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 miles (45 minutes) recovery run in the afternoon after church, Katelyn's first communion and a little reception for her at our house.  Started off as a nice day but was getting colder and windier by the time we finished.

No run today, a long day of travel and networking with the boys in the evening.

5 miles in 34:15 on the TM in the hotel before our early flight home.

Only run today due to long travel day, time with the family and a church related meeting tonight.  Try to get a longer run in tomorrow before work and at lunch before more church stuff Friday night and Saturday.

No early morning run today...feeling tired, unmotivated and battling a head cold so I was gracious with myself and slept in.  Now feeling a bit guilty but need to make sure I am still having fun running rather than feeling obligated (i.e. burnout!).  Try to get a longer run in at lunch today.

10 miles at lunch on a nice but windy day.  From the office, on the greenbelt then to the end of SRL and back home.  Total time of 1:10:54.  Felt much better than this morning.

Out early before my church meeting today.  5 miles with Moxie before dropping her off, changing shoes and going back out to meet the gang.  11 more miles to finish off the run in 2:01 on a beautiful morning...cool but no wind.  Good start to the weekend!
