* = 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. I've been watching a lot of Drew Carey Show lately, so this is the song stuck in my head for this run......

I tried a new route this morning. Let's call it the Capri Isles Route. The downside of this route, is that I pass the starting point @ 4 miles, and can pull the plug on the run earlier than I want to, like I did today.

4 on the trails. I saw 3 snakes, and the shirtless tire dragger. I ran with the shirtless tire dragger for most of it.

7.5 miles. Hood route. I went out for 4 and ended up with 7.5. I guess if the weather is not life-threatening you can do stuff like that. I wouldn't say it was nice weather, just not miserable. And yes, I know I've not run in a bit. Sometimes life gets in the way of running.

On the trails. Talked to the shirtless tire dragger for a bit. Today, he was actually dragging a tire. What a week. Thursday's hurricane was super windy, but no damage to my house. I didn't flood, but I have friends that got 4 feet of water in their house. It hit at low tide. Imagine how bad it could have been.

Trails. 88 deg., “feels like” 101, 77 d.p., 70% hum. I hope to give this another try later. 

Back when I used to work in downtown Sarasota, I would go on a lot of runs over the Ringling Causeway, or also when I would run with "the cool kids of Sarasota." A lot of this video shows those routes as they were Friday....
