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

Kami got me up early to go to the after Christmas sales for gifts and supplies.  After breakfast, went out aroun 10:00 for a neighborhood run in very nice weather...cool but sunny and I was warm.  Moxie ran 6 and i dropped her off as she was limping the last mile, then finished off 1 more for 7 miles total.  (Xodus)

7am...3 degrees outside, nope! 7 miles at the gym in 45:20 (6:29 AP).  Good run. (Altra Impulse)

Really frustrated the last two days with customer service from a bank and our doctor's office, workers being total jerks and not being accountable for their mistakes and jobs.  I try to maintain my cool but am getting to the point with this crap (and with people at work sometimes) that maybe I just should be an ass to get my way instead of being coolheaded.  Very frustrated with people's BS right now.

No run today, started getting a cold yeterday and did not sleep well, woke up feeling like crap.  Not the way to end the year.
