* = 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)

4.6 miles. Ringling Bridge. 35:09. 7:38 pace. Okay, this is getting kind of rough. At the end of my runs lately, I yawn. That tells me that I'm not getting enough air while I run, right? I know it ain't because I'm sleepy. Maybe I'm just in a little running funk lately. Or maybe it was because I accidentally knocked my knee with a concrete block today. Or maybe, it was because it was SO HOT,...(How hot was it?)...It was so hot, my sweat started sweating! Anyway, I'm going to keep on pushing through this. Something good will shake out.

4.6 miles. Ringling Bridge. 35:42. 7:45 pace. I was slightly re-routed by the boat show. I had to run on grass. I felt like I was a step quicker than yesterday, but maybe not. I'm starting to get used to the heat, I think.
