* = 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)

7.75 miles. Hood route to legacy trail over the SWOM Bridge and back. 7 am start. Oppressive humidity and dew point. Slow. First run in new Saucony Triumphs. The Hokas I was running in lasted 1,500 plus miles. The Sauconys have a much wider toe area.

Crazy Church sign has stepped its game up lately. Or maybe I haven't noticed until recently because I am now no longer running in the dark. There were a couple of wacky ones this morning. But top honors goes to a picture of a casket with the quote "Compromise makes for a fine casket."
