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

No run this morning, snowed in with over a foot of snow.  Had to help dig out 3 cars in the neighborhood heading to work.  Site closed, what a storm.  Spent over an hour trying to clear the driveway...piles on the side are as tall as me and can't even get the snow over the top anymore.

4:45am...treadmill progression workout.  Started easy then kept pushing up the pace.  I hit the 10K mark at 39 minutes (6:16 avg) and finished off 7 miles in 44 minutes (6:17 avg).  Pushe the last part of the 10K at between 4:17-5:00 pace.  Felt strong and controlled, no hammy or calf issues.
