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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

First run of New Year for me.

Back-filling in entries so not too much to say.  Leaving for a six day cruise this afternoon.  Planning on trying to get a few treadmill runs in on the ship.

Hoping to get 4, made it farther, sunny but rocky day. Key West port visit canceled :-(

Looks like it was too rough to safely dock the ship.

Running on a treadmill on a rocking and rolling ship was interesting.

Later in the day, around dinner time the waves finally got to me, had to skip the main course and go lay down.  Two of the family did not make it out of the room for dinner, but the youngest one had no problem at all, and he was the one most worried about the cruise.

Treadmill run on the ship. Woke up early so I got a little extra in before starting the day.

We have an excursion into Cozumel but not until afternoon.

Another treadmill run on the ship. Got in three runs for the week, better than expected.  Went a little bit faster today.

Haven't had a significant cut back week in a while, so I was probably due for one.  I also learned last year how counterproductive it can be to try and cram in a full schedule of running while on vacation.

I thought I had woken up extra early, but not really since the clocks changed from Central back to Eastern.

Week from today will be my first 50K trail race.  I plan on running at a faster pace than I ran on the training run but not all out since I don't want a big long recovery time, since the 100K will only be a month away.
