* = 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)

7.75 miles. Hood route to the legacy trail over the SWOM bridge and back. 8 am start. It's just like summer out there.

A half hour later, 4 on the trails with Tommy, with a fast finish.

A half hour after that, 1.25 hours basketball with Johnny. Weather for basketball: 81 degrees, 76 % hum., 71 d.p. Like I said, summer.

7.5 Miles. Hood Route to Legacy Trail and back. 5:45 am start. great weather, decent running this morning. 

While I was out of town for Thanksgiving, I turned off my alarm. I thought I had forgotten to turn it back on and then over slept Monday. Not the case. When I overslept Tuesday's run, I was kind of ticked that I missed two days of good weather running for no good reason. So last night I focused on what was wrong with the alarm. Somehow I had inadvertantly unchecked the box that says "alarm in silent mode." Which means that whatever the volume of my phone ringer is, that will bethe volume of my alarm. Since I live with my phone on vibrate, there was no alarm. I checked the box, and we're back in business today. I wish I had a better story for missing running the last 2 days. 

In other news, I waited until Cyber Monday to officially sign up for the Publix Fort Lauderdale Half. I had an Active.com 25% off discount code. There was no discount, and Active.com is the biggest scam ever. To sign up for most races, you need them. They default you to signing up for their membership on every page, which you have to be looking for to get out of. Then if you accidentally miss one, 30 days after you sign up for your race, they surprise extract $100 from your account (This would be after your 30 day "trial membership" that you unknowingly signed up for.) These people should be sued.

Beaten first, then sued.
