* = These 5 races were run at 67.9 seconds per pound. If I want a PR, I need to weigh less than 170 pounds. 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)

Every now and then, I think about this dude running with a decomposing deer skull strapped to his back, and it cracks me up. That guy used to have the best daily running reports, full of pictures. It was like he was marketing trail running for a job.

| Hood route to legacy trail and back. Longest run since 11/24/23. 2 reasons for this:
1. Large equipment removing branches, and trail clearing right now. so doing laps on the trails is out today.
2. My company has offered to pay for my race entry to a local half or 5k around St. Patrick's Day. I have been bummed about running since my last race in April. But the possibility of the return of "Fatty McButterpants", and having my company pay for it, might be enough of a push to get me into a training mode for the next 2 months. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

| 2 on the trails. I'm very angry about something at work, and another thing at home, so I went for a run. Run cut short because of homeless lady yelled across pinebrook road for me to call 911. I don't run with a phone. Had to flag down a car from the backside of the full drainage ditch. after 10 cars ignored me, 2 old dudes in a mini van stopped. Explaining the situation to them, and watching them fumble through old guy vs. technology, was painful. As he's calling, a fleet of ambulances are in route to the retirement center just down the street, and he says that must be for her. No. No, No please keep dialing sir. please hit that last number. Then they didn't know what road they were on. So i have to scream across the drainage ditch at them, because they are hard of hearing, and now traffic is building up. Eventually, a police officer shows up, and asks her her age. She is my age. Crazy. I thought she was easily 15 years older than me. I ask the officer if he has the situation handled, and he says i can go. maybe a half hour of this nonsense. So in that last part running, I hear 2 fleets of ambulances coming from 2 different directions, and I'm getting angry about all of the money getting wasted here. And I'm thinking of having to run by this ridiculous situation on subsequent laps, so I pulled the plug on the run.
Long story short, the run didn't relieve me of my other troubles, it only added a new layer of anger.

| On the trails. Today is Pop's 83rd Birthday. We have dinner over there tonight. I remember when I was a kid, during the 1970's running boom, "helping" my dad lose weight by running with him along the Delaware Canal Towpath in Levittown. Man, he hated running, but it's better than being fat. I had a running outfit, that believe it or not, was like terry cloth, or a beach towel material. That's like the opposite of running clothes today. I should go back there and run that again. I'm sure it's better maintained than it was in the 70's.

I just noticed Adam RW left the blog about a month ago. It's not like we were tight, but we commented on each other's pages every now and then. There's 35 of us left here, every month, posting about running, and non-running things. I have no other social media. No facebook, no instachats, etc. Every now and then someone asks me when something occurred. And I think "oh that was after such and such race", and I go to the blog and I find the date. There's a lot of memories I have posted here over the last 12 years. I guess I have no real point to what I'm saying. Just kind of melancholy about it.

| I've been thinking about how when I started running, the Legacy Trail did not exist. And now, it has grown to where I haven't seen all of it. I have logged a lot of miles out there. And this guy made a long board video of the part that I ran most frequently:
https://youtu.be/Esca9JN8hIQ?si=-vSgGbitm-iU89Jd
He starts on East Venetian Waterway Park, across the intracoastal from Venice High School. And ends at the Laurel Road Bridge (Which I have always referred to as the SWOM - Stupid Waste Of Money bridge.) That's where I get on the trail. In between, he goes by the old train station (now a bus station), crosses Roberts Bay, and Dona Bay.
