* = 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)

4.5 miles. Legacy Trail. Johnny on his bike. Tommy RUNNING with me for 4. At 2 miles, Tommy had to stop for a POP. Johnny and I continued to the turn around and picked him up on the way back. This is the farthest he has gone on one run, and he struggled, but finished strong. He really kicked well at the end.

It was super crowded with bikes out there today. I work really hard on my boys to pay attention, keep to the right, etc. Some of the folks on bikes said things to me like "it doesn't get any better than this..." etc., which is cool. But then 2 guys on bikes yelled at Johnny for not getting out of the way fast enough for their satisfaction. Johnny was about 100 yards ahead of me when this happened. So, to put is mildly, I'm a little upset about that.

He's 8 years old. What is wrong with people?

Portland. Ran over 3 of the bridges downtown. Ran by a submarine and a seadoo factory, OMSI, beer fest, concrete plant, uncountable homeless, and that is not in order. My initial gut reaction to this town is that it is beautiful on the macro scale, but ugly on the micro scale.
