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)

70 deg. 90% hum. 67 d.p. but it felt warmer than that. Even by my standards, this weather is crazy. Still have to run the AC and the irrigation.

5:30 am start. 2 laps around the block, then home, then the usual 5.5 mile hood route.

3:30 pm start. 80 something degrees.I had to do a site visit for work. I decided to do it running. Something about running on the clock for work is cool. Anyhow, the site is a section of roadway a little more than a mile long. I was taking pictures. So i would run @ 60 paces, stop, take pictures, run @ 60 paces, etc. Down one side and back on the other. Running in a FDOT approved construction vest must have looked great. Finished that.

Drove to the track.2 up, (12) x 100 m, with jog back. 1.5 down. There was a guy on the track who will be running a 100 mile trail run in 10 days. I talked with him for a while. Not for me, man, not for me.

11:00 am at the track. I really wanted to run today, and this is when I had the time to go. I took boy #2. He wanted to try out his new christmas shoes. 86 deg., 64% hum. (that seems low), 72 d.p. Shirtless, and now sunburned. 2 up. (12) x 100 M sprints, jog back. 0.5 down. 

We met a guy out there that was running short sprints. He says he ran competatively indoors in europe last year. Johnny started asking him questions, and he was pretty cool about it. He even let Johnny run out of his starting blocks a couple of times. The guy told Johnny that he was really fast. I can't tell if this guy was being genuine, or if he was trying to get me to enroll my kid in some sort of coaching thing.
