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)

I love living here. I love this time of year as the sun sets behind the muhly grass in the dunes with the purple plumes, that appear to be glowing. It's beautiful. I love the smell of walking through the sea grapes and the mangroves. I love that my kids see how awesome this place is. I love that we are all happiest while looking at a sunset, with our toes in the sand. This is home.

Also, I ran in 78 degree dew point this morning. Let's put that on the "con" side.

Virtual high fives to Rhett and Dan for breaking 100 miles last week! You guys are bananas.

7.5 miles. Hood route. 5:45 am start.

I said all of that stuff about Venice yesterday because the weather was so bad. Running in 78 d.p. (and again today) is awful. I don't want to complain about the weather all of tthe time. If I was reading that, I would think "why don't you just move? " So, I have to put up with a couple of miserable days of running with a snorkel. I feel like I get much more in return.

If you've never run in 78 degree dew point, you are really missing out.
