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)

5.2 Miles. Ringling Bridge. 38:45. 7:27 pace. 5:30 pm start. 76 deg. 56% hum. 59 D.P. The right shoulder thing has mostly gone away. I blame the car for that one. Crazy? For 13 years, I drove a car that had a certain height of center arm rest. Now that height is different. That's my theory. The left groin thing - I looked into this on the interwebs. It could be a hip flexor injury. I don't know. I had to go slow for the first half mile, then everything was fine. It hurts to walk and sit, but not to run. Go figure. I just have to chill out for a while, and let IJR rack up the miles on me, I guess.

I'll be running this Friday with Tommy in his first 5k.

Running in Venice? With smoke effects and glow sticks? Next to the beach? With a movie afterwards? Come On! WHAT MORE COULD AN EIGHT YEAR OLD WANT?! This is gonna be great!

....I might be a little too excited about this.

Rev3 Glow Run 5k. Tommy's first race. 1 mile up. 5k in 28:46. 9:16 pace.

The course was more like an adventure run, than it was a true road race. .We ran on asphalt, concrete, grass, the beach (for about 3/4 mile), gravel, up and down wood stairs on the dune crossover, and finshed on carpet. At one point, as we were running through the dunes, dodging the plantings, in the dark, I thought "How is this legal? There are signs everywhere telling you to keep off the dunes, and we're running through it? Okayyy?" The course length is unofficial. The time is unofficail. But the whole thing was a lot of fun. We started near the front, and were about 5th and 6th @ a mile into the race. We hit the beach @ mile 2, Running in the soft sand wrecked our pace, and I was really happy to get back on pavement. While on the beach, we saw a great sunset afterglow over the Gulf (Tommy says this was his favorite part.) Once we heard the music coming from the finish line, Tommy really pushed it through the smoke effects and black lights. I'm guessing we were in the top 25, out of 200, or so. Then we ate hot dogs, and watched Monsters University outside. I'm really impressed with these Rev3 folks. They really cater to families. I think this was a great first race experience for Tommy.

And now I am really curious what the kid could do on a flat, paved track. Hmmm.
