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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Out and back trail run in Starkey Park, keeping it easy and getting in some trail miles.
Felt pretty good and it reminded me I should be on these trails a lot more, very quiet and peaceful.
One week from today attempt at redeeming myself at the Rocky Raccoon 100. This will be a harder course than Longhaul but I think I can do it. But really the main goal is to go back out after 3 loops when it will be dark and later and just be mentally prepared that I'm going to be moving all night. And if I make it to the start of loop 5 before the cutoff I should be able to bring it home.
Two cutoffs similar to Long Haul - 32 hour cut off to finish and get the belt buckle and 30 hours to finish and count as Western States 100 lottery qualifier. Georgia Death Race at end of March is also a qualifier but there is less certainty there. For that 74 mile race it is 25 hours to finish and 23 hours to qualify. In 2016 I did it in 23:09 but that year course was 72 miles, and qualifying time was 21 hours.
So, if I can get sub 30 at Rocky Raccoon then pressure will be off at GDR. Rocky will give me some hill practice too, some consider Rocky to be "flat", will be about 5500 feet of climbing, so I guess it is one of the flatter 100's out there.
