* = 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)

5.7 miles on Legacy trail. 9 am start. Venice Ave. to Laurel Road over the SWOM Bridge and back.

I took the day off work, because today Spouse and I are married 25 years. I was planning on writing this big thing about how much she means to me, and how much I love her. But that is all pretty much covered in the "married 25 years" thing. She's awesome. There have been several versions of her through the years, as we all change, and go through different phases, and pursue different interests. I have been in love with every new phase of her. And I can’t wait to see what’s coming up next.

10.45 miles. 6 am start. Hood route to legacy trail over the SWOM bridge, and return to colonia. Then return trip, minus the bridge. Weather was not as bad as I thought it would be.

5.5 miles. Hood route. 7 am start. Still great running weather. Song in my head: Billy Joel - Scenes from an Italian restaurant.

5:30 PM: 6 miles on Legacy Trail. They have these mile markers on the trail that makes it easy to do the math. So tonight I ran 3 miles north and 3 miles back. It's the best part of legacy trail, in my opinion. I crossed Shackett Creek bridge, US41 bridge, Roberts Bay bridge, Dona Bay bridge, and the SWOM bridge on the way out, and again, on the way back. Add to that the whistling of the wind through the Australian Pines, and it is stellar. Just one man's opinion.
