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)

Goose egg, but it's not all bad.

Started today in Fruit Cove with a canoe ride down Cunningham Creek with the boys. I let them do the work for the last half hour, and I sat in the middle. They were yelling at each other and banging the oars off the boat. Then a manatee came within a foot of the canoe and surfaced several times, and just hung out there for a few minutes. My sons were immobilized and silent. They were just studying it. It was great. Then spouse drove home through the rain and we watched the women's world cup final. Now I have thunder and lightning, and I'm not running in lightning. Rain, sure. Lightning, no. Another cram session next weekend, for sure. Here we go again.

6 pm: Celery mound. 1.5 up. (10) x 0.1 hill sprints, jog down. 1.5 down. Very tough running today. The second I finished with the last rep, before the cool down, a storm started rolling in. I didn't get rained on, but the sudden drop in temps, with the wind, may have saved me today. There was also a 6" deep gully from all of the rain right through the middle of the path I run. I only ate a few bugs tonight.

5:46 am: 10.2 miles. Hood route to Legacy Trail to Colonia and back. Warm. The boys and I have had Soul Coughing's Super Bon Bon stuck in our heads for the last couple of days.

30+ miles to go. Not looking good.

9:30 pm. 11.5 miles. Hood route. Inspired by the YOUCANDOIT comments. Apparently, I can do it - ALL NIGHT LONG! Seriously, this run was tough. Putting on sweat soaked shoes, steam coming off the roads, heat lightning - fun, fun, fun.

I'm feeling a little better about hitting 55 for the week.

6 am: 3.5 miles. hood route. To knock the rust off from yesterday, and to set myself up for 16.25 miles saturday. Return of the long run - yeah! It took about a mile for this run not to feel awful. I still came home looking like I just got out of the pool. I saw my dad out on his walk at the end of the run, and talked with him for a bit, which was nice. His neighbor has a jackfruit tree, and is willing to give me one. They produce 4-5 fruits per year, so this is kind of a big deal. I am excited to try one of those 80 pound fruits! I'll let you now how it goes.
