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 < 4years.

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

Took the morning off to let my shin contiue to heal.  Thought about going out at lunch, shin better but still feel it a bit, plus the weather is not very nice.  Just take the day off and heal up.

4:45am...tried to go out this morning, made it 0.5M before I decided to turn back. Shin still painful, so no need to push it.  (Ride 3 2015)

4 slow easy miles at lunch. Shin didn't hurt, just a bit tight/warm.  Really slow, form off due to shin...could feel stresses elswhere.  (Mirage Red)

4:30am...3 miles with Moxie.  Shin still bothering me. (Ride 3 2015)

No lunch run today. Took my son to PT to work on his calf (gastroc tendon and hamstring tendon strain) and also asked about my shin.  I am struggling to understand how his coaches "system" is working if over half his faster athletes are injured mid season due to frequency of speedwork/timetrials and volume.

We all need to get our regularity of our stretching/strengthen back on par.

Skipped my morning run to continue to let my shin splint issue resolve.  Focused on some good stretching and rehab exercises.

5 slow easy miles at lunch.  Shin pain still there, but manageable.  It would come and go and feels pretty good now after the run. (Mirage Red)

5am...3.5 miles with Moxie on a nice morning.  A sucky mix of run and walking as my shin was not cooperating.  Try to get in to see the PT today.  Very frustrated.  (Ride 3 2015)

1.5 mile walk with Kami at the park after breakfast with a friend. (Boost)

20 mile bike ride in about an hour with Kami on a very nice day. No shin pain until afterwards when I was walking around.  I have to do this more often, it was fun!  Going to PT this afternoon.

Justin, Kami and I went to spinning class this morning.  Kami and I did 2 classes, Justin one and some weights and stretching.  2 hours, nearly 40 miles of spinning.  Speed class first, then hill intervals.  Leg felt good...still not running.  

Katelyn and I went to the track for her to practice in her spikes.
