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

4:30am...5 easy miles with Moxie. (Mirage)

6 miles at lunch (fatlek run) in 45 minutes.  Beautiful day for a run! (Fastwitch).

Life is about to get hectic and my promotion was announced to the office and I will start my new position next week (while still doing the old job for a while as I work to transition it effectively.)  Kinda bitter sweet as I really like my current program, but change and a promotion is pretty exciting.

Massage after work, then watched the debate. Had to get out to work out frrustration for a couple of miles around the neighborhood.  This is really then best two people that we have to choose from?  Gah! (Boost)
