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)

10.2 miles. Legacy Trail to Colonia and Back. 1:25:23. 8:22 pace. 8:00 am-ish start. 64 deg., 79% hum., 57 d.p. misty rain. I spent the last 3 miles of this run, and @ 20 minutes after the run, cheering and clapping for all of the REV3 cyclists. Part of my run overlapped the race course. That was kind of cool, although I found it difficult to run and yell and clap at the same time. Multi-tasking is not a strong suit today!

The kids did great in their first mini-tri yesterday. They had better weather to race in than the adults have today. I'm very proud of my boys.We learned that swimming in the Gulf is a lot different than swimming in the pool, and that there is a lot of contact betwen the swimmers in a race. Maybe we'll try this again next year.
