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

5:30am...5 easy miles on a chilly (36 degrees) morning.  Left hammy really tight today.

After dropping the kids off at school, I took my truck in to the body shop to get a door repair then ran home...nice easy 5 miles through the neighborhoods.  Left hammy still sore though. (Ride 3)

Weights with Kami at the gym.

Skipped the morning run to rest the hamstring...plus it was 35 degrees outside, not quite up for cold weather runs yet.

6 miles in 44:30 around the greenbelt on a cool day at lunch.  Hamstring still talking to me.  (Mirage Red)

Katelyn's last XC today.

8:15am...I slept in and went for a run after dropping Katelyn off at school.  8 miles in 1:00 on a very cool morning along Sunnyside.  Just an easy run to try to get the hamstring feeling better.  (Boost)

Justin and I went to the group run at Bill's Bike and Run.  The Zoot rep was there and we ran in Zoot Solana shoes, pretty nice and a good price point!  Justin, Craig, Jeremy and I ran the first 5 miles togetehr then Jeremy and I ran another 3 miles on the loop around the greenbelt.  Jeremy took a nasty tumble about 2 miles into the run and really scrapped up his hand.

Went to coffee with Andrea and Rocky and had a good time to catch up after not seeing each other for a while.  Then I went home and got Katelyn.  We went back to the store so she could try a pair of the shoes and we ran 3 miles in SRL (she was excited to run in a different location than the neighborhood!).  Overall a great day of running with the kids and friends!  (Fastwitch Red)
