* = 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)

Every now and then, I think about this dude running with a decomposing deer skull strapped to his back, and it cracks me up. That guy used to have the best daily running reports, full of pictures. It was like he was marketing trail running for a job.

| Hood route to legacy trail and back. Longest run since 11/24/23. 2 reasons for this:
1. Large equipment removing branches, and trail clearing right now. so doing laps on the trails is out today.
2. My company has offered to pay for my race entry to a local half or 5k around St. Patrick's Day. I have been bummed about running since my last race in April. But the possibility of the return of "Fatty McButterpants", and having my company pay for it, might be enough of a push to get me into a training mode for the next 2 months. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

| 2 on the trails. I'm very angry about something at work, and another thing at home, so I went for a run. Run cut short because of homeless lady yelled across pinebrook road for me to call 911. I don't run with a phone. Had to flag down a car from the backside of the full drainage ditch. after 10 cars ignored me, 2 old dudes in a mini van stopped. Explaining the situation to them, and watching them fumble through old guy vs. technology, was painful. As he's calling, a fleet of ambulances are in route to the retirement center just down the street, and he says that must be for her. No. No, No please keep dialing sir. please hit that last number. Then they didn't know what road they were on. So i have to scream across the drainage ditch at them, because they are hard of hearing, and now traffic is building up. Eventually, a police officer shows up, and asks her her age. She is my age. Crazy. I thought she was easily 15 years older than me. I ask the officer if he has the situation handled, and he says i can go. maybe a half hour of this nonsense. So in that last part running, I hear 2 fleets of ambulances coming from 2 different directions, and I'm getting angry about all of the money getting wasted here. And I'm thinking of having to run by this ridiculous situation on subsequent laps, so I pulled the plug on the run.
Long story short, the run didn't relieve me of my other troubles, it only added a new layer of anger.

I remember when I was a kid, during the 1970's running boom, "helping" my dad lose weight by running with him along the Delaware Canal Towpath in Levittown. Man, he hated running, but it's better than being fat. I had a running outfit, that believe it or not, was like terry cloth, or a beach towel material. That's like the opposite of running clothes today. I should go back there and run that again. I'm sure it's better maintained than it was in the 70's.

I just noticed Adam RW left the blog about a month ago. It's not like we were tight, but we commented on each other's pages every now and then. There's 35 of us left here, every month, posting about running, and non-running things. I have no other social media. No facebook, no instachats, etc. Every now and then someone asks me when something occurred. And I think "oh that was after such and such race", and I go to the blog and I find the date. There's a lot of memories I have posted here over the last 12 years. I guess I have no real point to what I'm saying. Just kind of melancholy about it.

| I've been thinking about how when I started running, the Legacy Trail did not exist. And now, it has grown to where I haven't seen all of it. I have logged a lot of miles out there. And this guy made a long board video of the part that I ran most frequently:
https://youtu.be/Esca9JN8hIQ?si=-vSgGbitm-iU89Jd
He starts on East Venetian Waterway Park, across the intracoastal from Venice High School. And ends at the Laurel Road Bridge (Which I have always referred to as the SWOM - Stupid Waste Of Money bridge.) That's where I get on the trail. In between, he goes by the old train station (now a bus station), crosses Roberts Bay, and Dona Bay.

At noon, Mom and my brother moved Pop to a new memory care facility. I went in to visit at about 3. He thought he was a realtor again, I guess. He started describing the various features of the house (none of which is true). ... "This place was built by old man Hamilton.... on the other side, he has an oven built into the wall..... next to that is a half bathroom, not a full bathroom, but a half bathroom..." That cracked me up. We started asking him questions about the property. He was incredibly knowledgeable.

Then visited my dad in the afternoon. my mom was there, when I showed up. He was stubborn, confused, and uncoordinated. And our entire visit was sabotaged by the limitless questions required by "the process." It really coudn't have gone much worse.
Let me get this straight. We're paying you people 6 grand a month, and if he gets a scratch on his arm, you are not authorized to put a band-aid on it? Even if we supply the band aids? Are you familiar with how brittle old man's skin is? I've seen his elbow bleed after a strong breeze. So what's the proceedure then? He gets a cut. You call me up. I drive over here and put a band aid on him? Is there a preemptive band aid sleeve we can put on this guy?
Then we got news at 9 pm that my son was accepted into Spirit of Atlanta. I think this will be great for him. Spirit of Atlanta

| Pop was much better today. He's still not there, but at least he was happy today. He even laughed a couple times. At one point he got up with his walker, moved to the middle of the room, and yelled out "I need everyone's attention!" These were the clearest words I have heard from this guy in over a month. Everything else has been mumbling. Then he made another announcement, along the lines of "Welcome to Detroit." He thought we were in a train station, and that he was in some position of authority. Pop and I have never been to Detroit. So why he chose that town is a mystery. Also, we have rode trains maybe 3 times in our lives. The whole time, he had this smile going, like this was the set up for this great joke he had in mind. And he was letting me into the joke. Almost like, watch, this is going to be hilarious. Or it could be that I was reading too much into what was happening.
The point is - I'll take embarrassing, but happy pop over frustrated and angry pop every day if I can. It is amazing how similar handling a father with dementia is to babysitting a really drunk buddy.

| 4.5 on the trails. 2.5 with the shirtless tire dragger. He texted me and asked me to go run with him. I'm really not used to talking when I run. He was getting beat up with horse flies. Dude, just wear a shirt. Then he was going in a direction that looked like it was going to be an ankle twisting route, so we split up. Summer is here. It is quite warm and humid. It hardly rains in May around here, so all the plants and grass look brown. Not my favorite season.

Yesterday, when I was running with the shirtless tire dragger, I dusted off an old Krong line - "I can run a lot of miles, because I run a lot of miles." I was talking about the runner I was 8-10 years ago. And I got to thinking about how I don't run as much as I used to. So I decided to go a bit longer today. We'll see if I can keep this up.

| 3 days in a row! Look out for this guy! Homeless green bike guy, that I think lives in the woods I run through, was standing next to the public restroom as I ran by. I've seen this guy out here for maybe 5 years. Well today he decided to talk. As I was running by, he said "No running in class! You'll have to go to the principal's office!" I gave him a courtesy laugh. Now past him, He then yelled at my back "Remember that?! From school?" You waited 5 years for that? Weirdo. | |

| Tropical storm Debbie. I took boy #1 to the beach to surf. The waves were a bit too much for him, but he got out there, and gave it a shot. The storm hit here at high tide. So everything is flooded. My dad fell at the memory care facility. They took him to the hospital. I picked up my mom and drove her there, because 81 year olds shouldn't be driving in tropical storms. We stayed with my dad in the ER until midnight. | |

| Had an early meeting at the hospital to discuss what the memory care facility needs my dad to be able to do, so he can be released back to them. The answer is basically he can't be bed ridden. He has to be able to get up to get on toilet, wheelchair, etc. with some assistance. He's going to need some PT in the hospital. I left the meeting feeling like I could leave town, and if anything comes up, my brother could handle it. Mom's getting sicker. Meds are barely working. Then I flew to Indy, feeling like a selfish jerk. | |

Back home, My kid's high school band director was so psyched about John being in the show, that he streamed a watch party in the performing arts center. Also back home, they released my father from the hospital. And returned him to the memory care facility where he has been living for the last 3 months. Since mom is still sick, my brother oversaw that move. Very grateful for him heading that up. | |

| Morning flight home from Indy with Spouse and John. After we unpacked the world's most disgusting suitcase that my boy has been living out of for 3 months, I threw out the suitcase because it seems unlikely that that stink can be removed or reduced. Then I visited pop back at the memory care facility. He condition has deteriorated a bit since I was away. Then I visited mom. She's feels much better. The meds did their job. But still doesn't feel right about visiting my father yet. Then we got the call that my mother in law was going into the hospital overnight.

First day of senior year high school for John. This is going to be a circus out there. There is a new traffic routing to get cars on campus, no reserved parking spaces, new ID badges, new metal detectors at school entrances (which is great for folks that have to bring a horn to school every day). I look forward to hearing how it all went.

On my way to the trails, bikini lady decided to talk to me. She has lived down the street from me for the last 12 years. We've never spoken. I know I've written about her here before. She does all of her yard work in a bikini, which is really unsafe. Like an OSHA inspector's nightmare. And she was a lot to explain to my sons when they were little. Anyhow, we spoke for about 10 minutes. Her life, from beginning to now, has been a non stop tragedy. One trauma after another. I am disturbed by the things I heard. I wish I could go back to my preconversation ignorance about her. Or be more sympathetic, like my mother. Or not notice that I ran faster because of all the things she said rattling around in my head.
Next time she wants to put an eight foot ladder in the bed of a pickup truck, climb to the top of it in a bikini and flip flops, and prune her extremely thorny Canary Island Date Palm, well, she can have at it.

Between that and the trees on the trails that I have to hurdle or crawl under, it is really taking a lot of effort to go run, even as slow and short these runs have been. The shirtless tire dragger loves the fallen trees, since he is a trail running - obstacle course guy. So the trees can lay out there forever, as far as he's concerned. My buddy in orlando is doing a half marathon in december, and he asked me to run it with him. But I am not training if I'm still coughing. Senior night at the football game.

only 22 people posted on the fastrunningblog last week. It bums me out a bit. I've got 12 years of memories in this place. I know I haven't been a consistent commenter (or runner) lately. I still come here every day and read about goings on. There are few race reports that get commented on these days. (this includes me) I wonder why people would continue to write lengthly race reports about getting a BQ, or getting an age group podium finish, or whatever, if they know there will never be any feedback. I'm going to try to do better. I am genuinely inspired by your commitment to training, regardless of your age, or goals. You should know you are appreciated.

| 4 on the trails. "feels like" 83. Yeah that's warm, but with the humidity and dew point both below 65, it's almost refreshing around here.

| on the trails. Neighbor lady down the street that I haven't talked to in months came outside after my run and stopped me to give me some home made ice cream sandwiches. They look awesome. It's just ice cream between two cookies, but still. I'm tempted to eat these before the rest of my family gets home.

| 4.5 on an Atlanta hotel treadmill, watching the end of the Gator vs. hotty toddy game. Sometimes when I'm sitting on the couch for Gator games, I lean to help move the pile when they really need an extra yard. But on a treadmill, this becomes quite dangerous. I'm okay, but things could have gone bad. On the other hand, you know, they won, so.... It would have been worth it. | |

They moved my dad back to the hospital while I was out of town this weekend. So I went and saw him after the run. I'll be making plans with my mom and brother later. This is a rough time - memory care facility to hospital to rehab facility to memory care facility to hospital to rehab facility to memory care facility to hospital to rehab facility to memory care facility. We've done this dance a couple of times.

| 3/4 of the way through the trail loop, I ran into the shirtless tire dragger. We were just talking for a minute, when a car pulled off the side of pinebrook road, the driver got out, left his door open, and started running back where he came from. So we went over to the edge of the drainage ditch that separates pinebrook road from the trails, and figured out that someone in a motorized wheelchair had got caught in loose sand off of the sidewalk on pinebrook road. And the guy in the car was running back to help. The shirtless tire dragger thought it would be good for us to help, so we got to the edge of the ditch, and 1,2,3.... he didn't jump. But I did. I landed nowhere close to the other side of the ditch. In knee deep water. So I crawled out at the exact moment that the helpful driver freed the wheelchair pedestrian from the sand. (I don't know if it was a man or a woman in the wheelchair. Not that it matters. But I don't run with my glasses. Even at 25' from this person, I still couldn't tell.) So then I ran back to get on the trail without jumping (or attempting to jump) the ditch, finshed my mile with squishy Hokas, and went home.

| 1 on the trails. then I ran into the shirtless tire dragger and his nephew. They were still laughing at me for jumping in the ditch yesterday. For 2 years, S.T.D. has been trying to get me to run these obstacle course races with him. The races are (in theory) designed in a way that you get through the obstacles with teamwork. And then he pulls the "1,2,3.. psyche" on me yesterday? This is not making me any more interested in competing with him. Then I ran 5.5 hood route miles, and had some friends honk at me on the way.
Happy Thanksgiving.

| 4 miles. Capri Isles Loop. It was before sunrise, and there is too much construction to run the Hood route, so I ran Capri Isles Loop. I had a really good pace going this morning. This makes me want to time something, to see where I am at. 50 degrees.

| 10.2 miles. 60 degrees. longest run since 7/28/23. Actually felt great. Hood route to legacy trail to colonia and back. The decision to go on a longer run is not directly related to yesterday's disagreement with the shirtless tire dragger. Also, boy #2's 18th birthday today. | |
