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

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)

4:45am...TM run.  1 mile wu (7:10 pace), then into a progression.  Started at 6:53, bumped up a click every 800m until mile 4, then up a click every quarter.  At mile 5, bumped up a click every 200m then last lap every 100m to finish at 5:22 pace. Overall 6 miles in 39:20 (6:33 AP).  Felt easy and controlled.  (Fastwitch)

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)
