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 Favorite Blogs: |

| 5:30am...woke up at 3:30 and could not get back to sleep. Had some coffee and finally decided to just go to the gym to run (-16 degrees outside). 8 miles in 51:20 (6:25 avg)...I was the only one in the gym when I started and only about 10 people when I left. (Fastwitch)
Went to a men's group with Justin this morning (good that he was willing to come). Good start, not a good finish with a pretty wacked End times prophecy guy talking about his predictions. Yet another strike for this congregation for Justin.
3 more miles then weights with Justin and Katelyn,

| First workout in 5 days. Feeling more energized but now have a cough I can't get rid of. 5 miles easy on the treadmill at the gym in 33;40. Felt ok, never coughed while running. Calf issue seems to be resolved. Good thing sickness and calf coincided. (Guide 7)

| Still have a cough I can't get rid of. Plus busyness of the day with Church and hosting a dinner party for our elderly friend's led this day to be a day off.

| No run this morning, snowed in with over a foot of snow. Had to help dig out 3 cars in the neighborhood heading to work. Site closed, what a storm. Spent over an hour trying to clear the driveway...piles on the side are as tall as me and can't even get the snow over the top anymore.

| 4:45am...treadmill progression workout. Started easy then kept pushing up the pace. I hit the 10K mark at 39 minutes (6:16 avg) and finished off 7 miles in 44 minutes (6:17 avg). Pushe the last part of the 10K at between 4:17-5:00 pace. Felt strong and controlled, no hammy or calf issues. (Guide 7)

| Early flight today. After arriving at the hotel, 7 miles out and back on Common Road and around the library on a 30 degree day (still cold). A bit of an ankle twinge during the run. (Guide Blue)
Afterwards pizza, beer and great conversation with Jason Dodge...love the blog for all the friends I have made over the years and all across the country (and world). I can honestly say that most of my best friends are from running and the FRB!
