Short-Term Running Goals:
Sub 40:00 10K- 2:59 Marathon
- 1:25 Half Marathon
- 18:30 5K
Long-Term Running Goals: Maintain my health and continuously seek to improve my fitness. Maybe someday get under 3:00 for marathon. More importantly, I'd like to figure out what my maximum ability is and reach that.
I'd also like to find the right balance in life and use running to enhance and improve myself.
Personal: Dad of three (welcome Charlotte Dani on 8/10/20) awesome kids and stepdad to three almost as awesome as my own kids.
I have a brown dog named Stella, and three cats - Catty, Tortie, and Esperanza.
(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life started out rough but now has a better home.
I've recently started another blog so I can easily add lots of pictures and so other non-FRB users can leave comments:
Forward Progress!
Also, for 2012 I started a blog to write down each day one thing that I am grateful for
Grateful Blog
Love living in Florida but love to travel and see the country and rest of the world.

Longish run, ran from the Trinity Y, then over to Little Rd making my way toward the Starkey Gap Trail. Ran south until crossing Keystone then far enough out so I'd get 10 miles.
Saw Jenny on the way back, she beeped and waved as I was crossing Trinity and Little. She and Tom had run BDR 10K in Safety Harbor, they both did very well.

I think this was a slightly better run than my last two long run attempts. Attempt #1 was supposed to be 13 miles@8:30 pace - I cut short that run by almost 2 miles due to some big toe pain, had a couple stops and effort was more like a tempo run vs a slightly challenging long run. The "average" pace was 8:33, but if stops were counted, the average pace was really 9:16
Attempt number two was 15 miles which I did do, but at a slower pace of just over 9 minute miles average and there were a couple stops.
Today's run was straight through. Goal was time based, broken up into 4 parts - 5 minute warm up, 50 minute easyish (8:19-9:19), then another 30 minutes at about the same pace, then 5 minute cool down.
When I hit the 30 minute portion, was locked into an 8:20ish pace.
So, the average elapsed pace (which was the same as average moving pace because I didn't stop at all) was way faster than the last two attempts.
Route was up and down Starkey Blvd with an extra out and back on Rangeland Blvd.

| Progression run, 5 minutes warmup-easy, followed by 20 minutes of "regular" easy (8:19-9:19), then supposed to be 10 minutes @6:19-6:39.
For the 10 minutes fast part, legs just weren't turing over fast enough and the best I could do was 6:58 pace for that portion and really had to focus to at least get that.
