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)

16.25 miles. Hood route to Legacy Trail to Circus Bridge and back. Really smooth run. Last mile in 7:27. Red skies over Roberts Bay this morning. I got new shoes (Nike) last night. I have been running in very cheap Asics since the Sports Authority Going out of Business sale. So, about @ 3 miles in, I'm thinking "Wow this is going realy well." and immediately after, "How long have I been running in flat shoes?, and How much damage have I done to myself in that time?" And then the miles clicked off...

In non-running, proud dad news- Boy # 2 recovered a fumble at last Saturday's home football game, attended by a bunch of family in town for my parents' anniversary party. That was a pretty cool moment. This weekend in Imokkalee (sp), He recovered another fumble on the opponent's 6 yard line. His team scored the only touchdown of the game on the next play. I asked him why he didn't pick up the ball and walk into the end zone and score himself. He said "It's not my job to score touchdowns. That's somebody else's job" Um, okay. But I think Edgerrin James (pride of Imokkalee) would disagree.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
20.75	0.00	20.75

20.75 magical miles with Mullet, Manatees, and a moon set over the gulf. 5:15 am start. 1st half 1:31:04 (8:47 pace). 2nd half 1:28:21 (8:31 pace). Overall 2:59:25 (8:39 pace). If you have ever read my blog before, you know how rare a negative split over any distance is for me, so this is cause for celebration around here. 3 weeks to race day, and although I am feeling fit enough to race, and put out a good effort, the complete lack of speedy stuff in my training has me a bit nervous.

In other news, some friends of ours are out of town for 5 days, so we have inherited 2 additional sons until tuesday. 4 boys is like 2 boys, only louder. These guys play soccer. Everyone has a game this morning, and no one is on the same team.

Today is going to rock!
