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

Day off.  Very stiff neck and just not feeling it today. 

My mom's birthday today...also 60 years since she immigrated to the USA from Hungary.  Good times to celebrate.

Still had a stiff neck this morning, -8 outside, nearly skipped. Had a cup of coffee then went to the gym for a 10K in 40:30.  Glad I ended up getting off my duff. (Altra Impulse)

4:45am...10K on the treadmill at the gym in 39:22.  Felt ok, but I think the Fastwitch are now dead. Last day of work for 2016!  (Fastwitch)

5 miles at lunch in a balmy 20 degrees.  Snow and ice covered pathways, went slow. Left ankle and knee tweak.  Time to retire Ride's too. (Ride 5)

Slept in on my first day of vacation...ok only to 5am.  Ran some errands early and took care of sick kids.  Went out in the sunshine and 25 degree weather on snowy/slushy/icy pathway for 7 miles.  Good to be outside but the conditions were slow. (Xodus)

Slept in a bit then did some Christmas preparation before heading to a funeral for a friend's mom who was a great lady.  Second funeral in a month for someone passing away from a brain related issue. Sad.  Funeral talks stressed making relationships right...have a couple I need to contiue to work on.

After lunch, went out for a 5 mile run in the neighborhood in 15 degrees (and sun!) with Kami riding her new fat bike.  She loved it! Good time with my wife. (Xodus)
