* = 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)

7 pm. 10 miles with Tommy on the Legacy Trail. We saw the same snake we saw on Thursday last week, which we named Chip. Everybody likes Chip, even though he is a low down snake in the grass. Then we saw a new snake that Tommy named Slim Jim. Some folks fishing off the Hatchet Creek bridge caught a very small Snook when we passed. Anyhow, since I'm out of town next weekend, and this week is loaded with football training and whatnot, this is the end of the month for the boys logging miles on the trail. Johnny finished with 39.6. Tommy had 45.5.

6 am: 1.5 miles. late start, didn't feel great, blah, blah, blah...

6 pm: Celery Mound. 1.5 up. 10 x 0.1 mile hill sprints, jog down. 1.5 down. NO BUGS! It was still hotter than all get out, but no bugs - I can live with that. Also, the grass was not cut on the levee warm up / cool down runs, so I had to get my feet much higher than normal. If the point of the exercise is to promote higher knee action / lengthen stride, than I think this was a good workout. I have no idea what I'm going to be able to do Tuesday. I'm betting I'll be sore.

Took yesterday off. I was losing focus on my racing goals, and instead focusing on a streak. So, I broke the streak.

5:30 am: 7.5 miles. hood route. My legs appreciated the day off. Springy.

6:30 pm: 10.2 miles. Hood route to Legacy to Colonia and back. Not so springy. No life-saving breeze on the way home.
