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

Could not sleep...again.  10 miles down to the greenbelt and back and through the neighborhood.  Trying to work through and get rid of stress. (React Blue)

Still not sleeping.  Out very early with Moxie for a 5 mile dog limited pace run.  Looking likely that more walking with Moxie than running is here. (React Blue)

4 miles power walking after work to deal with work stress.  So frustrated on a couple of things that I am ready to go to the Inspector General.

Very little sleep again, work issues keep waking me up.  Out VERY early again for 6 miles then into work by 530am.  (React Blue)

Today is my daughter's last day at her summer internship/fellowship.  While it was valuable experience there were many issues with the program and cohort, so she is glad to be done.

5 miles solo early, got some good work thoughts worked out. (Altra Impulse)

4 mile walk with Kami and Moxie. (Launch Red)

Finished reading "The Bourne Identity".  While both good in their own right, the book and the Matt Damon movie have very little in common besides a few names and a man with amnesia.
