* = 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)

5 on the trails. 10:30 am start. ugly as it gets. but I'm happy that I could fight my way to 5. I ran longer than usual yesterday, then went to the beach with the kids and played volleyball for an hour and a half. You know what's not good for the olds? Repeatedly diving in sand for an hour and a half. Then spouse and I went out on a sunset cruise out of marina jack's with an old friend.

3.5 dizzy miles. hood route. then 3 clear headed but slow miles on the trails.

I had Anna Begins by Counting Crows stuck in my head. If you are a dude that was in love in the 90's, you probably thought this song had some relevence to your feelings back then.

10.2 miles. Hood route to legacy trail to colonia and back. 7:15 am start. got some misty rain in there. it was a smooth run. Nothing fancy, like maybe 9-9:30 pace.

Now, I'm off to play golf with my brother and my uncle. First time in a while. I'm going to be great. 

edit - I chipped in for birdie on a par 4. First time for that!

4 on the trails. Happy Thanksgiving!

For the last 26-ish years (with the exception of the year we spent Thanksgiving at the grand canyon) we have been going to Fruit Cove for Thanksgiving weekend. My Mother in Law sold her place this year, and moved down to Venice. So for this reason and others, this year's Thanksgiving feels a bit 'off'. I am going to miss that place a lot this weekend, but I'm also looking forward to establishing a new routine. Spouse is preparing the bird for the first time ever!
