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

Went out for a training run with Justin after church and homework time.  We ran easy to Community Park then did a race simulation for 1.6 miles (distance of the championship race this week).  Afterwards talked about the run then easy back home with a few hard pickups.  5.5 miles total today, fun time and good connection with Justin.  (Mirage)

Slept in and went out with Justin and Moxie for 2 miles before school.  Then went out a bit later for 8 miles easy in 1 hour around the south loop of the greenbelt/SRL.  Nice morning for a run.  (Ride)

Went to the gym to lift weights with Kami then stopped by XC practice.  Ran 2 miles with the coach then ran intervals pacing the fast boys.  (Mirage)

Did not make it out for an early morning run...my hammy was quite tight, my shingles were burning and itching and I felt blah! 

8 miles in 57:40 on a nice day.  Just an easy cruise. (Mirage)

I went to the gym this morning to run on the TM while Kami was spinning.  A good hardwork:  3-2-1-0.5M.  Easy warm up then 3 miles (5:39, 5:30, 5:21), 2 miles (5:21, 5:13), 1 mile (4:57), 0.5M (4:36 pace).  0.5M recovery in between and 1 mile cooldown.  Overall 10 miles in exactly 58 minutes.  (Boost)

Slept in and went out around 7am for a 12.5 mile run with Lynette.  From our meeting spot through SRL and around the greenbelt.  On the way home we ran by the store and ran with the folks at the group run (mostly with Gray) then headed home.  Total time of 1:35...left hammy tight the whole time.

Nearly immediately went into doing yardwork...getting tired.  (Mirage)
