Logged (on computer) 24,901 miles (circumference of the earth) in 5,744 days (11/20/25) 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 20. 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. 81 deg., 61% hum., 66 d.p. Much faster than normal for me. I don't know why. 21 straight days running. I've never been much of a streaker. But I see no reason to stop now.

| 3 on the trails. Short run because I had a meeting in Sarasota to get to. But definitely a top contender for the weirdest song to pop in my head while running - Kon Kan - I beg your pardon.

| End of running streak.
The day ended with the VHS Chorus end of year conecert. They allow chorus alumni to get on stage for the finale. So, Boy #1 and Boy #2 were on stage singing together for the first time in 4 years. Both of my sons are good singers.

| 4 on the trails. We had the first rain yesterday in months. This made it a bit cooler out and somewhat compacted the sand on the trails. It has been running in loose sand for a long time. So today had a bit more zip too it. Also, life is getting in the way of running again. I'm really trying to force myslef out there. But it is tough right now. Also, Pop received his real, not temporary, headstone at Sarasota National Cemetary yesterday. I went to see it / him after church today. I like it a lot better than the temporary marker. I know it's odd to talk about my dad on Mother's Day, but in fairness, I saw her first. She knows how I feel about her.

| 4 on the trails. I caught up with the shirtless tire dragger in the middle of the 4th lap. He's training for a 25 hour obstacle course race in London in a month and a half. I'm trying to not get fat.

| 4 miles trails. The shirtless tire dragger saw me on mile 2. He said "you're going pretty fast today." I guess I was. I couldn't sleep last night. I'm going through a lot of stuff right now. I don't mean to be so ambiguous. But this is one of the most trying times of my life.

31st Anniversary. Life is expensive right now, so we're going to a small restaurant with good chowder for dinner.

| last night was boy #2's graduation party. He is going to miss the actual graduation next week, because he's off to Spirit of Atlanta Spirit of Atlanta | Music Education Non-Profit again this summer. He was originally going to attend, but then they moved the graduation date, and school year last day back because of the hurricanes. Anyhow, it was a great party.
