Short-Term Running Goals:

2023 GOALS:

Coastal Delaware Running Festival Marathon - 4/16/23 - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

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)

Five on the trails at 5 pm. I saw snakes, gopher tortoises, coyotes, and rabbits out there.

It was a bad weekend for all football fans in Florida. I think every pro and college team lost. The bucs might still win.

^^^^Okay, the bucs were winning by 3 when I typed that.

1 on the trails, then a new 4 mile route I'm calling the Capri Isles route. It's got a little bit trails, a little bit hood, and a little bit something new. It went okay.

5 on the trails. 10 am start. I saw another Coyote out there. 

BTW, This story about the couple that went out west camping, and he came home to north port, you know, without her. North Port is kind of local to here. In fact, some of the people in North Port put Venice down as their mailing address. I have written on more than one occassion of running in Carlton Preserve (where the guy is supposedly hiding out). I don't know why this story is national news, but it is always bizarre when local things I am familiar with are mentioned on the national level.

1 on the trails, then the Capri Isles route. I was going to do all trails, but then I passed a couple of guys smoking pot in the middle of the trail, and they kind of freaked when they saw me. So I didn't want to do that over and over with each lap. 78 deg., 94% hum., 76 d.p. Those numbers don't show it, but it felt not as awful today. Maybe because it was overcast. I came home soaked. But something just felt nicer weather-wise. 

p.s. I had this super manly song running through my head for this run:  https://youtu.be/EDMDb8unsIA
