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

4am...7 easy miles on a cool and wet morning.  Tired this morning.  (Cortana)

A long day of travel between the flight and drive to our hotel.   No time for a run before dinner so I went out in the dark after dinner...tough run after a few beers and a crab pizza!  6 miles in about 45 minutes on the rolling hills in Maryland.  (Boost)

5:45am...slept in and went out a bit later due to our meetings starting later in the day.  3 miles around town then to the HS track for some intervals.  Ladder workout: 400/800/1600/1600/800/400.  Nice that they had the bathrooms open at the track for a pitstop too.  Afterwards went out for some more miles around town to finish off 12 miles in 1:28.  (Boost)

Decided to skip the run after work and instead go to the Orioles/Yankees game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.  Great evening at the park and good to see the Yankees lose in the 10th innning on a walk-off home run!

4:15am...7.5 miles in an hour around town.  As I was stepping outside to get going, I heard a voice asking if I knew where to run.  I ended up doing the whole run with another runner named Katie.  Good to have company on a dark morning.  Heading home this afternoon.  (Boost)

Worst movie ever on the plane...The Great and Powerful Oz really is a bad movie.

5:00am...went out for an easy untimed run with Moxie.  7.25 miles on a cold morning, my hands were icicles by the end of the run. (Cortana)

A full day (all day!) of yardwork...mowing, trimming, clearing out raspberry patch, covering planter beds, etc.   Good thing we have a fun dinner night planned to cap off all this hard work.

5:30am...nice run around the greenbelt and through Freeman Park with Gray.  Great company and conversation to start off a beautiful day.  12 miles in 1:23, a little progression run ending with pace in the 6:40 range.   (Boost)

Now for more yardwork today.  A bit sore this morning from yesterday' efforts (as well as a bit hungover from the beer pairing dinner last night!).
