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)

Venice Legacy Trail run to Venice Avenue. 1:44:01. 8:04 pace.

Weekend re-cap:

Got out of work @ 5:30 Wednesday. Ran 4.6 miles. Drove home, packed, and drove 4.5 hours to Jax. Arrived at 1:30.

Got up Thursday, Ran my 7.88 miles, then another 3.5 with Shannon. Played with 10 kids under the age of 13 until 2 pm. The kids ran races in the yard. Ate fantastic Thanksgiving Dinner. (This is where marrying into a southern family pays off!) Smoked Turkey, Fried Turkey, Sweet Potato Casserole, 5 pies, etc. Went to bed early.

Got up Friday, Ran my 7.88 miles, showered, then back in the car to Venice. I tried to sleep for a couple of hours. In to work at 8pm. Got out of work at 8 am. Drove to my parents' house and had bacon and eggs. Then I went home and slept for 5 hours.

I woke up for the Gator game kickoff, and went running for the first half. 12.9 miles. When the Gators play the Seminoles, it is the best time to run. There is NO traffic. Went home, showered, then dinner with the folks, watched my Gators win, tried to add some historic runs to the blog, failed, and went to bed.

Got up Sunday, did my honeydo's (christmas stuff out of the attic, etc.), went to church, came home and ran another 12.9. The wife and kids should be here @ 7 pm. I'm now attempting to enter in more old runs, and give the illusion that I have been cleaning.

It was a very busy, and very satisfying weekend. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

New record for this run!

Didn't run yesterday. My son had the pins removed from his finger from when he broke it, so I kind of needed to hang out with him last night. I'd like to say today's increase in pace is due to taking last night off from running, but it is more likely due to there are more runners and faster runners out on my course than I have seen before. Where did these guys come from? Anyway, I think they got ticked when I passed them! Ha! So then they ran past me up the bridge (I think) to prove a point. Whatever, I passed them again later. Yo pal, put a shirt on!

Isn't it amazing what can happen when you're racing people that don't know they are in a race?

p.s. I notice a lot of folks up north (Am I the southernmost blogger?) are putting up the temperatures in on their runs lately. 73 degrees. Brrrr!

RUNFAIL! Ran 10.38 miles down the Legacy Trail. Then Walk / Run for another 3.93 miles. Intended to go 20.75, but I ran out of gas. Sigh.
