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 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 to Legacy Trail and Back. 1:04:55. 8:39 pace. 75 deg., 94 % hum., 73 d.p. 5:30 am start. I kept it slow, because I'm going to the track later. Oh Yeah, That's right, 2 weeks in a row.

I passed a guy running on the road, in the dark. I said "I wouldn't trust those drivers out there. You should run over here, on the sidewalk." He said "Yeah, but my knees can't take the sidewalk." This raises some questions. A) Is there that much of a difference in the impact on your knees, between asphalt and concrete, and B) Is that difference worth the risk?

I run on the road sometimes, when the sidewalk has a lot of curb cuts, and the cross slope changes frequently. I would just rather run on a flat surface. But still, I am REALLY cautious when I get in the street. This guy wasn't even wearing reflective stuff. I don't get it.

6:20 pm. At track. 75 deg., 74 % hum., 76 d.p. 2 up. 4 min. rest. 1600 @< 6:05. 3 min. rest. (2) x 800 @< 3:00, with 3 min. rest. (4) x 400 @< 1:30, with 3 min. rest. 1 down.

My sister in law is doing a 10k in Sarasota this Saturday. I may be racing, or pacing her, or cheering for her. I haven't made up my mind yet. We'll see how I feel after tomorrow morning's run.

1 up. Then, I was a pacer for my sister in law for a 10k. She got a 2+ minute PR! So she's pretty psyched. It was a 10k, then you could run a 5k. Most of the people were running the 5k only. Meanwhile, boy #2 scored a goal at soccer. Then we went to the beach, and my brother stepped on a tiny stingray. That jump of his was pretty funny. All in all, a good day.

But my Gators stink out loud.
