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

6am...met Rex at the boat docks for a recovery 5 mile run around the greenbelt.  Good to run with him again.  Sore and slow so I hope I was not holding him back. (Mirage)

Drove to Boise for a couple of days to help Justin celebrate his 17th birthday with friends.

6:45am...slept in then went out for 8 miles with Moxie on a cool morning.  Sunnyside to Shamrock Park to Community Park (two loops) then through Tauphaus Park to home.  Leg was stiff but not hurting.  3 more solo miles through the neighborhood after a brief pit stop and fueling.  (Mirage Gray)

Massage later today!

6:15am...6.25 miles with Moxie along Sunnyside.  Saw a fast gal who pushed me to run a bit harder.  Dropped off Moxie, pit stop and fuel and got kids ready for XC practice then back out through SRL (extender and around the lake too) to finish off 16 miles for the day. (Mirage Gray)
