Short-Term Running Goals:
Sub 40:00 10K- 2:59 Marathon
- 1:25 Half Marathon

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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| Today's run was great. I loved it. I was supposed to meet a bunch of people at Starkey park to run on the bike trail there. Some of the people were there, but some had gotten there earlier for their run. I didn't get the memo. The weather.com desktop said that it was 51° outside but it felt cooler. My truck said it was 45 out when I got in but as I drove to the park it dropped to 39°. I was a little worried because I had on only one long sleeve shirt and shorts, but at least I had my hat. I started running with Kevin, Nelson, David, and Jenny. I felt so cold at first. Jenny was dressed much smarter than I was, she discarded one of her layers after about a mile, a gray sweatshirt which I was eying, but I resisted saying anything as I don't know her that well. We kept on going and I slowly felt less cold. David and Jenny turned around at 3.5 to head back. At about 4 miles we saw Keith and Dixie on the way back from 10 miles. At 5 miles, Kevin and Nelson turned around to head back. Shortly after that I saw Bob coming back from doing 19 miles, I turned around for a bit and ran with him to chat. He is training for the Boston marathon. He has entered through a charity - a cancer research center. So, he doesn't have to train and get a certain time, but he is training as if he did. At this rate I think he'll be able to qualify for next year's Boston marathon while running there this year! I turned around and continued out to turn around just after 6 miles. Now I felt warmed up and the cold air felt good. I picked up the pace a little here and there and was alternating faster miles with not so fast miles. I got to the last mile and felt like picking it up. I wanted to run to where it felt like about a 7:00 pace or just faster. But then, the "Popcorn" song came on which made me run faster. I looked at my pace, it was 6:23. I cooled down for the remainder to get back to the parking lot and enjoyed some coffee and half a dunkin donuts muffin. Average pace: 8:16
