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

Dinner with lots of colleagues! (Supernova Green)

Got up to run early and was just too tired, so slept for another hour or so.  Ran at lunch on a warm day, 5 miles at decent clip. (Tangent)

No second run, instead time at dinner and a movie for my wife's birthday. Good evening.

My right achilles has been sore in the mornings for the past 2 months.  Not enough to not run and it seems to stop aching after getting up and walking around for a few minutes.  But today is was a bit more sore and I noticed some inflammation.  Skipped my run and iced it instead. 

Seems to be a lot of sore achilles with runners on the FRB right now...can think of at least 3 others who actively post who have indicated this.  Can we catch this via a "FRB virus"?

3 miles easy to get out...no real pain with the achilles but taking it easy for awhile.

Skipped the morning run again to let achilles rest.  A bit sore this morning but less than yesterday.

Took one more morning off, will likely run at lunch if work allows.

5 miles on a warm day at lunch...need to get out for stress and just because.  Achilles is still pretty sore and tight, so I kept this one short. (Tangent)
