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)

3.5 miles. Hood route then around the block laps with Johnny. He intentionally tripped and fell on asphalt, so that I would stop and check on him, so he could take off and sprint to the finish. It's hard to explain the competitiveness of this kid, but throwing yourself down on asphalt to beat your injured father in a meaningless run that no one is timing or watching is pretty crazy. I don't know how to fix that kind of crazy.

Tommy's soccer team won the championship game 8-0. And it wasn't that close.

Back is much improved. Not perfect. Just better.

It is still 75 degrees outside. And quite humid.

3.5 miles in much cooler weather this morning. I saw people in jackets. I played a bunch of basketball and soccer last night. I've been off the pain meds for @ 2 days. So, I reckon I'm cured from the back stuff and should start ramping up the running again. 

Here we go. 

Pm. 3.5 miles. Much like this morning.
