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

Day off.  Busy with family stuff, church, delivering Christmas gifts and visiting friends.

I watched "Flight" this morning before my family got up.  A very moving movie for me.

4:30am...6 very easy untimed miles with Moxie on a warmish morning with a freezing fog.  Just good to get outside and spend time in prayer.  (Xodus)

5 easy miles at lunch on a warmish but foggy day with an icy path.  (Mirage)

4:45am...6 easy miles on a warm morning with Moxie.  Temps and water made for a bit of a slick pathway.  Left hammy yelling at me again this morning.  (Ride)

5 miles at lunch on a chilly but bright day, nice and easy around the greenbelt.  I saw two bald eagles in one of the nests above the river. (Mirage)

Merry Christmas to the FRB!

Went out around 11am for an easy 5 mile run with Justin on a cool but clear day.  We (and Moxie) ran into SRL and back having a great talk, it is really cool to be able to run and have a conversation with him like this.  (Ride)

I slept in a bit (kind of), got the gym around 7:15am.  I ran an easy wu, 5K tempo (5:36 AP) then an easy MP cooldown for 6 miles in 30:27.

I got the kids off to swimming then went back to the gym for another run, 5 miles in 31:20.  

Blah!  (Boost)

I met Curt, Andrea and Lynette at the gym for our run.  13 miles in 1:21:45.  4 miles easy, the next 9 miles at MP with the last 0.25 at a fast pace (5:15 to 4:36).   Good run.  (Boost)

I went back to the gym with Kami and did a spinning class...21 Km in 53 minutes for 4 miles equivalent at easy pace.  Now I am hungry and tired.  Looking forward to our running group Christmas party tonight.
