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

10 miles this morning before church on a cold day.  5 miles with Moxie, then dropped her off and went back out for another 5 miles.  Ran into Alana at the start of the run and ran the whole way having a good talk with her.  Thanks Alana for making it a fun run!

4 miles on the TM at home before Kami left for work and I had to get ready to go early.  No time to get to the gym, so the basement beckoned.  Left hammy really tight this morning...not good for a travel day.

No second run, dinner, beers and trivia with the guys at Malone's Tavern.

9 miles on the TM at the hotel before a long day of meetings.  Progression to last 4 miles at good MP, total time of 60:30.

A great day of meetings!  Back to Malone's for dinner, drinks and more trivia...our team won the competition 10-1.  Awaiting the storm of the century to hit tonight.

So much for the storm of the century...2 inches!  Slept in and hit the TM for 10K in 41 minutes.  We may get to the offices if anyone is there and then make our way to the airport for the flight tomorrow.

10K on the TM at the hotel in just under 41 minutes.  3 miles easy, 3.2 miles at MP in a very hot workout room...I thought I was going to puke at the end (that or the big lunch...maybe both were the problem).  Get some rest tonight and take it easy before the trip home.

5 miles on the TM at the hotel before our early flight...still a long day.  It will be good to get home.

No run this morning after a long day yesterday.  Got up at 2am MST yesterday and finally got to bed at around 10pm...I was tired and the bed too inviting to get up and run.  Instead went a bit longer at lunch and finished off 8.4 miles in 58:30 on a cool day.  Felt fine running south, but the north wind cooled things off coming back and I was cold when I finished. 

A really good day at work today to finish off a good work week.

Out the door at 6am for a 5 mile run with Moxie.  We actually pushed the pace pretty good for a while.  Came home and dropped her off, changed shoes and got a drink before heading back out with the group.  1 mile to the meeting place, then about 10 miles with friends through SRL to Broadway and back.  Andrea pushed the pace on the uphill through SRL so I ran with her to keep moving for a really good 1.25 miles.  Finished off the run in 2:02 and change for a good run.  Kinda cool this morning and hard to get totally comfortable with the temps as you would warm up one direction then get cold the other...oh waiting for spring to come!
