace over the run.  Ran in shorts, long sleeves, light fleece and light gloves.  It felt warmer that 35 degrees, maybe this is the "spring" version because it had no bite to it.  A little tight in my left calf from Saturday's run, but overall a good start to the week.

total time: 50:50  (Trigons - 80 miles)

7M run on a gorgeous afternoon at lunchtime.  1M warmup with Jeff Fogg, then hit some MP miles (6:14 - 6:05 avg) and then a couple of slow MP (6:28ish) to cool down. Did not want to come inside in was such a nice day.  Lots of runners on the greenbelt today!

Easy 7M run early on a beautiful morning...45 degrees and no wind.  Just  a real easy recovery run (avg. 7:33), not too motivated to try and pick it up this morning.  I have meetings all day long but will try to get a short lunch run in.

total time: 52:44  (Trigons - 87 miles)

5M around the greenbelt at lunch today...62 degrees with no wind!  Took it easy (7:00 pace right on) and had to make a pit stop at 4.8M because my stomach wasn't feeling right.  Then I did 4 strides and 4 bounding strides on the grass in the park then jogged back to the office.  Now back to work for  a 3 hour meeting...ugh!

total time: 35:00 (for the 5M portion)  (Saucony T2 - 460 miles)

2M around the pathway at Community Park while Kami ran 3M and I ran with the kids while they were riding their bikes.  This is the furthest they have ever ridden and Kami is back out running!!!!

5.5M early this morning before heading out ot the desert, so I had to go a bit shorter.  Great morning...45 degrees and just a slight breeze.  Slow progression from from a 8:03 pace to a 6:44 pace.  Slight twing in my left quad at the start but it went away.   I will try to get a lunch run in depending on meetings today.

total time:  40:22  (Trigons - 95 miles)

No run at lunch today as my meetings ran long.  I did get a run in after dinner tonight when I took my daugther to gymnastics practice.  I ran 6M on a windy evening.  Hit 6:46ish splits for 5 of the 6 miles in 20mph winds, the other mile was a 6:15 as the only mile that I did not have a head wind (wind was swirling during the entire run).  Ran from the gym, down Sunnyside across the new bridge and into the new development along the river.  Man, when this development (a mix of residential, commerical, retail and entertainment) gets down, it will be fantastic.

8M early this morning in cool but calm conditions.  It had rained overnight and it was also quite foggy.  Very easy paced run (7:30 avg) as I just couldn't quite wake up and get the legs moving.  Will try for a run later today as I may stay home to get some 'honey-do's' done as part of a mother's day gift for Kami (depends on the weather a bit as most of the projects are outside).

Total time: 1:00:01 (Trigons - 109 miles)

0.75M running back and forth to my son's school to drop him off and then go back for his reading group.

5M run after reading group in decent weather, nice temp and a pretty good wind.  3M easy, 2M at a MP (6:05ish) for an average 6:28 pace.

total time: 31:58  (Saucony T2 - 465 miles)

11M run today up the backside of the Sunnyside hill and down back to Dan S. house.  We started off together for about the first 2M, then I picked it up a bit for the next 5M (doubling back twice to run with Dan S on the downhill and at the bottom of the hill).  We ran the last 4M or so together back to his house.  A lousy day for a long run,  cooler, clody and extremely windy (about 25-30mph headwind for most of the run).  Overall a good run, downhill's were about 5:30ish pace easy running.

total time: 1:15:01  (Saucony T2 -476 miles, time to retire)

5M easy this morning before kids soccer games on a very foggy morning.  I kept having to wipe my glasses free of the moisture building up on them.

I had an unfortunate event last night.  I was at a store picking up some things and when I came out, someone had hit and run my truck and crushed the front bumper and grille of my truck and did not leave a note or wait around.  $500 of repairs (my deductible) that I was not planning on!

total time: 35:25  (Trigons - 114 miles)

1M while refereeing my kids soccer games.

2M running with my kids while they biked around the pathway at Community Park.  Kami ran 3M.
