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

Woke up with the alarm at 4am, saw that is was 23 degrees and snow on the ground...went back to sleep and will run at lunch. Ah, taper time!

Ran at lunch on a beautiful day for a run! I ran a MP tempo run today but had some trouble breathing during the run due a constricted airway. I hit the 10K mark in 38:20 (6:10 pace) including the first half mile as a warmup. After that I cooled it down and finished 7.25 miles in 45:45 (6:19 average). Overall a good run except for the breathing issue, I don't think it is a real problem but I will watch it. (Cortana)

Cold this morning (20 degrees) but went out anyways for a nice easy untimed 7 mile run with Moxie. (Ride)

Had the "birds and the bees" talk with my son last night since today they are watching "The movie" in class today. Discussion went well, we will see if there is followup tonight after school.

A repeat of yesterday only 10 degrees warmer. 7 easy untimed miles with Moxie at 0430. Probably a bit faster than yesterday but still easy. (Kinvara)

First time running on the desert in a LONG time. A beautiful day at lunch (50, sunny, light wind) for a run. Untimed 4 miler, but based on perceived effort and rough estimate from the clock somewhere between 6:45-7:00 pace. A front is supposed to roll in this afternoon..ugh! (Cortana)

4:30am...7 miles with Moxie on a cool morning. Untimed fartlek run, hard to get up this morning. (Kinvara)

A beautiful day at lunch, I just could not pass it up. Did loops around Freeman Park. 0.5M warmup, 3.1 miles at MP, 0.4M cooldown. 4 miles in 24:48 (6:36, 6:03, 6:02, 6:11). Good MP effort felt pretty easy. (Cortana)

1 mile with the kids before dinner on a glorious evening. (Vibram)

I woke up to a cold, windy and SNOWY (almost 2 inches) morning...so I slept in a bit more and went to the gym with my wife after dropping the kids off at school.

I had a good hard tempo run this morning. 1 mile warmup then into a 10K progression run starting at 5:56 pace then kept pushing up the pace to 5:27. The last 0.2 of the 10K was at 4:17 pace. Overall 10K time of 35:30 for a 5:43 average pace. Cooled down to get 8 miles total in 47:55. (Kinvara)

Now for a day of running errands with my wife on my day off and our running groups Pre-Boston motivational get together tonight!

10.5 miles in 1:11:40 (6:50 average) including the first mile warmup at 8:00 pace. Ran with Gray through SRL to Broadway and back at a decent clip (6:40ish) for the run. We saw more runners out this morning (about 2 dozen) on the pathways outside of a race...even though it was only about 20-25 degrees outside.

Now for a day of Easter egg hunts, coloring eggs, etc.
