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)

5.5 Miles. Hood Route. 48:54. 8:53 pace. 5:45 am start. 75d-100%h-75d.p. Great RUN! (). Blister on right "had-no-roast-beef" toe, police cars circling the neighborhood (filling my head with all kinds of "what-if's"), ran through clouds of gnats, hit my head on a low branch hard enough to knock my hat off, stopped to scratch the mosquito bites on my ankles 2x, passed a guy with questionable control of his dogs, you know, just a JOY to be out! Saw my brother walking to work afterwards. I walked/talked with him for a while, then ran the half mile back home. So THAT was a positive. It was good to catch up with him. I'm going to try to get something better out of this evening. It shouldn't be that difficult to do, with the bar being set so low this morning.

6:30 pm. I got 1 warm up lap in with Tommy at the track before the lightning started. Not a good day.

3.5 miles. (NEIGHBOR)Hood route. 5:45 am start.28:41. 8:12 pace. 73 deg. 94% hum. 72 d.p.

5.2 Miles. Ringling Bridge. 36:38. 7:03 pace. 5:30 pm start. 78 d. 79 hum. 71 d.p. Heavy rain at 4 pm today, FLOODING EVERYTHING. I think I could have ducked under 7 minute pace, had it not been for dodging / running through the puddles. I'm a bit tired of this rain, now. Please make it stop. Anyhow, cool song stuck in my head: http://youtu.be/mW6G3nh5S3I

16.25 miles Legacy Trail to Circus Bridge. 5:30 am start time. 2:20:24. 8:38 pace, last mile in 7:11. 79 deg. 83% hum. 73 d.p. Fairly even and smooth run throughout. Spouse got me new socks. Seriously, I can think of 3 things that feel better than putting on new socks. (1. Q-tips, 2. Waterslides 3. I forget the third one.) Nice heat lightning before sunrise, and cotton candy clouds after. I'm a little bummed that I'm not doing the The Venice Tri this morning. We sure had fun last year, and I love the feeling of race day. Next year, Team Side Meat will return!
