Short-Term Running Goals:

2023 GOALS:

Coastal Delaware Running Festival Marathon - 4/16/23 - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

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)

16.25 miles. Hood route to Legacy trail to Circus Bridge and back. 68 deg., 90% hum., 63 d.p. 2:10:54 (8:03 pace). 1st 2 miles in 15:16. (7:38 pace). Last 2 miles in 15:34 (7:47 pace). 1st half in 1:04:30 (7:56 pace). 2nd half in 1:06:24 (8:10 pace).

Beautiful morning. I started later than usual (7:30ish). As I was headed south, and I crossed the bays, the angle of the sun reflected off the water through the pickets of the railing, and it created this strange strobe light effect. I had to run those bridges with my left eye closed.

Shirtless. Camelbak. Longest run since Savannah. Sweat dripping off the end of the visor. Awesome.
