Short-Term Running Goals:

2023 GOALS:

Coastal Delaware Running Festival Marathon - 4/16/23 - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

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 18.

I started running because someone dared me to.

I ran my first race 3 days after my 40th birthday. (Disney)

1.5 miles. Then back home. Then 2 miles. I've been trying to quit coffee, as I do not like relying on it, as part of my pre-run ritual.Some days are better than others.

7 pm. At track with Johnny and his friend, Chris. 1 up. 400. 200. 100. 1 down.

Me: 1:17, 36, 16. Johnny: 1:32, 40, 16. Chris: 1:33, 44, 16.

10.2 miles. Hood route to Legacy trail to colonia and back. 5:45 am start. I had the time and i felt good enough to go the extra distance so i did. Not fast, but i got some good miles in this morning. I went by the orange groves while they were spraying the crops. It was like a half mile of running with a cigarette. I also went by the lumber yard. That is a great fragrance. I saw a racoon, possum, Armadillo, and some bats. Going out at 5:45, instead of the usual 6 am, allowed me to get some running in before the pre-sunrise humidity bomb. I think I may be scheduled out of a saturday run, so i need to get some miles in advance.
