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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| This morning's run was not the best run ever. At one point it almost seemed like it was going to be a disaster, but fortunately it ended up as a run that was not that bad. My upper back had a small knot in it which partially restricted my breathing. I'm not sure where the knot came from. Temp was 80° with about 75% humidity. At first it did not feel too bad. I warmed up a little bit inside at first then started my run. Did 2 miles at a slow pace (9:15ish) - (my ankles felt tight, not painful, just tight) then picked up a little bit for 0.5 miles, then planned on doing 3 X 1 mile repeats at 6:32 pace. I held the pace at first but then had trouble holding on. It was slipping away from me and I slowed down to 6:50 at one point, got a little back towards the end and finished with 6:46 but it took a lot out of me. At that point I really felt like scrapping the whole run or at least heading back inside and finishing on the treadmill. However, after I slowed down a bit I kept on going and bargained with myself to at least do 7 miles. Things got a little bit better although I did take a couple short walk breaks. When I got to 7 miles I went past the parking lot by 0.5 miles, turned around and came back to finish 8 miles. At the end of my run all of my minor aches and tight muscles had gotten worked out. I didn't make my goals for mile intervals but at least I put in the miles. Sometimes, the first mile can be difficult, then the other ones get better, so I wondered if I had at least tried the second mile repeat what would have happened.
Average pace: 8:23
