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)

11 miles, mostly on legacy trail with boy #2 on his bike. We started out @ 4:30 from Laurel road. We headed south over Dona Bay and Roberts Bay and the US 41 bridge. Then we did a quick u turn to go along side US 41 on to the island of Venice. Once on the island, we ran on the west side of the venetian waterway park, behind venice high school. Shortly after that we came up on the Lomas family, and said a few words. He's probably going to beat me by a lot next saturday. I started worrying if we could get back to the car by dark. So we went over the circus bridge to run on the east side of Venetian waterway park. We crossed all of the bridges for hatchet creek, US 41, roberts bay, and dona bay again. Great sunset over the bays.

Even though this was 11 miles, it felt like much more. He kept losing his chain, needed a drink, had to pee, etc. All of the stopping and starting gave me a beating. I'm glad we did it, but this was work. He is excitedly making plans for next sunday. I might do a small run sunday morning, then go for 10 with him in the afternoon.

7.5 miles. Hood route. 6 a.m. start. Very smooth.

6 pm. Track stuff. 2 up. 1600 in 6:02. 1600 in 6:17. 400 in 1:22, 400 in 1:22. 1 down.Goal was to be @ 1:35 on the first lap of the 1600s. First one was 1:27, second repeat was right on 1:35. This is going to be a slack week, mileage wise. But this 10k means something to me, so I'm not going to try to catch up miles between now and then. Picked up my bib today. They have discontinued the shark in sunglasses motif. Apparently that was a couple of years ago. They gave me a hard time because I didn't know.
