* = 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)

5.5 miles hood route 6:15 am start. Song in my head - Welcome by 311.

Then (since they have made the student pick up and drop off requirements so cumbersome) a 15 minute bike ride with boy #2 to school, and then 15 minutes back.  It's about 3 miles-ish. When I go to ride home with him this afternoon, I have to remember to bring hand snips. The branches are tough to get by on the sidewalk in places.

Here's to the end of the longest spring break ever. 

Also, our family has become hooked on the Cobra Kai TV show on netflix. It's about time that Johnny Lawrence got a backstory.

5.5 miles. hood route. 6:45 am start. I saw some walkers out, and they were looking to the sky. I asked them what they were looking at. They said they could see Jupiter. They pointed it out to me. So I saw Jupiter this morning. They say next month we should see Saturn. I guess there will be a SpaceX rocket launch in about a half hour that I should check out as well.
