* = 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)

No running today. Just went and cheered on my sister in law at the Sarasota Half. I annoyed nearly everyone with my cowbells, but guess what? I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell. Being on that side of the fence is a little new to me. Anyhow, those medals are crazy big! I saw a lot of familiar faces out there, which was cool. Some of the people raced yesterday, as well. The heat and humidity were miserable this morning. I'm proud of her for finishing strong in both this race, and the series. Then we had a big seafood lunch, and went to the beach. The water is not too cold for the kids, but I can't take it. So, now I have sunburned feet. I'll run the bridge (which was part of this course) tomorrow.

I was originally one of the five guys. Long story. Did I:

1. Miss out on something incredible and life-changing?

2. Dodge a bullet?

It's twisting my melon, man.

7.5 miles. Hood Route. Last night's shrimp po boy was not a wise choice. Still felt like a good run.
