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

5:30am...5 miles from the hotel to the DC Mall around the Washington Memorial and by the White House then back, beat the rain. (Supernova Green)

Meetings most of the day.  Really great meetings with counterparts!  A successful day.

6 miles from the hotel to the Washington Memorial to meet Jose for a run around the mall (US Capital to Lincoln Memorial).  Hot and humid, but again realized that this weather does not bother me too much so it was fun.  4 miles with Jose. (Supernova Green)

Showered then happy hour at Tiki TNT for beers and nice light food and talking with Devin (bartender).  Spicy Margarita at the hotel thanks to Zach (hospitality manager).  This DC Wharf area is pretty great place to stay for my next trip to DC.  Leaving for Alexandria, VA tomorrow.

5am...6 miles from the hotel to the DC Mall and into downtown and back. Mall full of runners early! (Supernova Green)

More meetings at HQ then moving to Alexandria for a working group the rest of the week.  Took the water taxi from the Wharf to Alexandria.  Great day professionally (really good meetings!), personally (opportunity to mentor a young guy new to our group) and spiritually (great faith conversation with an elisted Air Force man at the hotel bar).  Wow, a good day.

5am...met Ryan (AF guy from yesterday) for a 2 mile run through old town.  Continued on for another 9 miles up and back on King Street past TC Williams High (for those who know the movie "Remember the Titans"!) and on up the hill then turned around and cruised back.  (Supernova Green)

More meetings today.  No second run instead had a beer and dinner with my coworker from ID, Vic, who was also in town.  My daughter was excited that we ate at her favorite restaurant here, Pines of Florence.
