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. "feels like" 94. Miles 2 and 3 were especially tough, for an unknown reason.

| Late start after apartment shopping near USF for Johnny, and after watching on TV the Gator game that was a lot closer than it should have been. (my oldest son, Tommy was there) Did the Venetian Waterway Park right at sunset in intermittent rain, with an extra bit added onto the south end to beyond the Circus Bridge, and more extra added to the north end to beyond the North Bridge.
I believe this is my first 50+ mile week since July 2023.

| 10.2 miles. Hood route to legacy trail to colonia and back. 81 deg., 81% hum., 75 d.p. Those numbers make it look worse than it felt. I saw the shirtless tire dragger's wife and daughter on the way out, and the shirtless tire dragger honked at me on the way back. It's been a while since I've run the roads. I do not remember this much weed stink coming from traffic... In school zones....At 8 am.
Less than 300 miles to the equator goal.

| 10.2 miles. Hood route to legacy trail to colonia and back. 78 deg., 76% hum., 69 d.p. For most of this run, it was below 75 degrees. It was like running in a foreign land. pace was pretty good. I had about a 20 minute stop and chat with a friend of my son's from church. Nice kid. Going off to Appalachian State.

| 8 miles. Hood route to legacy trail over the SWOM bridge and back. I had pretty good speed today. It might have something to do with it being under 75 degrees, and having humidity less than 70%, and dew point at less than 70 degrees.

| 8 miles. Hood route to legacy trail over the SWOM bridge and back. 87 deg., 62% hum., 72 d.p. I broke 1,000 miles on the year. Seems pretty late for that, but at least it's better than last year. As I was running today, for some reason I was thinking of car rides in Pennsylvania with my dad and brothers, as a child. We would be going through farm lands, and the car would become really foul smelling. My brothers and I would really overreact about the stink. (Now that I think about it, this thought came to me as I was running by the goat farm.) Anyhow, my dad would say it was the Skunk Cabbage and point out in the fields. It wasn't until this run, at 54 years old, that I considered the possibility that my dad may have been lying about the source of the smell.. so I got home and googled Skunk Cabbage. It is, in fact, a real thing. But seeing as it is not commercially grown, and exists only in wetlands, yeah, I think my dad was a bit disingenuous about this.

| 5.5 miles. hood route. early for my standards. I'm not used to running in the dark. But 70 degrees at the start of the run!
I now have more miles this month than any other month this year.
This is now my biggest month of mileage since march 2023. That's crazy!

| 4 on the trails. then 3.5 hood route. Dew point was in the low 60's. Felt amazing. I could have run all night if I had better eyes and a camelbak.

| 10.2 miles. Hood route to Legacy Trail to Colonia and back. 81 deg., 63% hum., 67 d.p. kind of breezy. I miss the smell of going by the lumber yard. I have only missed 2 days running this month? wacky.

I'm making plans for racing again. I'm looking at a February Gasparilla half marathon. Also, I've been invited by the shirtless tire dragger to be on a quasi-competative Ragnar team in December.

| 3 on the trails plus 1.5 hood route = 4.5 miles = 200 miles for the month.
Happy Halloween!, and Happy 13 year Blog-iversary to me.
