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. 37:19. 8:07 pace. The knee and back pain are very bad. I went to the doc on Tuesday. I have to cool it for a while. Next appointment is Friday. We'll see what happens after that.

4.6 miles. Ringling Bridge. 36:45. 8:00 pace. In the rain.

Hey, if the Doctor is going to use vague expressions like â€œcool it,â€ then Iâ€™m going to run, because NOT running STINKS OUT LOUD. Anyway, the back feels much better, but not completely right. I believe the back thing came from throwing the kids around in the pool. They are 60 lbs. plus now. If that was the cause, it was totally worth it, and this will be a constant problem. The knee is still a little off, and I have no idea what caused that issue. Hopefully, Iâ€™ll be done with knee pain Friday.

By the way, running in the rain is awesome. I can see why my kids want to go outside every time it rains.

4.6 miles. Ringling Bridge. 35:14. 7:40 pace. Back is much better, but I'm still not entirely over it. Left knee is still weird. I will "cool it" tomorrow, when I go back to the Doc's, I promise. I love it when random songs pop into my head while I'm running. The one I got today, I haven't thought of in YEARS! http://youtu.be/Z_4Uwx2v1KA

I'm on a Vision Quest! Whatever that means. Good song, though.

Not running today, but I Just Run's post of his awesome age group trophy got me to thinking. We should have a board where people put up pictures of unusual / interesting awards they have won.

That coaster I won a couple of weeks ago (2nd place in age group) with the picture of a running shark on it is ridiculous. I keep putting it under the kid's drinks on the coffee table, but Spouse won't let me use it AS A COASTER! Am I supposed to hang it on the wall? What would you do with it? What did Jake do with his Moose trophy?

On the other hand, I earned a coaster with a picture of a running shark on it. Not many people can say that, right? I waited around after the race for about 2 hours to get the thing, so it's not like I didn't want it. But now what?
