* = 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.

I started running because someone dared me to.

I ran my first race 3 days after my 40th birthday. (Disney)

This is a very small race. I didn't run out of gas in the late miles, as I expected. (Despite my excessive 4 mile warm-up). There were problems with some hairpin turns, and the last 100 yards is across grass, which I wasn't ready for. There was a bounce house in the finish area, so, at least, the kids were happy while I was running.
