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.  Got on the bus early and had a long drive home.  Got home and was beat and had too much stuff to get done.

My early flight was cancelled but I was too tired to get up early.  I was going to go before the later flight we took, but got busy again.  I did get in an hour of fast walking in the airport before our second flight.  Got the hotel late and just crashed, plus it is raining pretty hard outside.

4:20am...7.25 miles down Common Road to Roseville and back then over to Walmart to pick up some personal items I forgot to bring in one hour.  Nice and easy due to hammy on a nice morning for a run...37 degrees and a light mist.  Off to a day full of meetings.  (Boost)

Long day at meetings, decided to go to dinner (Buddy's Pizza) with the guys.  Thought about running but it was cold and windy and I got interested in a movie then fell asleep.

4am...7.5 miles down Common Road into Roseville and back through the Civic Center in about an hour.  Colder and windy this morning.  Hammy ok.  Another long day of meetings then heading home in the morning. 

Another full day of meetings.  4 miles at 9pm after hitting happy hour with the guys.  My own version of the beer mile...sucked.  Heading home in the morning after a successful trip. (Boost)

5 miles before leaving to go home.

4 miles with my family and lots of others at the Bill's Bike and Run Christmas lights run.  Very nice outside for a run, wish the hammy wad as good! (Fastwitch)

5:30am...6 slow miles with Moxie along Sunnyside on a very warm morning for a run.  Hammy hurt pretty bad.  (Fastwitch)

4 miles in the late afternoon after a busy day catching up on chores (stacked up after a week or so away).  I wrapped my leg and the hammy felt better.  Need to remember to keep compression on it for a while, hope it helps.  (Mirage Red)

6:15am...3 miles with Moxie on Sunnyside on a cool, windy morning.  After dropping her off I went to the store for the group run and ran 7 miles with Tyson at a decent clip.  Came home, changed out of wet shoes and got a bite to eat.  (Mirage).  I went back out for 2 miles with Katelyn through the neighborhood.  Hammy felt better with the wrap again, hopefully this is the key to the cure.  (Ride 3)

With today's run, I am now finally about last year's mileage.
