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

5 easy miles on an slick and icy path with Moxie.  I got to see an amazing sunrise that lasted about 5 minutes then the day turned gloomy again.  The clouds were alit with vibrant gold, yellow and orange colors...awesome!  (Xodus)

Slept in a bit and went to the gym with Justin and Kami.  6 miles in 37:25 (MP progression for about 5 miles with a few intervals).  Justin was impressive with his 400m intervals all sub 5:40 pace!  (Tangent)

4:30am...10K on the treadmill at the gym in 40:40.  Easy run, legs and hips a bit tight from being on the floor wrapping gifts yesterday, I am too old for that!  (Tangent)

Skipped my morning run today, tired and hips were really tight so I will try to go out at lunch instead.

6.25 miles in 46 minutes around the greenbelt on cold but clear day.  Felt better but still a bit fatigued for this run so I took it easy.  (Mirage)

4:15am...7 easy untimed miles with Moxie along Sunnyside.  It was relatively warm this morning so I did a cold, dark run today.  (Ride)

Saw that Mary Akor got busted for PED's.  I had the chance to run iwth her at TCM 2008, she is fast.  Too bad she had to get there through enhancements and is now paying the price.  All race since Dec. 2012 are now void for her as well.

5:15am...headed to the gym for a workout.  Easy warmup, 10K tempo run (5:46 or faster), a few miles at easy MP, one more fast mile (5:36) then an easy mile to cool down with a fast finish.  Overall 12 miles in 1:12:35 for a 6:02 average pace. Justin came to run 4 miles on the next treadmill with some sweet speed intervals! (Tangent)

Woke up early and got a few things done (wrapped presents, shoveled the driveway, made coffee, etc.) then took Moxie out for a few miles in the mild temps (24 degrees) but with a bit of snow on the ground.  Took her home then met up with Curt for a run through SRL and back home.  Overall 11.5 easy miles.  Legs were a bit heavy and tired but it was nice to be outside.  (Xodus)
