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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

FlexOne boot camp was all
cardio/body weight exercises tonight. Fast paced 5-4-3-2-1 workout
(repeated twice), followed by some yoga. 5 minute intervals were
running, which each ran just over 5 minutes to get in 3 loops, each
approx 1/4 mile. Sweating like crazy at the end. Fun and hard by Jenny , with Claude W. and Michelle right next to me.

On Tuesday, the Striders do "fun with Intervals". I didn't do the
intervals today so it was just fun. Mike is nursing an adductor or
something like that, and I'm looking for easy, so we went out and ran at
a reasonable pace. When we got to Hawbuck, decided to go straight for 5
miles, instead of turning right to get 6+ miles. I think this was the
first run ever where there was a fist bump at the end because we didn't
push the pace. Still, a good solid pace, just no fast intervals today. Still keeping an eye on my right leg/hip area. Tiny bit of discomfort when I start which goes away quickly once warmed up. Does not seem to show up in later miles either, although hard to tell today since it was just a short run.

Nice that it was back to a comfortable chill compared to yesterday.
Had to stop a few times to stretch, also spent a good amount of time
before the run warming up. Definitely in taper mode today. I did have some trouble getting myself going today. I got out of bed quickly, then out the door and seemed to take forever before I finally started to run.

Started out with Eudair, Nelson, and David. Dropped back for a bit, then ran with Eudair again after the water stop. The distance and time are somewhat approximate as I did not bring my garmin today. I had the urge to not run with it, not worry about turning it on and finding a signal. I just wanted to run. The hard part then was to know whether the people I was going with were going too fast or if I was being lazy. Anyway, worked out pretty good. I should do this more often when there is no specific pace goal and a close approximation for distance is good enough. Eudair says she is going to run the half marathon in Gainesville on Sunday, 2/19 - the day before my 100k. Since it is not that far from Florahome (where my race is), she and her husband might stop by to cheer me on a bit.

Forgot my music today - a fortunate mistake. Nice morning for a run without it.

First time in a while starting out
in Starkey park at 6:30. Ran with Eudair on the bike path out to the
power lines, then a few miles there before turning back. A little short
of scheduled 10 miles but close enough. Wore new shoes today which
I'll wear in next Saturday's race. Saw two deer and one boar - my first
one ever. I've been with people who have seen them and I've heard them
but this was the first one I saw, it was running pretty quickly across
the power line road. Starting to get that tapered feeling. I'm not sure how much I need a taper but I'll find out.
