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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Ran in the neighborhood with Jamie, did t-shaped route and added on the c-shaped neighborhood.

As we were heading out saw Tom and Andy in the truck heading out to cross country practice.  Good to see Andy still running now that he has gradualted.  We will do the Father's Day race this Sunday in John Chestnut Park.

After the run, I walked the two dogs and then ran Stella for one mile at about an 8:30ish pace to burn off some energy.

It was a cool enough morning, the extra rain has been nice.

Also, today I made it over 1,000 miles for the year so far, on track to make 2,000+ miles for the year.
