* = 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)

6:15 am start. 20.75 miles. Hood route to legacy trail to circus bridge to caspersen beach and back. A little cooler this morning, but it is still Aug in Florida, so no joyride out there. Next weekend the kids have a home game, so i don't know if i'll long run Saturday or Sunday yet.

7.5 miles. Hood route. 5:45 am start. It rained buckets last night, so the frogs were really singing this morning. The street lights were out on Laurel Road, so there were some dark areas. At least the moon was bright.

7.5 miles. Hood route. 5:30 am start. Legs were kind of indifferent to running this morning. Not fighting me, but not exactly helping me either. Anyhow, i'm cruising along and i see the most bizarre cloud formation ever. It was an amazing back lit cloud shaped like the letter M. It stood out from everything else like it was glowing. I ain't that deep of a guy. But i start thinking, what does this mean, what is the significance of the letter M, etc.

then i got home and found out NASA launched a rocket this morning.

6:15 pm. At track. I was scheduled to do hills again, but i wanted to do something measureable. 2 up plus strides. 8 x 400 with 2 minutes rest. 1:19, 1:23, 1:27, 1:25, 1:27, 1:27, 1:26, 1:27. 1 down.

Sore heel. I'm taking a couple of days off. This is different than the Achilles nonsense i had back in December. This pain is more at the base of my right heel. I don't think this is a direct result of running the track, although I knew it was enough of a problem to cut my cool down run short. I hope to do a short run tomorrow to test things out again. Man, once again, the timing is okay, as long as this goes away quickly. Every race, two months out, i have to catch the injury bug. Dadgummit!
