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

Early flight today.  After arriving at the hotel, 7 miles out and back on Common Road and around the library on a 30 degree day (still cold).  A bit of an ankle twinge during the run. (Guide Blue)

Afterwards pizza, beer and great conversation with Jason Dodge...love the blog for all the friends I have made over the years and all across the country (and world).  I can honestly say that most of my best friends are from running and the FRB!

5:45am...5 miles out Common Road and back in snow (2+ inches).  Ankle was twingy again when I woke up and nearly did not go out.  Full day of meetings. (Guide Blue)

Good day of meetings.  Another 5 miles in the snow.  Beers with coworkers and friends afterwards. A good day all around. (Guide Blue)

5:15am...6 miles out and back on Common Road and a couple of loops around the civic center/library.  Warmish morning but sloppy wet roads. (Guide Blue)

6 miles after work on a warmish, sunny and windy afternoon.  As good as yesterday went, this day of meetings went equally bad. A stress reliever run...did not work. Maybe free beer will help. (Guide Blue)

Slept in a bit and took the morning easy (cold outside anyway).  Longer run later today after last morning of meetings.

Full morning of meetings again.  After getting to the airport area hotel, I ran 6 miles on the treadmill because the wind and cold was not looking fun.  Heading home tomorrow. (Guide Blue)
