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

Slept in, not feeling the best.

7 miles on a nice day at lunch.  Warmish with a slushy pathway.  About time to retire the Mirage shoes.  (Mirage Red)

I am having a real motivation problem for the past couple of months trying to get up at 4-4:30am for a run.  Between the hamstring issue, training with the boys in the afternoon and just a long running year it is hard.  Alarm went off today but just did not feel the need to get up.  I will allow myself this indulgence through the end of the year then make sure I start off 2015 back in the right groove.  I will get in a longer run at lunch today.

8 easy miles on a out and back from the building to South Tourist Park and back.  Nice day with a mix of sunshine and fog.  Hammy slowly starting to feel better, still wrapping it.  (Mirage Red)

4:45am...6 miles on the TM at the gym.  Hammy pretty good, ran without wrapping it and it felt ok but still needs a bit of rehab.  (Fastwitch Red)

6am...I met Craig and Lynette at the corner for a run.  Ran through SRL to Broadway then over to Boulevard and back via Sunnyside.  Just over 6 miles catching up after not running together for a long time.  Went back home and got Moxie and we ran 7.5 miles with a few miles with John Coyle on his last run in Idaho Falls.  Ran into Curt and Alana then back home for a total of 14 miles for the day.   Pick up the family and went to the gym for weights...now I am hungry!  (Boost)
