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 but not a day off. Last day finishing off the landscaping project.  Lots of digging, lifting, dumping and spreading mulch.  I am tired and sore.

4:45am...6 miles with Moxie on a great morning. Stiff from the weekend's project. (Guide Blue)

5 miles in 35+ minutes on a warmish day at lunch. (Guide 7)

Today is 25 years to the day since I started this job.  A good run.  Now if the federal government decides to reduce the workforce, I have realistic options!  Time for a few beers after this milestone.
