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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

23.01 mi, 4:11:05, 10:55 avg
Ran at Croom, mainly on the "B" loop which is the course for the upcoming Croom Zoom race (25k, 50k, 100k, and new for this year 100 mile). It's basically a 10 mile loop. I will do the 50k, so three loops for me.
I had a half-baked idea to run 49 miles this morning in honor of my birthday yesterday but decided that since I hadn't run trails in so long and wanted to run this race decently I'd better not risk it.
Showed up about 7:00, hoping to see the race director who was attempting to run the full 100 miles by starting at 11:00 pm Friday and attempting to finish before evening tonight. I missed him by a little bit but there were two random guys getting ready to run 12 miles so I asked to join them. Clint and Larry. Larry was a big tri-guy who seemed to know everything about tri's and things like how many watts of power he expended at 18, 22, and 25 miles per hour. Clint was a recovering "meathead" from the gym who had just started running in the past year. So, run was certainly not boring and was great to have some people to run with although the solitude of the woods is sometimes nice.
We ran into another group who were also looking for Andy the RD. This group was several women and a guy named John who had run across the country a few years ago carrying a giant US Flag.
Said goodbye to Clint and Larry, and there was another guy who was going to run the 100K race. He had just finished one loop and wanted to do two more. So, headed out with him. He had to stop for a bit and I went ahead until getting back to the parking area. Contemplated about starting one more loop but legs were getting a little tired, so just finished up one more mile on the road and decided to call it a morning.
Was great to be back up on the trails and also my legs felt more trail ready this time than the last time I had come up after not having been here for a while which was when I did the Croom Zoom a year ago. So, definitely looking forward to it now.
Cool temps were very nice (about mid 40's)
