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

3 miles early.

I was working on installing a ceiling fan, lost my balanced and stepped awkwardly off a short (<3 ft) step ladder and tweaked my knee.  

Finished the installation, swore, had a drink.

I woke up and my knee hurt significantly more than yesterday.  

I went to the doc and he thinks it is slight meniscus tear (I think it might be an IT band issue).

Going to RICE it for this week and work on letting it heal for the next 6 weeks.  Doc said stay active and do what you can until pain says no (go back gently into activity).  At 6 weeks let's see how it feels and decide if more diagnosis is necesary if it does not feel like I am back to 75-80% of normal. Next step would be an MRI.
