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

8 miles with Rob on the JRP, nice run.  Thanks for hosting us, Rob, we love seeing all of you. (Supernova Green)

Ate at the Park Cafe (great food and price) then visited Westminster to check in with financial aid and see Justin before heading home.

4:30am...6 slow miles with Moxie. Tired. (Ride Orange)

5 miles on a slightly cooler day at lunch. Had a couple of fit rabbits to chase during this run...caught and dropped both of them. This old man can still find some speed if he wants to. (Tangent)

2 miles as it was getting dark.

4:00am..could not sleep so up early.  6 miles with Moxie on a cool morning. (Supernova green)

5 miles at lunch on a nice day.  Lower back and right knee a bit twingy. (Tangent)

Took Katelyn to our friend who is a PT to check on her calf/soleus issues.  Good news very fixable...doing the stuff I have told her to do based on my experience and advice from others.  Maybe she will listen if it comes from someone else.

Kids 18 hour relay tonight for XC fundraiser. Ugh. Don't want to go to the repetitive meeting and see the coaches or crappy kids. Not looking forward to this year of HS XC.

4:30am..5 miles with Moxie on a nice morning, right calf/achilles a big tight to start. (Ride Orange)

6 miles at lunch on a cooler, cloudy day with a light breeze...nice.  Left ankle twinged around 2.5 miles, walked it out then it felt better the rest of the run. (Tangent)
