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

No early run, slept in as I was planning on a lunch run.  I hooked up with Erik Teig (2:26 at TCM for 22nd) who was in town and we did a greenbelt loop and into SRL around the lake for 6.3 miles.  Nice and easy just catching up and having a good talk about life.  Fun times even though my hammy was talking to me.  (Mirage Red)

5 miles with the boys after work through the neighborhood in about 37 minutes.  Hammy really tight, taking this weekend off...not running Open race at NXN.  (Boost)

We did not get to the hotel until about 1:45am and to bed after 2am.  We slept in and had a bite for breakfast and I went out for a run about 10am.  6 miles from the hotel, by the high school and on the Tunnel Trail to the Plainfield, IN water tower and back in about 44 minutes.   I overdress and was pretty warm but was able to shed a layer and it was good.  Hammy ok, much better than last night on the plane.  On our way to Shelbyville to see family and my ailing grandmother.  (Boost)
