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)

3.5 miles. Hood Route. 6 am start. It felt cooler this morning, but the weatherman says it was not. I was kind of dazed out there, not really feeling it today.  

5.5 miles. Hood Route, 6:15 pm start. During Football practice. Couple of degrees drop in temps made a big difference tonight. Not that I timed it or anything, it just felt easy. And quicker. The cold front stalled up in Tampa, but the word on the street is that it will get here tomorrow, with more rain. Not nearly soon enough!

16.25 miles. Hood route. 5:40 am start. The humidity / dew point just before sunrise was humbling. By the time the sun came up, and cooked away a little bit of moisture, I had been running for an hour at 9 minute pace. I couldn't get the body to go any faster. I was too used to the turnover. So i ran the whole thing at 9 minute pace.
