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 Favorite Blogs: |

| I slept in and went out around 7:30 with Moxie for 2.5 miles around the neighborhood before meeting the crew for a run. Met Gray, Craig, Andrea, Marlin, and Tim at the corner...ran 6 miles with Craig and 10 miles with Gray. Ended up with 14 miles in 1:50 on very slick surfaces...snow covered ice for most of the run.
Happy New Year.

| I went to the gym with Justin and we did a hill workout. 1 mile easy then 0.5 - 0.75 mile hill repeats at slow MP, ranging from 2% to 7% incline. My last mile was a fast mile at sub 5:40...my legs are trashed. (Tangent)

| I ran 5 easy miles with Moxie then picked up Justin and we went to the store for the group run...a big crowd today. We ran 6 miles together around the southern greenbelt loop then up to Broadway. 11 miles total in just under 1:30. I am tired. (Ride)

| I went to the gym with Justin to run this morning (1 degree outside) and EVERY SINGLE TM was being used...mostly by walkers. So, we lifted weights instead. I will try for a run later today.
5 miles during a late lunch run around the greenbelt. Sunny but cold, untimed. (Mirage)

| No early run today. I tried to get up but didn't feel very good. Very stiff neck and tender shoulder and just tired. I will try to get in a snowy run at lunch and hit the gym after work with Justin for a hard mile repeat workout for him.
5.25 miles doing loops around Freeman Park on a snowy and icy pathway in a cold wind. Just got this one done and glad of it. (Xodus)
Hit the gym after dinner with Justin for some speedwork. 1 mile easy, 1 mile at 5:10, 0.5M at 4:52, 0.25M at 4:17. A total of 5 miles in 29:50. (Tangent) Left hip was a bit sore but marshalled through. Justin got down to 4:52 pace during his speedwork!

| Slept in and went to the gym with Justin and Kami. Justin and I just ran fairly easy, with some..."faster running" thrown in (I can't say "speed" anymore unless it is less than 10 seconds). 8.5 miles in 52:10 (6:08 avg). No niggle in my hip (yes, niggle is the proper term as a "small annoyance or concern"). Justin did great and ran a 10K, proud of his dedication and commitment. (Boost)

| FRB PC report to meet terminology police standards: 16.75 miles outside, slow.
My report using MY words:
I went outside on a warm morning for a slow long run. 7 miles along Sunnyside with Moxie then I dropped her off and went back out solo through SRL to Broadway and back. I ran into the store running group on the way back and caught everyone, even had a few guys try to catch and push me for a bit. I picked it up to 5:30 pace for about 1 mile to drop them, felt good to run faster this late in the run. Had some hip pain throughout the run that was slowing me quite a bit in the last mile or so. Lots of runners out today, including Alana and Curt who I saw I as I was finishing up. (Mirage)

| Went to the gym with Kami mid afternoon and did two progression pickups. Started easy then increased up to 4:55 over the course of 3 miles. Started at easy again and progressed up 0.1mph every 100m for the next two miles ending up at 4:55. Last mile at MP then the last 0.25M at 4:17. 6 miles in 35:48. (Tangent)

I went to the gym while Kami was at church and the kids were at swim practice. 1 mile wu, 3 mile tempo at 5:21 AP, 2 miles easy. 6 miles in 35:10. I hate running after dinner, man my stomach did not like that! (Tangent)

| 5 easy outside with Moxie this morning...slow and tired and a bit sore, this was probably more to get Moxie out than me. (Ride)
5 easy around the greenbelt at lunch. A bit of a twing in my right foot but nothing to work about.(Mirage)

| It was cold outside this morning, so I went for a run in the early afternoon after church. Sunny and warmer (still a bit cool in the shady parts), 6.5 easy miles with Moxie. A bit of a twinge in my right ankle and sour stomach for the whole run. (Mirage)

| I had to be at work really early, so I set the alarm equally early (3:30). I decided that 2 days in a row at this time is just too much for my old body. I turned off the alarm, went back to bed and will try to get a run or two in later today.
6 miles after work in 40:30. Felt ok, really tired but tried to focus on knee drive instead of foot quickness like the TM promotes. Need to work on putting both together on more hard outside runs to be ready for Boston. Nearly got hit by 2 cars not paying attention at crosswalks...stupid drivers. (Mirage)

| 4:30am...I met John Coyle down on the greenbelt for a quality workout this morning..first outside hard early run in a while. We ran a loop easy for a warmup then into some hard effort. I ran with John for about a mile then my goal was to keep him in sight (in the dark) for the remainder...mostly was able to do this. We then cooled down for a lap+ and called it good. Nice to have someone to help push me a bit...need a lot of work to be ready for Boston!
As we were talking, I mentioned that I ran the 08 US Masters marathon championship, he said he was still running in high school then...man I am old. (Boost)
5 very easy miles on a beautiful day at lunch around the greenbelt. Very easy, hips a bit tight from this morning. (Mirage)

| I woke up this morning feeling like crap...shoulder hurt, groin discomfort and my jaw was on fire, it felt like I have been smashed in the face. I skipped my run (sorry Justin for having to run in the basement). Probably be a day off as I have a funeral to attend at lunch and we have Bible study tonight so no time.
5 miles after work in just over 30 minutes with Moxie. Ran from home to SRL and back and saw Jamie and Peter. I needed this run as a stress reliever from work today. Jaw issue was from stress this morning. (Mirage)

| 4:40am...7 miles on a warm and breezy morning with Moxie. Snow and ice on the pathway made it a bit slick and slow.
6 easy miles with Dan around the river at lunch on a warmish but windy day. Pathway was really sloppy and slick in areas. One local hick/jerk purposely drove into a puddle to throw a huge wave of cold and dirty water all over us...gotta love nice people. (Xodus)

| I went to the gym early to get a run in today as I have meetings this morning and Kami has to work. 1 mile easy then slow MP into a progression up to threshold pace (6:22 to 5:00) over the next 6 miles with two faster quarters (4:45, 4:17). 7 miles in 41:53 (5:59 AP).
I went home to get Justin to come back to the gym with me but he was tired and his legs were sore from swim team practice. So, back for 5 more miles. 1 mile at slow MP, then into a 5K effort run (17:15), followed by a MP mile. 5 miles in 29:20 (5:52 AP). Tired and hungry now. (Boost)
