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

10K in 47:15 with Moxie on a nice morning for a run.  Had to make and emergency pitstop, then I felt much better. (Fastwitch)

The kids were at a cantata practice and my wife went to the gym after church, so I went out for a run on a glorious afternoon.  I ran 5 miles into SRL and back in 37 minutes and met up with my buddy Jim whom I haven't seen since he retired.  Man, am I jealous!  (Kinvara)

No run today.  Early flight out, long day of travel.  After arriving at the hotel, spent time with the guys then we had a dinner meeting.  So a day off (as I anticipated but hoped to squeeze a run in).

5 miles in 33 minutes on the hotel TM early before meetings.  I would have gone outside but it was a bit chilly, rainy and I really had not got the lay of the land yesterday in the light of day.  Hot in the workout room and unmotivated.  Hope to get an afternoon run in later after meetings.

5 miles outside in 35 minutes.  Ran after our meetings and lunch and after checking into the hotel near the airport.  It was cool, windy and rainy but nicer than being inside again.  Heading home tomorrow.

10K in 40:30 on the TM in the hotel.  Actually a pretty nice workout facility and it was cold and windy outside and I didn't know the area very well in the dark.   (Fastwitch)

After getting home, Kami, Justin and I went to the gym for a workout.  Justin ran on the TM next to me.  I ran 5 miles in 29:30 with the last quarter of each mile at 4:17 pace.  Glad to be home.  (Kinvara)

4:30am...7 miles on the TM in 44 minutes as a progression run.  Ran next to Marlin which is always a pleasure.  (Kinvara)

5 miles in 38 minutes at lunch.  Ran around the greenbelt on cold, windy, wintery day.  Temp felt like 25 degrees with the wind, not ready for the cold. Looking like the TM is going to become more common for this old body.  (Cortana)

6:15am...12 mile run in 1:32:30 outside in the cold and wind.  Started off with Andrea, Curt, David, Evan and Lynette.  We ran down Sunnyside, over the freeway to Bellin, up to Pancheri then back through SRL.  About 10 miles, mostly running with Curt.  Threw in a couple of faster miles.  Glad I got outside instead of running this on the TM. 

2 miles with Moxie to get her out for a run.  Ran after taking Katelyn to ballet, having a bite to eat and when Kami and Justin went to the gym.  (Ride)
