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

Weights with kids, lifteda bit heavier and tough core workout today.

7 miles after work. 2 miles really easy, 5 miles in 34:20. Still cold outside and some really slick spots slowed up the tempo (along with nearly getting hit 3 times, though 3 cars saw me and pulled back too!). (Boost)

6:30am...last workout before the marathon. 10 miles at goal MP or better. 1 mile warmup (6:45ish), then 6:22-6:27 for next two miles. Bumped up to 6:15-6:18 for next 3 miles. At 6 miles, bumped up incline to 2% then started increasing pace. Last mile, bumped pace and incline alternately to end at 3.5% and 5:39 pace. Overall 10 miles at 6:21 pace in 1:03:25. Good workout and feeling pretty confident for next weekend. Took one PowerBar Gel at mile 5 to check stomach with the fuel. (Tangent)
