* = 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 am. 1.5 miles. Just didn't have it.

I went to Fit2Run at lunch. Some folks in my office want to put on a fundraiser 5k, and asked me to help. It is early in the process, still. But putting on a race is more challenging than I thought. Also, why did they ask me? It would be like saying "Tom, you go to a lot of concerts. Do you think you can set one up?"

Then I found out that my division 1 college football coach has a better finishing time at Boston than your division 1 college football coach. I don't know if rhat translates into wins or points, but I sure think it's cool.

Then, after work, I had planned on running one of the courses we are looking at for the race. But the park was closed. They are storing the trucks there that are picking up Irma's mess.... still. So I ran around Benderson instead. 3.5 miles. 80 degrees at the start. There were a few rowers in the lake at the start. Sunset. Very cool.

7.5 miles. Hood route to Legacy Trail and Back. 5:50 am start. 1:05:19. 8:43 pace. The run felt really smooth. It could be because I did not play soccer last night. But, I'm not ready to draw that stright line of a conclusion, yet. Also, the snowbirds are back. I don't think I've ever had to stop this many times for traffic.

.4 around the block then 12.9 miles in 1:53:59. 8:50 pace. Hood route to Legacy Trail to Venice Avenue and back. Super hot and humid. No breeze. Strong incoming tide at the bays. Like, the channel markers were throwing a wake.
