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

I tried to run before church today but it was a sheet of ice everywhere...could not even walk on the concrete/asphalt surfaces!  

After church, Kami and I went to the gym to lift weights.  I was going to run outside (it warmed up and melted off) but I didn't fee like it and wanted to hang out with my family.

Woke up not feeling the best plus freezing fog and sore from lifting...went back to bed.  Will try to run later today.

Came home to watch a sick daughter.  I went out in the late afternoon when my wife got home from her work for a few miles.  5 miles with Moxie then 3 more with Justin.  Left ankle tweaked, hammy not happy with anything faster than 7:30.  Mountain to Fountain nearly 95% out of the picture.  Nice day, ran in shorts in January in Idaho!  Retiring the Fastwitch after this run...think it was the cause of the ankle tweak.  (Fastwitch)

No run today, staying home as I am feeing pretty lethargic and having a cold.  Ugh. I slept all day and started to feel much better.  I went out in the late afternoon to get some fresh air after being cooped up for so long.  Hammy was even ok.  (Ride 3 2015)

5am...spinning class to continue with rehab on hammy.  Felt good this morning (cold and hammy!).

5 miles on a warmish but sloppy day at lunch with DanS.  Easy paced (slow) but no hammy issue at this pace.  (Ride 3 2013)

4:45am...6 easy miles outside with Moxie on a warmish morning along Sunnyside.  Ran into Curt, Alana, Gama and Aaron during this run...busy pathway this morning.  (Ride 3 2015)

6 miles at lunch.  No energy, no pace...pathetic.  Only good thing about this run was being outside in the sunshine.  (Ride 3 2013)

6am...spinning class with Kami, good workout just spinning out my legs (no hill climbs).

I went to my friend who is a PT and IronMan competitor. Good visit!  I do have hamstring tendonitis caused by pelvic misalignment and also some hamstring weakness.  We readjusted my SI joint, stretched and did some soft tissue work and laser treatment on the tendon.  She showed my some good stretches and strength excercises to do to help with the alignment and will work on the weakness issue more after ensuring my SI is back right.  I should have done this a while back if I would have known I had this issue.

2 miles after school with Katelyn in the neighborhood.  Felt good and kept it really easy.

6am...easy 7 mile run through SRL with Curt and Craig.  Nice to run with the guys again, been a while.  3 miles with Moxie afterwards. (Mirage Red 2015)

Weights and stretching with the kids in the basement (rehab focused for me).
