* = 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, 17, and 19.

I started running because someone dared me to.

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

4 on the trails. 88 deg., 81% hum., 82 d.p., "feels like" 107. I never noticed how much heat is reflected off of a pinestraw trail before today. It might be worse than the reflected heat from synthetic turf.

Counting crows and Santana in Tampa. Santana was pretty amazing. His 64 year old wife drummer did a 5 minute drum solo at the end of the concert and it was so good. Not like an age group podium finish, but like an overall podium finish. She killed it!
