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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| I went to the Y this morning even though I was only doing 5 miles, it was a little bit cold outside and I wanted to get some good warm up and stretching before the run. I felt a little bit tight but loosened up after a bit. Average pace: 8:10 Cutting back a bit on miles this week and next, but one more kind of hard run on Wednesday (5 @ 6:29 plus warm up and cool down), the pace is going to be hard but 5 miles is more manageable than 7 or 8.

| I had to catch a flight this morning, so I woke up a bit earlier than usual (5:00). Fortunately I was only running 5 miles, otherwise I would have needed to get up earlier. I didn't feel much like running, cold and windy and I had a long day ahead of me. However, as usual, and fortunately I was glad that I did the job and got the run done. Average pace: 8:30

| For the first time in a few tries now, I made all my splits under my goal time for a tempo run. Goal was 5 @ 6:29 Warmed up with 2 easy miles to get to Starkey Blvd. A little bit of wind, but less than last time, temp somewhere in the low 40's. Got going on the tempo portion, determined to give it my all and hoping to get the job done.
Splits were: 6:21, 6:24, 6:29, 6:26, 6:26 Hopefully this means I'm ready now. I was a bit worried about this one. Under 6:30 seems daunting. Also, I had a full day of travel yesterday, up and back to Atlanta in the same day where I was able to see a few snow flakes falling.
P.M. - did the Inflict workout that I should have done on Tuesday.

| I ran with Jenny this morning. She had to do 6 X 800 @ 7:00 pace. I figured this would be good for me to practice the 7:00 pace along with her. Run went well. As usual she made all of her times (and slightly faster on each repeat). I tried to practice running smooth and relaxed while doing the pace. Not sure how well I did with that but, not bad I suppose. Temperatures continue to be below normal but maybe I'm getting used to it now. My right quad was a bit sore later in the morning but improved throughout the day. Need to remind myself to be more careful on the day after a speed or tempo run. I don't think I messed anything up this time.

| Just 5 miles by myself this morning. It was a similar run to Tuesday but felt much better. I felt consistent and mostly relaxed throughout the run. Average pace: 7:55
I finished my run pretty early which was nice. Needed to get home and wrap presents for Jenny's birthday today. Happy Birthday Jenny!

| Great morning run with perfect running temps (right at 50 degrees). There was a surprise visit from my running buddy Dixie who I haven't seen in months now. A nice sized group of us started out together and ran out to 5 miles. We turned around and then ran into David, Keisha, and Dougie. It was great running with a bunch of people who I don't always get to see. Also ran with Raj. We were all together up until two miles left, when I picked it up a bit. Average pace: 7:50
It was nice to be done early enough that everyone wasn't packing up and leaving already when I was at the social hour. I think I'm feeling ready now. Probably as physically prepared as I am going to be, just need to prepare mentally some more!
