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

7.05M easy this morning for my normal early morning run.  Started slow and sped up to stay about 7:30ish for the last 3M.  Nice morning, clouds starting to roll in but will try to get between 7-9M at lunch today then a long run (18-20) tomorrow with Andrea and McKay.

total time:  55:24  (Trigon 2 - 282 miles)

10M at lunch with Pat Bragassa, a high quality runner and 2008 US Master's Biathlon National champion!!  Had a nice 6:55/mile paced run with great conversation.  This was a fun run, one we have been trying to get together to run for a while and we happened to hit the locker room at the same time. 

(Trigon 1 - 446 miles)

Are you sure it wasn't 7.06? ;)

From jtshad on Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 10:12:14

It was actually 7.0492, but I rounded up to get a nice round number on my mileage board page, not that where I am on that page matters!

From Jon on Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 11:06:15

Oh, I see. Yeah, it does look better with that official round number. But expect to be harrassed by me if you start putting run distances such as 13.58 and 6.02 in the future...

From jtshad on Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 11:08:44

Maybe I should do that just to bug you. I don't see you giving Kory grief for his detailed mileage entries, so why pick on me? ;)

From Jon on Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 11:26:13

Cause I don't know Kory well enough to harass him like that. Only a few people are [unlucky enough to be] on that list- you, Paul, Cody, James, Adam, etc.

From dave holt on Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 16:23:15

Who is this etc. guy? I've heard he is a jerk.

From Jon on Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 16:55:39

Some people like him, some don't, but he sure is everywhere!
