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)

My 3rd year runing at this event. 79 Degrees, 63% Hum. 66 d.p. For the second straight year, the timing of the race was incorrect. This year, it was off by 22 seconds, or so. The timing folks are aware of the error. I really like the course, the food after, the time of year, the charity, but this timing issue has got to go. Anyway, I went into the race with low expectations, because I still have a bit of a cough.Warm-up went fine, with little coughing. The race started, and I went out at a comfortable pace. I held the pace great, unil 2.5 miles. then the coughing fit hit. Then my pace was altered from that point on. I was really holding on at the end. Official race results will be here http://www.harvesthustle5k.com/ eventually.

I think I might have a sub-19 5k in me someday, if I can just not get sick, or have my toes crushed (like last year). Congrats to my friend Brian, for running his first 5k today.

Then I went to the kids' baseball game, Then there was a kids birthday party at the YMCA pool. I'm beat.

(Edit) The official timing is out here: http://www.suncoaststriders.com/results/20131123_harvesthustle5k.htm my time was not 19:18, it was 19:19.5.
