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

Nice run from the hotel this morning.  A little tired from all the walking yesterday at Lagoon with the family.

Short, slow 4.3M run this morning.  Tired after a fun day at Raging Waters and then the drive home (got home about 11:15pm). 

Very easy 4.35M run at lunch with a nasty 30mph headwind for 2.5M out.  Feet are still sore from this weekend!

Nice easy 6.2M run this morning. First mile in 7:10 then avg. 6:42 the rest of the run.

Good 6.3M MP run at lunch. A little twingy at times in the left hamstring and right quad but did not bother me.

I have about 90% decided to run the Des News marathon.  I will do it mostly as a prep/training run to get ready for St. George, shooting to keep myself at around a 6:00 pace and focus on doing a negative split.

Nice easy 4.1M run.  Short day today as I had to get to work early to get out to the facility on the desert. 

So, what is with the young kids nowadays.  Here I was, out running this morning around my neighborhood at 4:30am, when here comes a couple of yahoos driving in circles around the streets with their lights off (kinda like they were casing the houses). On their third pass by  me, they drive right at me and yell a derogatory comment at me.  What the #%$! is that about?

Nice early morning 7M run. Progression from 7:17 to 6:36 pace (couldn't get legs moving this morning until mile 3).

Good 7M MP run at lunch in very warm temps. First 6M pace between 6:06 and 6:24. Last mile in more like 6:40 for avg. pace of 6:21.

Easy paced 7M run early this morning. Very comfortable, a bit of a stitch during run which I tend to find I get more if I run in the 7:00+ pace range, I think running at this pace throws off the breathing rythm of my diaphragm.

Easy paced 6.1M run at lunch, nothing particular to note.
