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

5:30am...6 easy miles with Moxie along Sunnyside on a gorgeous morning. Stretching. (Ride 3 2015)

Nice day for a run at lunch. Started off with DanS, ran 2.3 miles at around 7:30 AP.  Broke off and picked it up for miles 3,4,5 (6:38, 6:32, 6:23) (slow MP effort), cooled down for 1.1 miles at just under 7:00 pace.  Good run, good to run a bit faster again.  Stretched.  (Mirage Red)

4:45am...5 very easy miles with Moxie on a nice morning.  Lower back very stiff again.  (Ride 3 2015)

3 miles at lunch on the desert.  Ended up battling some wind and rain, ended just before the heavy stuff hit.  20 minutes earlier start and I would have been in warm sunshine! (Mirage Red)

Ran into an old friend, Steve B., at work today that I have not spoken to in quite a while.  Good to talk to friends from the past.

6 slow miles on a nice day at lunch.  Not really feeling the best so this one was a bit tough.  (Mirage Red)

Took the morning off to catch up on sleep and rest my back.  Plus, kinda yucky out.

Put my entry in for the Runnersworld Cover Search contest.  Thought I would give it a try.

Wow, everyone who put an entry in for St. George this year got in!

7 miles at lunch on a cool and cloudy day.  Back feel better since I ran 7 miles in the same time (52+ minutes) it took me to run 6 miles yesterday.  Much better.  (Mirage Red)

6:15am...set out solo for a longer run on a cooler and windy morning.  16 miles around the greenbelt and back home.  Not a very good run, some good spots but hammy and glute were very sore by the end and my pace slowed too much. (Launch 2)

Had to cut it short of my desired mileage to help Justin get ready for the prom today!  

Also, Mother's Day projects in the yard today with Kami.
