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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| Almost forgot to blog this run. It's taper week and I'm trying to follow the plan in Smartcoach. I usually modify it and run a few more times than it calls for. So, I didn't run on Monday. There was only 4 on the schedule for Tuesday and no run on Wednesday. I ran with Jenny for part of her tempo run. We warmed up with 2 easy miles, then she started her tempo portion (3.5 @ 7:35). I ran two miles with her and then headed back towards home. I was going to just try and run between 7:00 and 7:10, but I got a little bit faster and did the last mile at about a 6:50 pace. Average pace: 7:52
Weather was actually kind of warm compared to what we had been having. It was back to sleeveless shirt weather (62 degrees), but it is supposed to cool down some more soon.

| One last tempo run before the marathon, shorter distance. Goal was 4 @ 6:33 plus warm up and cool down. The temperature was similar to what is forecast for Sunday (mid 40's for the low), but hopefully it won't be as breezy. Jenny and I warmed up together. About a mile into the run I said out loud that I could run in this (referring to the wind). Just then, a gust of wind came up to remind me that I should keep my mouth shut. Felt pretty good on the warm up (about two miles), then got going on the tempo. First mile went pretty well, except for the garbage truck pulling out in front of me. Turned around just after the end of the first mile and was into the wind for the next mile and a half (about), so second mile was a little bit slower. For the final mile I was running with the wind, and I was excited about finishing , so that mile was faster than the rest.
Splits were: 6:32, 6:34, 6:30, 6:19 Met back up with Jenny just as she was finishing her 800's, so we ran back home together for the cool down.
Average pace: 7:32

| One more easy run for taper week. Ran by myself around the neighborhood and felt pretty good. Mostly ran pretty even and easy with a little bit of pickup at the end. It was chilly again (back in the mid 30's). Average pace: 7:42
Marathon weather is supposed to be a little bit warm with 40's to low 50's at the end (nice!), some wind from N or NNW (not as nice, since last 6 miles is north), but it shouldn't be a very strong wind (nice!). Want to come in under 3:10 for this one. If I'm feeling good I'd like it to be even more under 3:10 (maybe 3:03 ~ 3:05 if I'm feeling strong).
