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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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.

Goal today was 13 miles @8:08, first mile 8:17, then wanted to run just a little faster to lock into 8:08 average. Ended up slightly faster although I did have a couple of stops, first one was trying to leave the neighborhood onto Alderman and a large herd of cyclists and a few cars made me wait. One other quick stop with about 3 miles to go and maybe another very brief stop trying to cross over Alt 19 which is usually not a problem.

Ran 1/4 mile, walked 1/4 mile inside the neighborhood as an easy run that didn't feel like I was forcing a slog. Enjoyable overall. Pretty chilly this morning (for Florida)

Ran 4 x 800m workout. Using "Run Less, Run Faster" as an outline but will do some more running than in the book, with non-workout days strictly in zone2 either by slower jogging or 1/4 on 1/4 off. Suggested paces are for a race target of 3:20. Going to try and hit the workouts hard and the easy/cross train days extra easy.
I had some luck preparing for Santa Rosa Marathon (3:38), but jumped into program about halfway and subbed out two of the long runs with some Ultra marathons or 32 miles and 28 miles.
Today's workout: 4 x 800 @ goal of 3:03 - ended up getting 3:02, 3:02, 2:56, 2:58
Strava says that 2:56 was my fastest 800m ever (been using Strava since 2018). It's interesting that I haven't done anything this fast since before Strava.

Goal was to run 5 miles at 7:38 pace. Actual paces were: 7:33, 7:27, 7:20, 7:28, 7:15
My initial thoughts were to do the first mile a little slower, maybe 7:45ish, then gradually ease the pace faster to end up with 7:38 average. But first mile I had that fear if I didn't lock in I'd go too slow and not catch up. Need to practice better control. In the past it would just happen naturally that I wouldn't/couldn't go very fast until after the first mile.
Saturday's run is supposed to be 15@8:23. It's pretty doable but requires focus especially to stay smooth and steady
