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

24 mile bike ride with Kami before church on a beautiful day.  Hip felt really good today! 

Went to see Marlin and cheer him up after his shoulder surgery last week.

I felt like crap this morning...stomach ache and headache, glute was sore from the basketball "bump" from Saturday night.  Also, dealing with a bit of an ant issue so I just did not get out the door this morning, kinda pissed off. 

8 slow crappy miles at lunch on a warm and humid day...gotta get out of this bad mood.  (Cortana)

I meant to get up early and get out for a bit longer before and early day at work, but alas I hit the snooze a few too many times.  6 easy untimed miles with Moxie...everything was a bit stiff.  Probably the only run for the day.  (Mirage)

4:30am...tired (Mirage).

No lunch run, too busy at work.  I may go for a run after work with Kami.

4:30am...it was already 75 degrees out when I left for my run!  8 easy miles with Moxie.  No pain issues finally and I didn't feel tired, just no energy and my legs were heavy.  Need the vacation time coming up!  (Ride)

6 miles at lunch untimed on a cooler but humid day.  Nice to get out, though still not feeling like running hard.  (Cortana)

Ok, maybe it is time to start giving my wife a hard time as she is not alone in her deficiency in bike maintenance...she and 4 other talented women went out for a long ride this morning.  On the way home one of them got a flat tire...and NONE of them knew how to change it!  I keep telling her she needs to learn (I offered to teach her) but she won't do it...maybe now she will actually pay attention!

Slept in and just got up when I woke up...nice!  Had a cup of coffee then took Moxie out for 4 miles.  (Vibram)

32 mile bike ride from home with Kami up the Iron Rim hill then on the Shelley loop.  Great morning for a ride with my wife!  She is such a strong rider...started racing me in the last mile home and I had a hard time keeping up with her.    Nice start to the day.
