Kinda consistently running since 07 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter.  The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance.  Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

Personal:

I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.

Dean Karnazes saw me walking by and asked me to take a picture with him. I happen to be his hero.

Ran with Uncle Mark.  It's good to have company, even though I wasn't able to provide any conversation due to my wheezing and groaning.

Another 5 miles on the Strand with Leon, but probably not enough to counteract the soulfood, margaritas and brownies from last night.

Took my cousin to hike the backway to the Hollywood sign, but we had to turn back after a mile.  It was a steep mile up and a gently sloped mile and 3/4s down.  She is now motivated to quit smoking.

Ruck 40-45 lbs in Griffith Park with a hiking group. 

Elevation gain 800+.

Stopped several times for the stragglers which sucked.  I had worked up a sweat and I was too cold to stand around.  I didn't know the route and I have a sense of direction that gets thrown off in a parking lot, so I had no choice but to stand and freeze.
