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

5M easy early this morning before heading out for Florida.  Looking forward to some warm weather after the past week's rain weather.  Can't wait to watch the kids playing on the beach and sitting back and watching the glorious sunset.  Ah!

Est. total time: 35:00 (No garmin)

10M this morning before the family awoke.  5M on the roadways then the last 5M on the beach.  Paced slowed as I was also shelling as I ran and ended up with 2 handfuls of shells to take back to the kids.

Hit the breakfast at the hotel, took the kids to the beach to play then took them on a dolphin boat ride.  Our camera broke as the boat was leaving so no pics!  Then returned to the beach for the remainder of the afternoon, now the family is beat.  Great weather...warm and partial sun.

7M early this morning.   A bit stiff this morning so it was a really easy 7:30 pace.  It was still dark so I stayed on the roads, early because I am taking the kids shelling for the big ones at sunrise.  Kami ran 3M on the beach this morning while I am with the kids playing on the beach. 

More beach time planned for today.

total time: 52:25  (Trigons - 186 miles)

3M throughout the day with the kids on the beach playing and running around...very relaxed.  Sitting by the pool, watching the sunset, drinking a nice cold beer, enjoying fresh KeyLime pie...ah this is the life!

10.25M early this morning before the family woke up (in the dark!).  Not very motivated and my back was a bit stiff, so this was very easy (~7:45 pace).  Just ran around Treasure Island on the roads as it was too dark to run on the beach.

Kami did a 3M run on the beach.  Spent the day at the acquarium and at the science museum to take a break from the sun and heat today, but took the kids to the hotel pool after we got back.  Sitting by the pool, watching the sunset, drinking a nice cold beer, enjoying fresh KeyLime pie...ah this is the life!

10M early this morning up over the John's Pass drawbridge and to Redington Beach.  Decent paced run, but liked running south better as it has much less traffic.  Some fantastic houses along this stretch.

More relaxed play time planned for today as we leave for home tomorrow afternoon.

6M early this morning...just an easy run around Treasure Island.   We are leaving for home today, so shorter run to have time to get ready to go. 

Going to the Tampa Zoo at Lowery Park before heading to the airport.  Lots of walking at the zoo, count it as 1M.

9M this morning on a nice day. We got home really late late last night, but I got a good night sleep in my own bed.  Got up early to meet others for the newly formed IF group run, but noone else showed up.  So, I just ran an easy run to finish off the week.  Got back in time to get ready to take our kids to soccer games and get back to do house/yardwork that needed to be done after being gone for a week.

total time: 1:03:45  (Trigon - 221 miles)

1M of running while refereeing my kids soccer games.
