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

5 very easy miles with Moxie early on a nice morning...50 degrees, light breeze, a little rain. Legs feel mostly good, not issues just a little tired but I can tell that yesterday's race was not a real tax on them due to my slower pace. Stomach feels fine this morning so I think it was just the wrong pre-race fueling that did me in.

The only really bad news from yesterday was the entire face of my Garmin Forerunner 205 fell off the band...it just fell apart. I can place it back in and it will turn on and work, but the face needs to be reattached permanently. I will call Garmin to see what they can do or just superglue it back together if they are not supporting or want to charge an arm and a leg.

Retiring the Tangent 3's.

7 easy miles on a cool morning with Moxie. Just another run to start off the work week. (TSD5)

Sad news about Sammy Wanjiru...too bad such a young talented person got that desperate in life and his decisions that it led him to taking his life.

6.2 miles at lunch around the greenbelt on a cool but good running day. Just nice and easy, no residual tightness or pain in my legs so that is a good sign. (Tangent 1)

It was only 33 degrees outside this morning, so I was a wimp and went to the gym for some up tempo work. 4 miles at easy pace (7:00-6:27 pace) miles, then 3 miles at MP (6:22-5:52) and 1 mile tempo (5:50ish) with the last 0.1M fast (5:00 pace). Overall average for the 8 miles was 6:23 and I felt great during the run.

My only run today due to work schedule, voting tonight (auditorium district passed by 2-1 margin...yeah!) and News Boys/Kutless/Disciple/Carlos Whitacker concert this evening (a great evening of uplifting Christian music and positive spiritual messages!).

7 miles with Moxie early on a nice morning for a run. Ran with Lynette for about 5 miles of it too having some good conversation...nice to have the company! Left hammy, right achilles and stomach were all acting up again, so the run itself wasn't too pleasant but it was good to get it done. (TSD5)

6 miles on a cool and windy day at lunch in 43 minutes. Ran and chatted for a bit with Saige. (Tangent 1)

Slept in on my day off and went out with Moxie at 5:30am for an easy 7 mile run. Warm morning with a light breeze and a few sprinkles. After getting home, got the kids ready for school then went back out for another 5.25 miles after dropping them off. I ran the last mile at MP (6:05) pace which felt pretty easy and controllable, even into the now increasing wind.

16 miles on a beautiful morning in 1:56ish. Got out early with Moxie for a couple of miles then dropped her off and met Gray, Curt and McKay for a run. McKay dropped off about 4 miles into the run and Curt and Gray and I continued around the river, through Freeman Park and back through SRL to finish off around 15 miles. Ran home, checked on the kids and grabbed Moxie for one more easy mile. Through in a few harder miles with Gray (and Curt kept up well too!) for a great run.

Blogged and saw I was 0.5 miles shy of 80 for the week, so I went back out for a mile in 6:40 to put me over.

Hope everyone at Ogden had a great and fun run today!
