* = 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 18.
I started running because someone dared me to.
I ran my first race 3 days after my 40th birthday. (Disney)

There was a rainbow to the west, as I crossed Roberts Bay that was perfectly reflected in the still bay waters. I actually yelled out loud for that one. Crazy.

| 5:45 am: 1.5 mile Runfail. I didn't have it. legs too beat up from yesterday/ brown rice, chicken, sausage pig out at midnight / back chaffing from camelpak - take your pick.
3 pm. 3 miles to the track with 2 boys on bikes. 2 miles on track. 4 miles to pool. 0.5 miles home. 85 deg. 75% hum. 73 d.p. totaly different dynamic than last weeks' run with only 1 kid on a bike on a trail. this week we had to watch for traffic, i had to speed up to catch the one kid, slow down for the other kid, etc. It was still an enjoyable experience, and (I think) a good workout (lots of speed variation), that can be improved upon. I must have worked out the kinks from yesterday's stuff with this morning's little runfail, because this all felt great. Boy # 1 did 3 laps on the track with me. He really wants to do that 5k, and I think i found a good one for him in mid-november. Also, today was his first time serving as an acolyte at church. big day for Tommy. I got pretty choked up.

| 5:15 am. Legacy trail. Intended to do more, but @ 6.75 miles the mouthpiece of the Camlebak just popped off, draining water on me. Weird. I looked for it in the dark for @ 15 minutes. To stop the water from running out, I drank too much of it. So, I ran back home with the hiccups. No fun. When I got home, Tommy was ready to run with me, so we did 0.9 miles together. I'm going to try to get a couple of more miles this afternoon.
4:30 pm run: Hood route. 7.5 miles. 58:21. 7:47 pace. 82 deg. 58% hum. 66 d.p. This is about as far as I want to go without water, I think.

Johnny was pacing me again on his bike. Things were going great until.... he wrecked pretty bad going down hill on the 41 overpass. We kind of limped it in the last 2 miles. He's okay. He was wrestling his brother as soon as we got home.

| Life got in the way of running today. My car of 13 years / 277,000+ miles, finally quit today. I lost the whole day dealing with that. I might have to lose Tuesday to burying my old car, as well.

| 5.2 Miles. Ringling Bridge. 38:48. 7:28 pace. 5:30 pm start. 83 deg. 69% hum. 72 D.P. I had to run through a 10' stretch of rotting bait fish. First time for that one. I guess someone did well with the cast net, and then forgot to put the baits in a bucket.
I had to go to the Dr. this morning. Spouse printed out a list of Dr.s I could go see, and I picked the one who's name I saw on the Boston Marathon entry list. Is that wrong?
