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 this morning as a big storm was rolling through...heavy rain and LOTS of lightning in the area.  Try for a run at lunch and a speed workout with Justin after work.

No lunch run, too busy at work.

Hit the gym with Justin after work because of the impending heavy rain coming.  Justin did great running 5 miles, with 5x0.5M at 5:52 pace or better for each interval.  I ran a total of 6.25 miles with 4x0.75M at 4:52 or better, 1x0.5M at 4:30 and a quarter at 4:17.  After changing treadmill's after our warmup (could not keep pace), I hit the 5K mark at 16:30 and finished 5 miles at an average 5:19 pace including recovery and cooldown.   A good workout today, been a while since I have done one of these.

7 miles early on a cold morning (36 degrees) with Moxie.  Went back out for a mile with Justin to get ready for his race  this afternoon by running after trying out his enhaler, it seemed to help with his breathing.  (Ride)

Going to the gym with Kami to do weights after taking the kids to school.

I ran the Shelley Spud Run Half marathon today with what seemed like 90% of our running group.  Craig was the RD and put on a great race. A very nice course too!    About 40 runners so a small event and treated this like a good hard training run.   Ran solo from the gun and just ran nice and steady to not aggrevate my hip and it felt really good.   Ran to an easy 1:22 finishing time then went back out and ran in Nate, Curt, Lynette and Marlin.   A total of just over 16 miles with the warmup and cooldown runs.  Great morning for a run with great friends!   (Boost)
