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, 17, and 18.

I started running because someone dared me to.

I ran my first race 3 days after my 40th birthday. (Disney)

18 miles in Sarasota with the "cool kids." Adam remembered that I said I've lost my Mojo the last time we were running, and actually brought a Mojo bar. My Mojo was at Publix. Who knew? Anyhow, I started early (5:00 am) from Urfer Park with Paul and Adam for 3 miles around the neighborhoods there. 78 deg. 81% hum. 72 d.p. We had several different kinds of rain for the run(s), but none of them were intolerable. It rained, in one form or the other, the whole time. I wore my camelbak, thinking that we were going to do 18 miles, straight away. But I was not aware of the plan for the morning. The rest of the group got there, and said that they staged water out at Benderson Park, so I left my Camelbak in the car for that run. So, shorthand: 3 miles-Camelbak, 15 miles-No Camelbak. I ate the Mojo bar and we headed out for the 15 miler. There was 7 of us now. It is @ 6 miles from Urfer to Benderson Park, 3 miles around Benderson, and then the 6 miles back. Benderson is a new park, with a long, rectangular lake, where they hope to have rowing championships someday. It was pretty nice, but it was also dark and rainy, so I didn't see as much of it as I'd have liked to. Before we left Benderson on the way back, I had to stop at a POP. My running was never really smooth after that. I struggled on the way back, and finished last. Not a race, but still. Then we went out for Banana pancakes. Longest run(s) in a long time. I'll take it. They want to run a 50k in the woods up north of here in a couple of months, in honor of one of the guys' 50th birthday. I don't know, man. I don't know.
