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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Late run today. Watched the boys at cross country meet this morning which was in Starkey Park on the trails. Tough course with lots of sugary sand, roots, and a muddy section. Both boys did great. Andy got his second fastest time at 20:15 and Thomas shaved off 5 more seconds to get 21:35 (and was not on the verge of passing out like he was last time). Talking to one of their team mates afterward he said this year has a lot of potential because the hard courses are lined up early and then the next few weeks will be on faster courses which is opposite of last year when a lot of the kids were disappointed to see their times go down.
Anyway, after we got home I headed out for my run starting at about 12:30. Hoping to get at least 18 miles in (and some mental toughness training), I set out from my house with a 12 oz handheld bottle filled with gatorade, I ran down Trinity blvd on the grassy shoulder to East Lake Rd heading south, stopped at a 7-11 to buy some more gatorade, headed south a little over 3 more miles taking me into the lake park inside Lansbrook, then turned around and hit the 7-11 at the 13 mile mark. Still feeling pretty good I didn't run into issues until about mile 16 when there was no shade for protection (but at least the sun was at my back). Slowed down a little bit kept on moving forward and eventually made it home.
90 degrees from 12:30 to 3:50 pm, not ideal but made it somehow.
