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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Part 2 of first attempt at back to back long runs. I was a little on the fence about running today but thought I should take the opportunity.

Went to Diane's house at 6:30 and ran with Craig, Diane, and Rene.

Chilly low 40's which felt great once warmed up. I wasn't sure how well I'd do but ended up feeling great by the end of the run. Saw another big group of Striders out as well. Lucky to have so many running friends. Sat for a bit enjoying some coffee and talking about running and stuff after the run.

Ran at the Y but did not do intervals. I took it easy for the first few miles, then was in the 7:30's for the second half. Caught up with Beka at the end and did a cool down mile with her.

A bit slower today, but at least it felt like an easy run (much better than being slow and not easy). Back to warmer, overdressed with long sleeve shirt, but otherwise a good run

Ran at Longleaf with the group.

No tempo run today, easy running for the most part for the first half of the run. Ran into Scott just as I was turning back, ran with him and picked things up for the last few miles. I forgot my light this morning so kept on getting blinded by oncoming cars. Other than that, great run.

Good.

I made a quick note of this run right after I ran it and was out of things to say, so it was just one word, but I seem to remember pretty accurate.  Weather, pace, feeling, and distance.

Ran with a nice size group from Longleaf to Diane's house where most people turned back, ran with Craig and Diane into the park. I turned back at just over 9 miles and ran back to Longleaf by myself. I was a little bit tired on the run and had thought about turning back early but was glad I stuck with it.
