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

5am...met Curt, Patrick and Blake for a run up and back down Iron Rim.  Reached the top (4 miles) in 33:55.  Had to hurdle a rattlesnake in the middle of the road around mile 3...that woke us all up!  Back down in 26 minutes (ran with the guys for about half then pushed a bit harder for the rest )for a total time of 59:57.  Good start to the day, leg and glute felt great today. (Altra Impulse)

10K on a warmish day at lunch (good breeze though) at a mostly easy pace. 1 mile faster racing Ron on the other side of the river from bridge to bridge.  Hammy/glute ok on this run. 48 minutes. (Fastwitch)

3 miles giving some coaching to our young friend Isabelle.  Good run and she was very eager to learn some tips.  (Boost)

8 easy miles at lunch on nice but warming up day.  Starting temp ok, started to get hot by the end.  Early in the run I was munched on by a horse fly on my head...ouch! (Fastwitch)

After a quick breakfast, 12 miles on the mountain bikes around the greenbelt with Kami and Katelyn.  Windy.
