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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| In the morning I met Dixie at the usual spot, but we ran south instead of north. Looped down past the Y and over to the Lansbrook lake park then back to the starting point. I felt pretty good but my pace was a lot slower than it felt. At least I didn't feel slow! Average pace: 9:16 After I got home, did my upper body better than nothing workout along with a couple of leg exercises.
P.M. 3.5 miles on the treadmill at the Y on my way home from work. I listened to an audio book while running. Kept the pace pretty steady and it felt easy. Average pace: 8:30

| Ran with Jenny on her tempo run, serving as both running buddy and drink carrier. Said good bye after we did 8.5 together then I turned around to finish another 5.5 by myself. With two miles left I felt a little worn out. So, I stopped, chugged the remainder of the gatorade I was carrying and headed home. Felt much better after that brief stop. Also, ran into Joe G. (my Jacksonville and Boston running partner) and said hi briefly to him. Also saw Cherise, so it was a pretty social morning. The weather was wonderful, too, for which I am extremely grateful as I'm about to venture into the snowy midwest for a bit.

Short and easy run this morning, started out with Jenny and ran with her for 4.5 miles, then ran the last 1.5 miles by myself. It was warm and humid this morning, I'm in for a shock as a leave later today for Cedar Rapids, IA, where it's not going to get about 10ยบ!

| Ran on the hotel treadmill in Cedar Rapids, IA. Was supposed to do a total of 11 miles but decided to concentrate on getting the tempo portion done at least, and then whatever else I had time for. It felt hard and I felt like quitting after just a short time. But, you don't have to worry about concentrating on maintaining a pace, just on not falling off the back of the treadmill. After a 2 mile warm up, did 6 miles @ 6:43 average pace, then did a short cool down. Felt great to get this run completed! Average pace: 7:31

Today's run felt much easier than yesterday's run (apart from the obvious that it was shorter and slower - it just felt a lot easier). Zoned out on the hotel treadmill and put in some miles.
Average pace: 8:05

| So, last night my flight was delayed a bit, did not get home until 3:15,
slept about 4 and a half hours, dawdled a bit, and got going about
10:20, nice at first, with a breeze, then some rain fluctuating between
sprinkles and moderate. Went on a long and winding route and worked my
way back home, thought I was right at 20 miles, then looked at the
garmin and saw it was only 19 miles, close enough! Average pace: 8:01
