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

6M nice and easy in 46 minutes in warm and calm weather. Left hip a bit stiff but the sinus thing seems to have resolved itself (at least this morning, hope it doesn't flare up later in the day like the last 2 days).

Over slept this morning and got up a bit late...4:40am! Had to be in to work early today so I had the cut the run short. Ran 5.25M in 37:30 in very warm weather for December in Idaho...40 degrees and just a light breeze and a dusting of snow. Would have loved to have gone longer except for that dang snooze button! Since I was in to work about 1 hour early, I will try to go longer at lunch today. (Trigon)

Great running day at lunch...36 degrees, no wind, mostly cloudy, great company running with Jon. He is doing his 5 hour run today so I agreed to run with him for a spell to help him pass the time. Ended up running 10.4M in 1:21:30 for a nice longer run. Had a great conversation with Jon, a lot of it about how crazy he is to be running for 5 hours! Saw a pretty good number of runners out enjoying the weather before the cold reappears later this week. (Progrid)

6M nice and easy early this morning in warm weather once again (35 degrees). Very easy pace (total time of 51 minutes), knees were a bit achy this morning. (Trigon)

6.2M this afternoon at lunchtime in warmer weather with snow coming down. I was in meetings all morning and happened to hit the park the same time as Jon, so we ran the entire length together. Nice and easy (about a 7:48 pace) to help him with his 3.5-4 hour run today...great to have the company and conversation. Knees better, great to get out and enjoy the run and outside after a full morning. (Progrid)

7M on the TM at the gym this morning. It was colder and very windy and the roads/paths are very icy due to the weather. So I decided to do a faster run inside today...7M in 42:56 for a 6:08 average. 1M w/u, 5.75M at MP (6:11 or better) including 2M at 5:50ish. Overall a good run which felt very easy today (due to my really easy running lately). Hope to get out at lunch on the greenbelt pathway. (Stratos)

5.15M at lunch around the greenbelt in slippery, windy and cold conditions...but not as bad as I thought it would be. Took the pace easy due to the icy pathways and finished in 37:37 for a decent wintery run. The Progrids I am running in are workhorses...still going strong at almost 800 miles! (Progrid)

We were up late last night dealing with a couple of issues, so I slept in this morning and decided not to go to work today thus I went out for a run a bit later than usual. 7.25M in 48:50 (6:44 average) in cold and slightly breezy weather but I wa able to put in a couple of slow MP miles today. Saw Andrea and Lynette and ran with them for about 0.5M before I took off again. Now off for a day of food prep for this evening and tomorrow.

Merry Christmas to the FRB!

Went out this morning with McKay and Andrea for a longish run. I ran 3.5M solo before hooking up with them, then ran about 7M with both of them, then another mile with Andrea only before heading home for the last 1.7M. Overall time of 1:40:12 for the run on a cold (7 degrees) but windless morning. Dress in several layers and was almost hot at times except for my face on which I wore a balaclava and had to keep pulling it on and off.

Official surpassed my mileage for last year today, then rest of the year is just gravy!

Stayed up late last night playing Guitar Hero, but my kid's both stayed up later than me...I was tired!
