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, 17, 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. hood route to legacy trail to Colonia and back. 9 am start. I didn't intend to run that far. But when I got out there, everything felt right, so I just kept going. Very smooth miles today. It makes no sense. My diet was garbage last night. It is summer in Florida. I have no idea why this run felt good.

3 on the trails. I just couldn't get it going today. But on the run - The county employees were spreading manure across the top 2 inches or so of the soccer fields. When I went around the corner to where the fields are, the smell was striking and overwhelming. So on my next lap, I was coming up on this couple I have seen out there walking many times, but I have never heard their voices. So I said - "Hey that smell is not me. It's the manure out there. Ha Ha." And the guy responds with the most Boston accent I have ever heard - "Nah. Dat's bahbcaht whizz." And then goes on to explain the fragrance differences between an entire soccer field, covered in manure, and "bahbcaht whizz." And then weirdly got kind of mad at me when I told him I thought it was the manure. He really wanted me to accept his expertise on this subject matter.
