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

7 easy miles in 50:50 with Moxie on a beautiful day after church.  Nice to get outside in some sunshine even though it was a bit cool.  Moxie was very excited to be out running again!  (Ride)

4:30am...6 easy miles with Moxie on a warmish morning but with a freezing fog that made the pathway a bit slick in spots. 

5 miles at lunch around the greenbelt on a mixture of wet and icy pathways.  Nice to get out again today, time of 34:30. (Ride)

4:30am...6 easy miles outside with Moxie on a nice morning for a run.  I was really tired but got up and outside and glad I did not give in to the call of the nice warm bed.  (Old Cortana)

I was going to go for a run after work, but instead decided to do some shopping and get dinner ready for the family while they were at the gym and swim lessons.   I will get a good run in tomorrow.

I met Curt at the gym at 4:30am for a run and we also ran with Marlin who showed up just a little bit later.  Great to have friends to chat with while on the TM.  2 miles easy, 8 miles at MP progression, 1 mile cooldown for 11 miles in 1:08:50 for a 6:15 average for the run.  Nice run with good friends, we also saw quite a few other friends at the gym this morning who are also early risers and committed to their fitness.  (Cortana Black)

Went back to the gym after dropping the kids off at school and did a hard spinning class with Kami, a good hill workout and rode 27km, I will call it 5 miles. 

Nice to have these 4 day workweeks, I am glad that I changed my work schedule!

I was going to try to run before the kids' championship swim meet, but couldn't get up and wanted to ensure I helped get them ready this morning.  So I will try to run in the afternoon after the meet and taking the kids out to lunch. 

11 miles in between the kids swimming events (number 15 to number 32) all around the city, from the adquatic center up John Adams to Hitt, up and down Hitt Road, back on John Adams then back up to 17th St. for a pit stop then through the numbered streets back to the aquatic center.  When I was slowing down for my pitstop I rolled my ankle a bit on some uneven ground, really hurt for a bit.  A really good run in the nice weather outside in 1:17.  It was really fun watching the kids compete in the swim meet, they did great!  (Mirage)
