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)

3.5 miles. hood route. solo. Then, much later, a fairly intense game of 3 on 3 basket ball with boy #2 and a couple of kids from venice high football team. Well, it was intense for me. To put it in perspective, after the game, everyone shook my hand and called me "sir". Politeness never hurt so much. Meh, I gave it my best.

10.2 miles. hood route to legacy trail to colonia and back. 6:30 am start. About 50 degrees-ish. I'm still a bit stiff from Basketball yesterday, so I was moving slow but steady. I've got soccer today and tomorrow with boy #1.

Merry Christmas, party people. I'm giving all of you this very cool internet high five.

I know, I overdo it every year.

Well, it was a great Christmas, but I have some good news / bad news.

Bad news. I got a cold and I'm not able to run today. It's going to be really tough to get to 2,000 miles for the year.

Good news. We set our travel Arrangements today for the kids first snowboard trip. We will be in the Salt Lake City area for St Patrick's Day week in 2019. I hope to meet at least a couple people from this blog that I have come to know throughout the last few years. This also means there will be no return to the local St. Paddy`s Day race for Fatty McButterpants, Paddy O'Furniture, or 'Lil' Pat O'Butter. Bummer.

Bad news. The weekend of the Goofy Challenge in Orlando, where Michael is running, is the same weekend that we have two away soccer games in Fort Myers. I am not going to be able to be in Orlando that weekend. If you make it over to Tampa the following Monday or Tuesday I will see what I can do. I am optimistic that we can still make plans to get together while you are down here.

7.75 miles. Hood route to Legacy Trail and over SWOM bridge and back. 76 degrees 92 % humidity. 72 dew point. This is crazy. We have a high of 85 today. I had sweat flying off my fingertips so bad that I started questioning my arm motion. If this happened on August 28th, I would not be surprised at all. But December 28th? Bananas! Add to that - I am still a bit sick and spitting like I get paid by the loogie. This was no joy ride.

Speaking of joy ride - We plan on taking our boys and a couple of extra kids on a bike ride down Gasparilla Island to Boca Grande later. It should be a hoot. We might not swim when we get to the south end. Water temps are @ 64 degrees. That is a bit too cold for me!
