* = These 5 races were run at 67.9 seconds per pound. If I want a PR, I need to weigh less than 170 pounds.

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)

6:15 pm. On the track, in the dark, in the rain, with a tornado warning... Why did I think this would go well? 2 up. 1 mile @ 6:12. 2 down. Honestly, there was a cool reflective light on the track, almost as if the clouds were glowing. It was kind of neat. I signed up for a 10k today. I hope to use it as a tune-up for the marathon in January.

5.8 Miles. Ringling Bridge. 43:34. 7:31 pace. 5:20 pm start. 60 deg. 73% hum. 52 D.P. 15-20 mph winds out of the north + chop on the bay waters = Salty spray over the seawall + ringing right ear!

I'll be in Fruit Cove tomorrow, watching my sister in law finish her first half marathon, and then getting some deep fried turkey! I talked her into running that St. Patty's Day 8k with me only 8 months ago, and now look at her! Go Shannon! Happy Thanksgiving, all!

7.85 miles in Fruit Cove, Fl. Began run 2 hours AFTER dinner. 4:30 pm start. 1:00:11. 7:40 pace. 56 Deg., 53 hum., 37 d.p. The food was fantastic. I forgot how awesome the sweet potato casserole is. Wow.

I was still on the drive up here when Shannon finished her race. Her goal was below 2:30. She got 2:10:58, I think. So she is pretty excited.
