* = 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)

Am. 0.4 mile run fail. I just didn't have it this morning. Hamstrings were pretty sore.

pm. Island walk mini bridges. 2.4 up. Then weights. Then 2.4 down. Seventy something degrees.

The man with the charts says last Saturday's race translates to a 3:13 marathon. Dang.

in happier news, i lost 4 pounds.

6 am. 3.5 miles. Hood route. Windy. Track stuff later.

Track stuff. 6:30 pm start. More wind and no light from the softball fields next door. It rained a lot today. Lanes 1-3 were flooded. 2 up. 1600, 800, 800, 400, 400, 1.5 down. The goal was to run the second lap of the 800s faster than the first.

6:25, 3:06, 3:10, 1:28, 1:26.

7.5 miles. 6 am start. Hood route to legacy trail and back. Breezy.

6:30 pm. Island Walk mini-bridges. (the anti-tempo.) 2.4 up. then weight training. then 2.4 down. The temps dropped while I was at work today to 59 degrees. Off tomorrow. 20+ Saturday. 

Interesting non-running related stuff. I got a note home from school today for boy #2. In part, it says "John licked a book I gave him ...." I should make a list of things I have to say as a parent, that I would have never imagined I would say in my life. I could come up with a bunch more, but the two of my favorites right now are: 1. "Stop throwing bait fish at those people." and 2. "Let's try not to lick books anymore."

I had to sign the note for him to take it back tomorrow. 

 

I'm going to lick it, because that's how we roll over here.
