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

Knee is still improving, less painful but still has a sharp "twinge" if I move wrong.  Hopefully that is is minor and will recover over the next month. 

1 mile easy walking in the evening, felt good.

3 miles walking on a nice afternoon (even warm, after an inch of snow this morning!).  

Felt good to get my leg moving and it got better during the walk.  Needed to get out to work of some stress.

Very mad and some crap happening to my family, about the go balistic.  

Had some resolution to some of the frustrations with further discussions.

Went into the office today for the first time since tweaking my knee. By midday it was getting really sore from not being able to elevate/ice it a bit more like I did last week.

Got home and iced/elevated/massaged to help it stop aching.

Nada, did not sleep well, put in a 12 hour day and the weather was not favorable.  Plus my leg knee has been aching more after a day in the office.
