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 untimed miles with Moxie.  Right at the start of the run I saw Alana and Shannon who took the shortcut to Sunnyside (about 0.5M) so I picked it up a bit to catch them at the 2.5 mile mark.  Ran with the ladies for about a mile before heading back home.  Nice early run (almost didn't go, this 4:30am thing is getting tiring). (Ride)

Will try to help at the 6th grade track practice at the stadium today. Approximately 2 miles worth of running helping with track practice (warmups, running with kids, running around the field, etc.).  Fun time, but the kids still don't seem to listen very well. (Kinvara)

Took Justin to the school to do some training for his 200m, he did great and ran a couple solid 200m times, getting used to running hard with good form.  He finished up 1.25 miles and I went out to finish 2.5 miles before it got dark. (Kinvara)

Umm I hate to say it but 6th grader and listen well doesn't really go together. Now 6th grader and acting stupid, yep, that does go together. Have fun.

Not to sound like a old fart, but this day and age it's an achievement to just get kids out and moving around.

Yay Justin! We'll have to get Isabelle and Justin together for some running this summer...
