* = 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)

7.5 Mi. Hood route. 7 a.m. start. Came home soaked. Then played basketball and soccer with the boys. Then haircut. Then finished pressure washing my neighbor's driveway.

So the whole time we were in South Dakota spouse kept trying to order something called Kuchen. It is the official state dessert of South Dakota. Unfortunately no one had it, or heard of it even. So last night spouse and boy #1 made Kuchen here. The best I can describe it is cheesecake + apple pie = Kuchen. It's really awesome, and I wish we could have found some of it up north, for comparison. What if we have it all wrong, and this is some new Florida - South Dakota Kuchen hybrid!

Back in Fort Myers. 9 am start. On the John Yarborough Linear Park Trail again. Running this route is 3 for 3 for snake sightings. We'll see if we can keep the streak alive tomorrow! Both, the heebees and the jeebees.

P.s. 1,000 miles for the year.
