* = 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. 6:15 am start. Sunrise over my lake, palm tree silhouettes in a yellow orange sky, effortlessly gliding across the earth, the only noises are my breathing, and the rythym of my stride, all is right with the world, and my place in it.

then I inhaled a bug.

7.5 miles. Hood route. 6 am start. Last mile 6:41, but was over shadowed by crazy jumbo-tron church sign. It said "we support the first and the second amendments." And had a picture of the "I'm just a lonely old bill, sitting here on capital hill" animated scroll of paper, aiming a hand gun, and squinting with one eye.

Well, PTL and pass the ammuntition!

3.5 miles. In tropical storm #9. I'd like to do that 5 minute 1200s with 400 AR workout after football practice tonight, but we're supposed to get 6 inches of rain in the next 3 days. It is likely that most of the lanes are flooded. We'll see.

7.5 miles. Hood route to Legacy trail and back. 6 am start . Lots more debris to jump and move off the sidewalks. I had two separate storms while running. When it wasn't raining, i had hot breeze. Man, I hate the hot breeze. There is no joy there.

7:30 pm. I did the same thing all over again. much faster the secomd time. Somebody cleaned up the sidewalks..
