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

5:30am...slept in, tired...4 easy untimed miles with Moxie on a cold morning.  (Ride)

6 very easy miles at lunch today on a beautiful day for a run.  I think that my chronic left hammy pain may be sciatic pain.  Have to look into this more.  (Mirage)

No run this morning as I had to get to work early and I was a bit tired.  Hope to get a run in at lunch or afterwork before evening activities kick in.

My father in-law went back into surgery today to get two more stents placed in his artery.  Praying for a steady hand of the surgeon and a successful procedure that leads to some improved and long life for him.  Dad did great and the surgery was a success.

No run today, too busy at lunch and after work.

Learned a bit more about coaching kids tonight.  Saw an example of how not to coach and motivate kids (despite other non engaged parents singing praises).  I have not in the past, don't now and won't in the future try to motivate kids like the example I saw.

Went to the gym with Justin this morning to run next to each other on the treadmills, that was fun and exciting to be able to do this with him.

6 miles at lunch. (Mirage)

No run today too busy at work.  Tried to get up at 3:45am to run...didn't happen.  One of those days.

4am...5 easy miles with Moxie in the cold and dark. (Ride)

Tired after a long day at work yesterday, but it was a VERY good day.  Proud of my team at work as a couple of Senate staffers left our meeting indicating that we set a new standard.  More visits today and they left very impressed and all of us very happy.

7 miles in 50 minutes in the afternoon after work...beautiful day for a run! (Mirage)

5:30am...11.25 miles with Curt and Lynette on a river pathway loop through SRL.  Nice to such good company for these runs!  (Boost)

I ran with Justin on a beautiful afternoon. 1 mile warmup around Freeman Park then we ran the State XC course...a pretty tough run.  Justin ran a new 5K PR!  We then cooled down for a nice 5.5 mile run.  Very proud of Justin!  (Tangent)
