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

6M easy this afternoon in calm and cloudy 36 degree weather. Nothing special, just nice and easy trying to get back into the swing of things.

4M on the TM at home as Kami had to work early this morning. First 4:30am run in about 3 weeks, tough to get going so this was a short run. Yawn, now to stay awake at work.

total time: 27:36 (Trigon - 537 miles)

5M at lunchtime on a windy, cold dreary day...where is spring!??? Overall an ok run at best. Ran with Dan S and the company was good, but between the cold, my coming off of the flu and getting back to 5000 after a week at sea level, a 7:30ish pace was about all I had.

total time: 37:06 (Saucony T2 - 370 miles)

5M easy on the TM at home early again as Kami works again today. A little more motivated, and today's lunchtime run should be much better as the weather looks great right now.

total time: 33:45 (Trigon - 542 miles)

6.25M around the greenbelt at lunchtime on a very nice (a bit cool) day. Nice and easy 7:00 pace, not hard but still not up for pushing much more than this. My energy level is getting back on track, maybe by the end of the week I can get back to a tempo pace.

5M easy early (4:15) this morning as we are heading out to the desert today for work. Hard to get going today but it was nice being outside in the morning for a change (24 degrees, no wind). Will get a lunchtime run in at the site.

total time: 37:30 (Trigon - 547 miles)

5M at lunch on a beautiful day on the desert. Temps were ok (31 degrees) but it was gloriously sunny! Picked up the pace a bit to a 6:34 avg...felt pretty good but still about where I could run comfortably. Try to do a 6:15ish pace tomorrow.

total time: 32:49 (Trigon - 552 miles)

7M very easy this morning as I just couldn't get up to pace and my left hammy was a bit stiff. Nice and easy run on a nice morning (20 degrees, no wind). Will try to get a faster run in at lunchtime.

total time: 54:45 (Trigon - 559 miles)

Nice 7.25M run at lunch today on a beautiful day. 1M with Dan S, then 4M at MP followed by a couple easier miles for an avg. 6:31 pace for the run. Left hammy didn't feel as tight.

splits: 1-7:21, 2-6:11, 3-6:15, 4-6:13, 5-6:21, 6-6:37, 7-6:37, 0.25M-6:50 pace.

7M easy again early this morning on a very nice morning to run...no wind, 30 degrees (overdressed for this run actually). My left hammy and glutes were tight again this morning so it took me a while to get going and I never did get going very fast. Will hopefully get a run in at lunch today and hope that tomorrow does NOT get too nasty for our planned 20 miler (thanks for catching my typo Adam!).

total time: 54:34 (Trigon - 566 miles)

5M around the greenbelt at lunch on a nice day...a little overcast but warm. First mile was at MP, then had to slow down a bit (6:35ish) as my insides started acting up a bit. Ran the last 2M with a need to hit a pitstop, but I had just past the last option so I just boogied on back to the office.

total time: 32:51 (Saucony T2 - 389 miles)

20M with Dan S and Deborah (who is running Boston!). Nice easy paced run for me on a weird day...some sun, lots of wind, some snow, some calm times. Overall a decent day but a hard day to dress for as we went from hot to cold for the entire run. Ran out Sunnyside road from Community Park and back for a 12M leg, then ran to the greenbelt and back for our 8M leg. Dan and Deborah both did great (Dan's first 20M in prep for Ogden). Had a pitstop so I got in a couple of faster miles catching up with them in the middle miles.

total time: 2:34:00 (New Trigons - 20 miles)
