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)

4.6 Miles. 33:41. 7:19 Pace.

course{Ringling Bridge Short Run}

About a mile into it, I realized I was pulling up my toes on my left foot, kind of in a self defense mode for the injured toe. I didn't even know i was doing it. Once I figured it out, the on-coming shin tenseness went away. Weird. Slight breeze out of the east, making the return trip a little tougher than the way out. 

I am going to have to find a way to build up miles in the upcoming weeks. It was a tentative goal of mine to break 2,000 miles this year. It's going to be real close, but I'm going to have to work at it. I am about 300 miles away from it. 4.6 per day ain't gonna get it done.

Over that bridge 4 times today. A little windy, but it felt great. 

Today's run got me thinking. I  usually do runs (not races) of distances greater than 6 or 7 miles with a Camelbak. The idea is that it is just a training run, and I'd rather have water and not need it than need water and not have it. I was surprised with additional time to run today, so I used that time for additional miles. I didn't have my Camelbak, so I had to stash water behind a bush at halfway. Long story short...I'd rather have the Camelbak. Anyhow, I was just wondering what the popular view is on this around here. Do you go out prior to your run, and strategically place water, or do you prefer a means of taking your water with you?
