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

Morning 7M run at a relaxed pace.  Good morning for a run!

Early morning 7M run. Tough start again with hips a little sore and hard to get up to any speed. Avg. 7:18 for run, so really easy this morning.

Nice lunchtime 10K run, good pace with 4M of MP and 2.2M of moderate pace (6:30-6:35).  First day in weeks with cooler weather this time of day...clouds, low 70's, a little humid but what the heck.   Wanted to go out for longer but have a meeting right after lunch.  Taking my wife out for her birthday tonight and maybe a little run with the family.

Very easy 6.25M run this morning.  Avg. 7:25 pace, just couldn't get moving.  My early runs have been doing this lately...just can't get my pace below 7:00.  First mile is hard...motivation and body both struggling to want to run.  By 4M, feeling better but struggle to up the pace.

Nice moderately paced 5.1M run at lunch. Two days in a row with clouds and cooler temps have made for great running.

Yet another slow early morning run...5M.  Started off at 7:47 and could only muster about a 7:16 pace the last 4M.  Just can't seem to wake up...lower back and hips a little stiff and legs just don't want to move.  At least I got some miles in even if they are slow.

4M trail run at site at lunch.  Started off with Ron and Chris Novich and Dave Arzola.  Dave ran with me through 2M, then I bumped it up to a 6:14 pace for last two miles.  Hot but fun on the trails.

Passed 1400 miles YTD today (1403 miles).

Easy early morning 6.25M run. First mile at 7:40, the rest at 7:05ish. Better run than the rest of the week. Easy and relaxed on a day with a good wind.

Nice lunchtime 6.3M run at a near marathon pace that felt very comfortable. Ran for a about 0.5M with Dan from 3-3.5M at about 7:30 pace.

Nice even run this morning. 1M warmup pace at 7:16, then rest of way averaged 6:35-7:05. A little lethargic to start and almost went shorter, but forced myself to make turns away from home to ensure the mileage.

Nice morning run. Easy to moderate pace that was very comfortable. Busy day today with lots of picnics and parties, so no afternoon run.
