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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Ran 5.5 miles by myself, with last half mile at 7:17 pace (I had been slowly picking it up each mile before then). Stopped back home, walked Stell a little bit, then we did the neighborhood loop (1.7 miles) at about an 8:20 average, one of our faster runs - she's been getting better at looking at me for cues so I don't have try as much to keep her on track in the right direction.

So, last Tuesday's intervals were a partial failure but must have done some good. Today I wanted to try 5x1km at 20:00 5k pace, so 4:00 per 1km
Got: 3:58, 3:53, 3:50, 3:55, 3:51
Success this time around! Easier mile, followed by 7:31 for last mile, post easy. I had one of those feelings when I first got out of bed this morning that I could do it today.

Ran with Joe and Jamie in the neighborhood for a little bit over 6 miles. Stopped back at my house, then ran Stella for a little bit over a mile (maybe 1.2 miles).
This is about my third week of doing the three times per week "better than nothing" strength routine which is centered around 3 sets of 25 push-ups along with 3 sets of 8 pull-ups, along with various other things thrown in. As part of the last set of pull-ups, I will often try to do more if I feel up to it. Today I did 15 pull-ups for the last set which is the most I've done for at least 2 or 3 years. Good to see little bits of progress.

Original plan was for a 6 mile tempo run, sub-7:00 pace, hopefully 6:52 or faster. It was raining when I woke up so took a little bit extra time and started about 5:45 instead of 5:30 by which time the rain was almost completely stopped and this would also be a little less time running in the dark.
Warmed up about 1.7 miles, then picked up the pace. For a short time was under 7:00 but when I wasn't watching it my pace kept on slipping. Thought about scrapping it, then decided to switch it to 3 x 2 mile repeats. I did get a little faster on each set. Glad I didn't quit completely. I should have gotten more sleep the night before!
Repeat sets:
- 7:27, 7:01
- 6:54, 6:54
- 6:40, 6:33

Joe and Jamie in the neighborhood. Prett good Friday morning run. Did not do anything extra with Stella afterward, just a normal dog walk.
