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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| I was prepared for the cold this morning. I was expecting 28 degrees but was pleasantly surprised with 30 degrees (those 2 degrees mean a lot at least psychologically). I dressed warm (long pants, two shirts, hat and gloves) and headed out expecting to feel cold. But it wasn't that bad. I left my neighborhood and ran onto 54 and then up the bike trail along Starkey Blvd. and then back home. Pace went from 8:50 at the beginning and gradually got faster. For the return trip, I decided to pick the pace instead of letting my body pick. It is interesting because I decided to try and get between 7:50 and 8:00 for the pace, which was just a little faster than what I had been running, but once I was trying to run a particular pace on purpose it felt much easier - even though the old pace and new pace were both in the "easy" range. For some reason the slightly faster but deliberately chosen pace felt easier, it could have been coincidence or it could have been something else, maybe I was feeling more in control. The other strange thing is that the new "easy" pace seemed to get faster on its own, so I just decided I'd go with whatever the pace came out to unless I went slower than 8:00. Then the run felt really easy and I was going at a faster pace. I felt great and hoped I could feel this good on all of my runs. Average pace: 7:53 (average pace for first 4 miles, about 8:30)
