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

6.5M early this morning in warmer weather (38 degrees) and no wind on mostly clear pathways (the roads were very icy due to the temps and the melting slush.  Easy run in 52 minutes, saw Andrea out on the path and talked for a bit about an associates court appearance today.   Very conflicted about this whole deal and the perspectives that my friend's have on it.  (Trigon)

PM  - 3.5M at a 6:44 average pace, short due to time constraints.  (Progrid)

I'm interested to hear about that when I'm up there.

Jeff, nice running and glad its warmer but not that warm is it!

Sorry to hear of the difference's on perspectives of your friend, as they say it should all come out in the wash :-)

From Kory on Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 15:42:25 from 134.50.89.55

Good run. Hopefully the outcome is what it should be today. Your friends standards and morals are just different than what you think. Sometimes all you can do is talk about it and if there's differences you just move on to another subject.

Thanks everyone, this situation has been a hard one for me to understand my friends' perspectives. My friends who are supporting this person and I just view this situation way differently (this person is not the victim as they are potraying).

BTW, sentencing result..2 to 18 years starting today!

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 17:04:20 from 90.201.147.190

Ouch, well whatever this person has done, that sentance is heavy so I would prob believe its a not so nice thing they are being accused of! the thing is nobody knows what goes on behind doors everyone is different but breaking the law is in-excusable...... live by the sword die by the sword is my motto :-)
