* = 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)

6:30 pm. 70 minute bike ride. Not too fast. Mostly trails. I did some exploring new trails, and got a bit turned around. It was a fun time.

5:45 am. 1 hour bike ride. Super hot and sticky. One of the most fragrant trips i can remember. Orange blossoms, dead armadillo, lumber yard, cow pasture, night blooming jasmine.

5:45 am. 1 hour bike ride.

6:30 pm. 15 minutes pool running. Then I spent another 15 minutes throwing the football around the pool with the boys. I would have done the pool running longer, but there are a couple kids out there with a GoPro and I didn't want video evidence of me pool running.

6 am. 45 minute bike ride. So much steam out.

pm: at pool with boy #1. I did 15 minutes of pool running, and then we swam laps. All kinds of styles. Why would anyone do the butterfly? Is is so inefficient. If you are the fastest guy in the world at running backwards, even YOU go faster when you run forwards.

5.5 miles. Hood route. 6:30 am start. Shirtless. 77 deg., 87%, 73 dp. 43:31. 7:55 pace. This was a bit tougher than I expected. I am sore in a couple of places on my right leg, which I guess is from overcompensating for a boot on my left leg for the last three weeks. It took about 3 miles to smooth out the bouncy stride. Man, I hate the hot breeze. It is like repeatedly opening a sauna door. My endless summer.

Off to football signups. Then a one hour bike ride with my boys plus one.

I have to admit it is nice to see a number in the green box, instead of an empty grey box.
