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

7.2M at the gym (13 degrees outside...nope!) in 44:14 (average 6:08 pace).  5x0.5M intervals at 5:40 pace or better (5:00 pace for last 100m of last 2 intervals).  Felt ok this morning, more motivated than yesterday.  Hope to get a run in at lunch today!  (Stratos)

Only one run today, got to busy at work then when I got home (let us go early for the holiday!) I spent time with family instead of running.   No worries as the cut back feels good both mentally and physically.

Don't think I am going to run the Thanksgiving day race tomorrow as I just don't fee like racing and I am now broke after buying a new furnace!

Jeff are you going to run the turkey trot tomorrow?

12 mph on the treadmill- show off. You'll make all the old ladies walking on theirs at 1.5 mph jealous.

Barry, I am still undecided on the Turkey Trot. I am tired and not sure I want to race right now. Instead I might just go for a fun run around the neighborhood, maybe a little with my son.

Jon, TM is the only way I can get fast in the morning (too tired to do it by myself!). The lady next to me was "running" at 11 minute pace and she kept looking at me funny as I ran hard.

I will be visiting family in Idaho Falls tomorrow and I am running the in the turkey race. If you decide to run it I'll try to find you and say hi.

My wife and I were thinking of doing a 5k- then we saw it was $40. For a 5k!!! Ridiculous! That is the same price I paid for my 50 miler last month. I'll never pay $40 for a 5k. That thing better have a complete Thanksgiving dinner for everyone at the end.
