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 today...recovery day.  Feel better than anticipated after how the legs felt at the end of the race yesterday. 

Family day with all the relatives then swimming in the pool with the kids and a late night movie with my brother, his wife and Kami.

Slept in and didn't get up until 7:30 (everyone else is still asleep too!).  Nice and easy 4M in 32:30 on a cool but nice morning.  It felt good to stretch the legs a bit. 

More family stuff today.

5M easy and early on a nice (a bit cool, but much better than earlier on the vacation) morning.  Nothing special, just a recovery run before heading up to Indy with the family as we prepare to head home.

Flew home this morning...yeah, good to be home!  Went out for an early afternoon run in great weather.  6M down Sunnyside...I hurt more today than earlier in the week!

5M early and very easy on a nice morning.  I am still sore, everything hurt this morning so I didn't push the pace or the distance.  Only run for the day due to recovery and work schedule.

Slept in this morning since it is my day off and went running after walking the kids to school.  I ran to work to finish up an action then ran home for a total of 11.1M at and average 6:53 pace (1:16:32).  Run was good and I finally feel like I am recovered.

10.15M early on a warmer but very windy morning.  I thought I was meeting up with the gang, but no one showed up so I did a solo run in 1:17 and change.  Nice and easy pace, left achilles was a bit twingy but not enough to cause much concern.

Off to help my son with his scouting for food project then the family will visit the pumpkin patch today to get some pumpkins for jack o'laterns.  Did some yardwork too in the nicer than anticipated weather.
