* = 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)

3.5 miles. Hood route. 6am start. Then emergency bathroom stop. (Dang it!) Then around the block intervals. (4) x 0.25 + 0.25 recoveries. 1:22, 1:24, 1:26, & 1:27. Then 3.5 miles. Hood route. I'd say the new interval set up went well. During the course of the runs, 3 of my neighbors decided to do yard work, which was odd for 7am on a Sunday. Even though there are no spectators on the track, I still liked this better!

3.5 miles. Hood Route. 6:15 am start. In the rain. I ran every day in July. In 7+ years of running, I have never run every day in a calendar month. I didn't run big miles, but I ran.

1.5  miles up. EBS. (4) x 0.25, w/ 0.25 recoveries. 1.5 down. 1:28, 1:27, 1:27, 1:26. I feel like I am starting to find the pace on these. I expect to do 6 reps on Sunday, and 8 reps next Thursday.

13 miles. Hood route to legacy trail to Venice Ave and back. 6:30 am start. Extra 0.1 miles from off course emergency bathroom stop at mile 3.

So they have bugun work for an overpass of legacy trail over laurel road. If it is privately funded, then so what? I mean, it would have been more useful to construct an overpass over clark road, which is actually busy. But if "the friends of the legacy trail" want to build here, i dont care. However, if this is publicly funded, i can't think of a bigger waste of money, to benefit such a small minority. The only people benefiting from this overpass would be cyclists that do not want to slow down to push a button to cross the street.
