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

8 miles easy with DanS.  Totally jacked up stomach...pit stop before, during and after the run.  Wonderful weather for a run, how can this be Dec. 22?  (Mirage Red)

Got up early to run, stomach still a bit jacked up, fell back asleep.  Will go long at lunchtime.  Maybe weights afterwork with Justin.

9 miles on a beautiful day at lunch in 1:10.  Nice and easy with no hammy issues or pain (though still a lack of kicking power...but getting better).  (Mirage Red)

SAD isssues bad right now.

Went out a bit early with Moxie for 4 miles before Justin and I met up with Alana, Curt and Lynette for  a Christmas Eve day run.  Ran through SRL and back through the neighborhood for 6+ miles with everyone then solo for a bit.  Nice morning for a run.

Went back out for 1.5 miles with Katelyn in the neighborhood. (Fastwitch Red)

Merry Christmas to the FRB folks!

Bad end to the day.

Felt like crap later in the day.  I went home (from my parents) and to bed at 8pm.

Woke up at 6:30am (10+ hours of sleep) and out with Kami for some deals.  Came home and tried to get the Xbox up and running (finally after yeterday's issues).  Went out for a run in the sun and cold..crappy.  Barely made it home after 5 miles and puked...feel a bit better now.  More XBox frustration then things started working...finally have a not frustrated teenager (and frazzled dad!).  Won my first game of Madden football...then got creamed!  (Xodus)

7am...went to the gym as it was 9 degrees outside.  1 mile wu, then into some MP work and several hard intervals (.5M at 5:00 pace x 2), (.25M at 4:17 pace x 2), 2 mile progression from 6:27 to 4:46 x2.  Some recovery and a fast finish last 400m.  10 miles in 59:15.  Hammy talking on the fast stuff but a good workout.  (Fastwitch)
