* = 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, 17, and 19.

I started running because someone dared me to.

I ran my first race 3 days after my 40th birthday. (Disney)

I've been following this since February. Amazing story.

Brilliant training. Lots of doubles. All (relatively) short, fast runs. Very specific.

7.85 Fruit Cove miles. In the rain. First half hour in the dark. 1:10:47. 9:01 pace. Thanksgiving is a marathon, not a sprint. I've got to pace myself if I want to still be in it for the pies at the finish.

7.85 miles. Fruit cove run. Cooler this morning. Steam coming up from the rivers and lakes. 1:10:12. 8:56 pace.

Yesterday, after running, I got to spend some time canoeing solo in Cunningham Creek. Very peaceful.

The whole thanksgiving crowd drove to st. Augustine last night and did the light tour. It was really great.

So now, spouse and her mom are on their way to the FSU-UF game, I sent the boys out to explore the creek in the canoe. I'll bet the boys come back with better tales.
