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

Woke up with a tweak in my inner quad above my knee so I skipped the run this morning...higher mileage lately so ok with the missed run.

met up with Erik and we ran on the greenbelt cheering on his buddies running the Fit One 10k. We ran 5 miles at sub 6:30 pace. Got back to Deborah’s and ran 5k in the neighborhood at sub 7:00 pace.  Kind of got my competitive juices flowing again. (Supernova Green)

3 miles running around watching the races at Bob Firman.  Katelyn set a new CR for her and medaled in her race.  The IF teams did really well at the meet!  Got to chat with Dave Holt for a short time, nice seeing you again!

5 miles in 37:50 running moderate at lunch, when I tried to speed up too much my glute would really act up so I just ran at the faster end of easy.  (Tangent)

3 miles after work on a beautiful afternoon seeing as it is going to be below freezing tomorrow morning, so I went out tonight instead. (Glide Boost)

Justin's XC team just found out the meet they were planning on running this weekend was cancelled, not sure if they can find a different one to run at short notice and close by.

5:15am...5 miles with Moxie on a cool morning.  After a cup of coffee and warming up my hands I went back out for 3 more miles. Achilles a bit tight. (Guide White)

3 miles after errands (tires for car, registration, meeting with contractor).  (Glide Boost)

Three people retired from my office this week including my boss.   By the end of the year over a 6 month period of time my boss, his boss and his boss (the office manager) will retire.  Last year out of an office of about 200 people, 20 people retired, this year about 25 will retire and we know now of nearly 10 people next year who will retire.  We have been authorized by HQ to rehire so far...<10 people.  It is getting tough to get our jobs done and motivate people.  We have not hired entry level folks in years.  I have 6.5 years left (~1000 days of work by my calculation assuming leave, holidays, 4x10 work week).  Going to be interesting...now to decide if I really want to put in for my bosses job when it is advertised (one that we hear will be authorized to hire behind).

A bit frustrated that Justin again is not racing (due to illness this time, bug going around campus).  I know I can't own it, but still frustrated and hoping he can stay motivated at all for the team (he has lots of other good stuff going on so running is dropping on his interst list).  

Enough of my rant.  I am blessed with a good job, family and community.
