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

5 easy miles on the treadmill in the basement before church (it was 2 degrees outside and I did not feel like bundling up). (Old Cortana)

We took the kids swimming after church and they did about 30 lengths and then we played. Right before we were about to leave the Well's showed up too!

Early morning run at the gym with Curt and Rex. 2 miles easy, 4 miles MP progression, 2 miles HM/10K pace (5:40-5:33). Overall 8 miles in 49:15 (6:09 avg.). Mostly felt good, a couple of ankle twinges late in the run but no pain just a hitch in my giddy-up. (Cortana Black)

5 miles at lunch at a very slow recovery pace (I wore my GPS to make sure I didn't run too fast). Nice day for a run, though the pathway was about 75% covered in snow/slush/ice. (Ride)

4:45am...7 miles on the TM at the gym in 43:45 (6:15 avg). I still have the hitch in my right ankle at faster pace, now a bit of shin pain. I will watch this and likely run easy the next few days. (Cortana Black)

4:30am...8 miles in 50:04 on the treadmill at the gym. Easy MP run, ankle did not twinge. Andrea showed up right before I left so I had someone to chat with for a short while. Waiting for Kami to come run with me soon. (Mirage)

I had a chance to get away for a short run at lunch today (first time on the desert in a long time). A running buddy took off for his run about 8-10 minutes before me and was my rabbit today. I caught him at the 1.5 mile mark where he turned around, I continued on to the 2 mile mark then tried to catch him again. I was about 0.1 miles back when he finished, so I was working farily hard to catch him. I didn't take my watch but most of the 4 mile run felt like solid MP effort. (Ride)

I met Andrea at the corner and went out on new route (Bellin to Grandview to the river) and back. Nice to have the company on a nice morning for a run and to take it easy. We saw Marlin twice on the run and had to stop a pitstop at the Marriott (nice to warm up a bit too). I ran 14 miles with Andrea then did an extension down Sunnyside to finish of 17 miles in 2:17 for a really easy pace long run...but I am still tired and my legs were getting heavy at the end.

3 miles at Community Park with Justin, Moxie and Matthew...in shorts! (Cortana Black)
