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

Trying to fight off a cold.  It was 15 degrees outside and I did not feel like going to the gym so I slept in.  Try to get a run in at lunch work permitting. 3 miles after work

4:30am...got up and it was 11 degrees outside. Thought about skipping or going the gym, neither idea sounded good so I went out for a run.  Was not as bad as I had thought it would be (dressing right helps a lot!). 5 easy miles. (Guide Blue)

6 miles on a cold, foggy day at lunch.  I did not see any other runners, only 4 walkers and 1 XC skier (in the park). (Guide 7)
