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

Slept in and went for a mountain bike ride with Kami after church.  Good way to shake out my legs. 

I was going to get in a short run with the kids this afternoon but getting a new phone for Kami took all that time up.  Between getting the contract and setting it up...whew!

4:30am...5 good miles with Moxie. Nice morning, legs felt mostly good and the pace was quicker than usual.  Maybe this last HM helped???  (Ride 5)

6 miles on a warm day with DanS, recovery pace.  Nice run. (Fastwitch)

4:15am...not much sleep last night.  Out for a decent 5 miler with Moxie early. (Mirage)

6 slow miles at lunch.  Cooler but humid.  At ~3.5 miles I got light headed and dizzy. Walked then finished the run. Fueled and hydrated, must be lack of sleep last night. (Fastwitch)

Did not get any sleep last night so I skipped trying to run before getting kids off to their race.  4 miles running around the course. Hotter and sunnier out than expected, sunburns all around. (Boost)
