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

7M early this morning in very nice weather.  Got out the door about 4:15am so I could be back in time for Kami to make it the gym before I had to go to work.  Kami may be getting more regular in her routine now that the kids are out of school for the summer.  I was going to go hill repeats with Andrea and Lynette but didn't make it and instead did a solo run through Snake River Landing.  This was probably the best early run I have had in quite a while...started easy but ended up finishing strong in about 50 minutes.  Felt really good, energized and the allergies symptoms continue to subside.  (Trigon)

We took the kids to see "Night and the Museum Battle for the Smithsonian" last night, a good movie and pretty good sequel. 

4M easy (6:45ish) at lunch on a really nice day...partly cloudy, low 60's, light wind.  Just easy paced miles to soak up some vitamin D, stretch the legs and relax the mind.  (Ride)

My allergies have calmed too- with a little help from Zyrtec. I find that is much easier to run when you're not blowing snot rockets every 5 mins. :-)
