* = 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)

7.5 miles. hood route. 6 am start. in the soup. still waiting on the new shoes to come in. 

Funny story from this weekend's soccer tournament: 

When Tommy was playing soccer, Johnny was on the playground. He met a bunch of kids there. Anyway, there was this kid, amybe 5 or 6 years old.

Johnny says "What's your name?"

The kid says "Awesome."

Johnny says "What?" 

The kid says "Awesome." 

Johnny says "Austin?" 

The kid says "No, Awesome." 

Johnny says "Where's your mom?"

The kid points. 

Johnny goes to the mom and says "What's his name?"

Mom says "awesome." 

Johnny says "Austin?"

Mom says "No, Awesome."

Johnny introduced me to Awesome later. So for the rest of the weekend, Someone would say something like "Did you see that shot? Wow, that was awesome!" And we would say "No, that's not Awesome. I've met Awesome. He's much shorter, is missing a couple of teeth, and likes to pretend that playground mulch is hot lava." 

It is amazingly funny how many times someone uses that word. 

The rest of my weekend is irrelevant -- I MET AWESOME!
