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)

Almost 30 years ago, I drove a section of Center Road with some friends, doing about 80 mph, at night with my lights off, looking for the "Center Road Ghost." There was an urban legend in Venice. The story goes...Motorcycle rider...blah, blah, blah,.... Center road dead ends into River Road...words, words, words,....they never found his headlight, or his head-ooooh!.... If you drive on Center Road at night, his headlight will appear-Ooohhh! Soooo Creepy! So, in my youth, I have done this, on a few occasions. I have determined that the way the road used to be - headlights at a distance appear to be a single light, in really close proximity. It was just the way the old road reflected the light. Anyhow, I ran this section of Center Road this evening. And I didn't even think about the Center Road Ghost, until I was at River Road, and a motorcycle flew by.

The run was super hot, (feels like 96) but I feel like my injury is gone. I held 8:20 pace, pretty even, for the whole thing. I'm pleased with that. I am considering running a 5k on Mother's Day. I probably will.

3.5 miles. Hood Route. @ 8:05 pace. which is way way faster than I thought I was going.

I might not be entirely out of the woods with this hip thing. Best I can figure, it is directly related to soccer with the kids (@ 2 hours of it last night). I do a lot of stuff with my right foot, which means I pivot a lot on my left foot, causing a lot of twisting on my left hip.... It looks like I have to give up the soccer, which really stinks.
