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

6.2 miles on the TM at the hotel in Boise in 42:30 watching "The Last Samurai". I was going to go outside, but it was blowing wind and right at the temp where the surfaces would be really slick and have icy spots which you can't see in the dark. Not the most fun, but got'er done. Now for a fun day with the family.

10K run around the neighborhoods next to our hotel in 48:16. Cool, calm and nice conditions for an easy run before another good day with the family on my day off. Only had time for a short run due to appointments, but maybe another later in the day.

Got back to IF a bit later than anticipated then had to get some stuff done tonight so no second run today. Had a great weekend in Boise with the family...man I wished I lived there!

10 miles on the TM at the gym as it was pretty slick outside due to the snow and melting/freezing yesterday. Total time fo 1:02:16 for a 6:13 average...1 mile easy, 8 miles at MP, 1 mile cooldown. My achilles was a bit sore at the start of the run but felt better by about 4 miles in. Think it is time to update my rotation of shoes...

Cold and crappy outside, glad I did not schedule a run at lunch.

I am tired after a late night meeting at church as I am the 2011 Council President...lots of excitement in a transitional year but also a lot to do which will make this a very busy 2011.

10 miles on the TM at the gym this morning in 63:45 (6:22 avg). Legs sore this morning and my lower back is tight again. Typical run at the gym...at 2 mile mark almost get off because I am just not digging the run, convince myself to run to at least 5 miles. At 5 mile mark, feeling more into the run and know I can make 7. 7 mile mark feeling good and now have 10 miles in my sights. Morning runs are getting tougher as I get older!

No lunch run due to work schedule and temps...-4 when we got to the desert today!

10 miles on the TM in 63:00. Same ol' morning run. (Launch)

5 miles around the greenbelt with Pat, slow and conversational. Nothing special...waiting for spring. (Old Tornados)

Too cold and too slick on the roadways, so the group met at the gym for a LONG TM run. I ran 3 miles for a warmup, then 13 miles at MP for a total of 16 miles in 1:42:15. This is the longest I have run on a TM and I really don't want to do it again. It was better than the cold and slick...but not by much. A day with the family getting ready for my daughter's first communion celebration tomorrow!
