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

4M run on the TM at home while watching "Over the Hedge" with my son.  Just an easy run on a planned short day.  Crappy weather outside as well, so the TM was the choice of the day.

total time:  26:55 (Saucony T2 - 50 miles)

Nice and easy early morning 11M at an easy pace (7:12). Run was good on a brisk morning (25 degrees). Veteran's day off...spend time with the family today...good thing because I don't want to go back to the big old mess that I have facing me at work this week.  Dang I hate bureaucracy and in-trenched bureaucrats!

First TM at the gym of the season...went ok actually.  Nice run...slow for first 2M, then MP for next 4M, then a Threshold pace last mile (5:30).  Never felt hard.  Good run.

total time:  45:00  (Saucony T2 - 68 miles)

OK 6M MP run around the river at lunch in the rain and strong winds.  Overall kept up a slow MP (6:24), which in these conditions wasn't bad. 

total time:  38:24  (Saucony T3 - 333 miles)

10K easy run very early this morning in the coldest temps yet (19 degrees), but no wind!  Good easy run...will try to get a run in at lunch at the dessert. 

Total time:  45:03  (Saucony T2 - 74 miles)

Nice slow MP (6:26) 4M run out on the dessert trails on a glorious day...sunny, cool (33 degrees), no wind...ahh what a day for a run (especially after yeterday's crappy weather).

Total time:  25:45 (Saucony T3 - 337 miles)

Nice easy early morning 6.1M at a 7:03 pace.  Nice morning, no wind, 22 degrees, picked up pace to 6:44ish for last 3M. 

total time:  42:58  (Saucony T2 - 80 miles)

OK 7M run on a nice day at lunchtime.  Got a side stitch around 3M and couldn't ever really recover from it.  Overall just a mediocre run at a moderate 6:39 pace.  Meetings got in the way of my normal mid-morning snack and I didn't get any fuel in before the run, so I felt pretty flat today.  Will try to compensate and do a tempo run at lunch tomorrow. 

total time:  46:30  (Saucony T3 - 344 miles)

Very easy paced (7:21) 7M run early this morning.  First 2M really slow warmup, then picked it up to low 7:00's.  Warmest morning this week (31 degrees), overdressed this morning as I was a bit warm.

total time:  51:26  (Saucony T2 - 87 miles)

Nice 7.1M run on a beautiful day (again!) at lunch. 2M into wind at moderate pace (6:35) then 5.1M at MP (6:17ish avg.). Nice run...not the tempo that I wanted, but it felt good to get out and pick it up for those last 5M.

total time:  45:25 (Saucony T3 - 351 miles)

10.1M moderate paced (6:45) run this morning...warmer and cloudy with no wind.  Didn't push hard, just took it out at comfortable pace around the river while my daughter was at ballet rehersal.  Overall a good run to end the week.

total time: 1:08:04  (Saucony T2 - 97 miles)
