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

Ugh, another morning that was hard to get out of bed!  Made it to the gym by 4:30 and was really struggling to run.  2 miles or better at easy pace then I started to just push to get the run done...1 mile at a time.  The next 4 miles were between 6:27-5:49 pace for a total time of 45:50 (6:33 avg).  I don't know how I got 7 miles, I almost gave up before mile 2!  (Launch)

6.3 miles with Dan S. at lunch.  Very slow and slick miles, I am tired from watching my footing so much and all the stabilizer muscles were so utilized.  Glad this one is done!  (Ride Red)

Sounds like my Monday run Jeff,

I am able to run faster on the treadmill mostly because I just want to get the damn run over with!

This is pretty new for you right? I don't recall you logging this many fast miles on the treadmill last winter. Or maybe my memory is failing?

No, pretty similar to last year's December TM runs...in fact looking back I haven't even done a long Threshold/tempo run yet (tomorrow perhaps!). I have decided that the change I need to make in my training this upcoming year is better speedwork, so I am starting now to be ready to move it outside in the spring.

Also may look different because I am now counting anything under 6:00 more of a threshold pace run (tempo, not really threshold but no other option) rather than marathon pace (which I count as the 6:00-6:22 range).

From Rob Murphy on Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 15:31:01 from 24.10.248.6

I'm mentally gearing up for a longish treadmill tempo run on Friday. I'll be shooting for 10 miles in 58 and change. How about you?

From jtshad on Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 15:57:55 from 204.134.132.225

Let's go for it!

I'll try to keep you two accountable. :)
