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

No run today.  After a long day of meetings yesterday (work from 7:00am to 5:00pm, church from 7:00pm to 10:00pm) I am exhausted.  In addition, my son woke up at 11:00pm with an earache for which my wife took him to the readicare facility and returned at ???.  So I slept in!  I also feel the beginnings of a cold coming on and my hip still hurts.  

Lots of reasons, but the bottom line...a rest day.

I did a quick look back on my running log since partial (2000) and then detailed tracking (2005) started.  I calculate that by the end of January 2012 I will have run the circumference of the Earth (at the equator, it is 24,901 miles).  I am just over 24,000 "lifetime" miles now.  Pretty cool milestone, I think.

Been there with the midnight earaches. Hope your son is feeling better...fend off that cold, brother.

Rest = good.

Now that you've run around the earth, are we running in Shelley on Saturday or is it better in IF. I'm game for whatever. I have some 7,11,12,13 or15 mile loops around shelley we can do. I know most are planning on Just Cuz next week so if you want light we can do that. Really I'm just looking for a group run Saturday. 6:30??. Hope you and your kid are doing better. Running around the earth fact is pretty cool. That's holding up physically and mentally.

Craig, definitely up for a run tomorrow morning. I will call you later today about where and when...I am open too, we can see what others may be up for as well.

I am likely not doing the Just Cuz as my son's swim meet is that morning and Kami and I did not get the calendars coordinated well. So, still may be up for a run next weekend too before you go to Poky to support your wife at the race.

Sounds like a plan.
