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

4.3 miles at 6:40 pace at 4:15 in the afternoon after a good day with the family at the museum.  Man, I love running at sea level.  Maybe I have to come back here in the spring for my next marathon!!!

Slept in and went for 11 miles in 1:19:30 up the trail to Pter Canyon vai Jamboree.  Uphill for half the run, then downhill and flat back home.  Now for a day at the tidepools with the kids.

5 miles easy before heading out with the whole family for Legoland.  My left hammy and glute were really tight today.  

7 hours walking around Legoland and the car ride caused my lower back to lock up a bit.

9 miles in 1:02:28 on a glorious morning outside.  3 miles at good MP (5:30 - 6:15 pace during this stretch).  Run felt great, lots of other runners and bikers out...didn't really want to stop but came back to spend time with family.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

No run this morning as my glute/piriformis was pretty sore and we have a long day of traveling so I didn't want to make the trip more sore for my body.  It was a fun trip but it will be good to get home...even if it is in the tundra and way too cold (good buy sunshine and 65 degrees!!).  But, at least I don't have to deal with traffic and millions of people!

It was 12 degrees with a 6 degree windchill when we were going to head out this morning so the group convinced me to hit the gym for a TM workout...first one in about a year!  10 miles in 1:01:40 for a 6:10 average pace.  2 miles easy warmup then the next 8 miles a mixture of mid to fast MP with 4 miles at sub 5:40 pace.  Felt really good to run fast and in the warmth to help the transition back to Idaho weather.

Now for a day of getting settled again around home and start to get the Christmas decor up...mostly the tree today.
