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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Two part run.  1st part was just after 6:00, out and back from the house to Trinity Blvd.  Then came home, went out and brought some breakfast back for the boys, ate, then headed back out for another 6 miles on a clear beautiful day, still low 50's.

"Easy" feeling 10 miles and a great way to start a Monday.  Next two days will most likely be on the treadmill.

Hotel treadmill, Albuquerque.

I was supposed to do this run this morning, but fortunately I was stuck in Houston after a missed connection, only 2 1/2 hours of sleep, almost not worth it to go to the hotel but it was paid by the airline so might as well.  Eventually made the meeting, although two hours late.  After checking in, went straight to the treadmill to avoid 0 miles for the day. 

Feel better now!

Hotel treadmill in ABQ again.  Slogged through 5 miles.  Blaming it on the altitude, but probably more to do with the travel schedule lack of sleep, and drinks I had last night.  Beautiful morning here.

Two part run, 6.36 miles, then dropped Tom's paper off at bus stop, then another 1.81 miles. Breezy and warm.

Goal was to get at least 8 miles in each day this week, that didn't quite happen but at least made it today, and started out the week good.

First run on Starkey trails in a while. Started a little bit late but there was a nice cloud cover and reasonable temps. First couple miles were slow then I was able to get into a good pace. Glad to see I still have some trail legs.

Started out by horse corral, ran on orange trail to the power lines, headed north with quick stop at water stop on bike path, then continued up the power line trail for a while before turning back and taking the same route.  Saw several sets of pigs, kept a wary eye for their parents but didn't see them.
