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  2025.

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

4:30am...7 easy miles with Moxie on a nice morning for a run, 40 degrees and calm.  Right foot was twingy by the end so this is still just hanging on as an annoyance, no serious just bothersome. (TSD5)

5.6 miles on a cool and windy day at lunch.  I ran easy with Pat and just talked the whole time.  My right hip was (and still is) a bit sore and stiff.  No watch...my Garmin indicated it was fully charged yesterday after my run but was total dead when I started today, what gives with this model?  I like the unit, but really don't like the charge interface and battery life that much.  (Tangent 1)

Only single runs the next few days due to work conflicts so my mileage will likely decrease this week, probably not a bad thing.

Also, if you have the chance check out the African Children's choir during the tour through SE Idaho and Utah:
