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 miles with Moxie, warmer but windy. (Guide Yellow)

3 miles. (Glide Boost)

Now 4 of 4 in our home have been COVID positive.  We tried all year to be safe and use safety practices, only works if others around you in public do to...which they don't in SE Idaho due to our regions "rugged independence".  Now just worried for our elderly parents, we will help out here now that we are positive and keep them out of the public as much as possible.

6 miles on a warm day at lunch.  Roads were mushy and messy but not slick.  Had to stop a couple of times to catch my breath, waning effects of COVID. (Launch Red)

3 miles slow later in the day to enjoy the warm weather before it leaves. (Glide Black)

The weather was really crappy outside, and I felt worse than that.

Last day of work for the year.
