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)

10.2 miles. 6:45 am start. Hood route to Legacy trail to colonia and back. There was a cycling event on legacy trail this morning. About 600 hundred bikes, they say. I heard "on your left" a few times this morning. Also, one guy in the middle of a pack said "Hey Tom, good morning." I have no clue who that was.

As a true Gator fan, I have been obsessed with brackets this year. The Name Of The Year bracket. Www.nameoftheyear.com

6 pm. 8 miles at Celery Mound. I ran a 2 mile loop. 85 degrees. Full sun. I used to do hill intervals out here. But today, I went long and consistent pace. I ran the grass levees and ran up and down the hill on each lap.

You know, this is a unique place. Gathered here are runners, and mountain bikers, and Hikers in training carrying full packs. Where else can they practice? Also, a large number of rare birds show up here. People come from surprising distances to see birds they might not see otherwise. I see them carrying around gimungous camera equipment, and tip toeing towards a grassy marsh, as I go by grunting. Add to that - I was involved with the planting design on top of the mound, which is just now coming into maturity. And finally, the fact that this place is 100 yards away from the big cat sanctuary. It is common to hear a lion out there. I should totally run here more often.

6am start. Hood route to Legacy trail to colonia and back. I was so looking forward to saying 10.2 Ohpossum free miles, but...

On the way back, right before I crossed Dona Bay, the biggest Opossum ever waddled into the middle of the trail. Like, I originally thought it was a racoon. So, naturally, I picked up a rock and whipped it at him. I missed him by @ a foot. He didn't even flinch. So as I ran towards him, I started clapping my hands. That made him move. His back had ridges. So flipping gross.

Oh yeah, the run was pretty good. I'm playing a lot of soccer lately with the boys. So I'm a little sore-er than usual on most runs. This one felt good, though.
