* = These 5 races were run at 67.9 seconds per pound. If I want a PR, I need to weigh less than 170 pounds. Short-Term Running Goals: 2024 GOALS:
to not get fat Long-Term Running Goals: Continue running as often as I can, as far as I can, as fast as I can. Teaching my kids (by example) the rewards that come from putting in the work. Very slowly get to 50 states. Personal: I'm married, with two sons, 18, and 19. And as of January 18, 2025, one grandson.
I started running because someone dared me to.
I ran my first race 3 days after my 40th birthday. (Disney)

| 8 miles. hood route to legacy trail over the SWOM bridge and back.
For the last 5? 6? years I have been running some version of this route, and calling it 7.75 miles. I re-measured the route yesterday. As it turns out, I have been shorting myself by a quarter mile on each of the runs. What do I do now? 1. Continue marking this as 7.75 miles to remain consistent? 2. From this day forward, mark this as 8 miles? 3. Go back through my run history and change all of the runs to 8 miles?
The explanation of how I could be this wrong is that when I originally mapped the run on Mapmyrun, the SWOM bridge was not shown on the aerial photograph, so I had to estimate where it started and ended. Now the bridge is there, and I really underestimated the length of the span.
First run over the SWOM bridge was Dec.8th, 2018. but I think the post and comments from Dec. 9th are better: They all can't be "easy" runs.

| 6 rough miles on the trails. I have had an exceptionally bad diet this weekend. But the point is: 1st 40 mile week since July 2023.
Also, my youngest is a senior and a musician. Every year, they have music performance assessments (MPA's). So this is the last one. They are judged at districts, and if given "Superior" they get to go on to perform at state. My son was awarded superior at district for his performance of this piece today: https://youtu.be/9aoVhah8YLw?si=PYU6Oq6tKya01mZp

| 10.2 miles. Hood route to legacy trail to colonia and back. I went out for 8 and got inspired, I guess. I did have to make an emergency bathroom stop on the way back. But the miles all felt pretty good. 77 deg., 69% hum., 67 d.p.

Spouse and I are going to the Savannah Bananas game today. I've seen a few videos. It looks like fun.

| I intended to run, but helped my brother investigate an irrigation problem at his house instead. Minimal digging this time.

| 8 hood route to legacy trail, over the SWOM bridge and back. This run felt really good and fast. Possible explanations are 1. temps dropped @ 30 degrees overnight. 2. I took yesterday off from running. 3. I ate a comical amount of zucchini at dinner last night. What is in that stuff?
