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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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 with my brother Jim this
morning. Woke him up at 6:30 to go running, but he asked for more
sleep time due to late flight. Woke him up again and offered to skip
the run but he said he needed to run at least a little bit so he could
have a doughnut. Well, it got the job done at least.

I must have been able to get the
lead out of my legs at boot camp last night. First mile was 8:42 which
is a pretty fast first mile for me, the rest of the miles were under
8:00 pace, I didn't have heavy legs or tight shins today which was nice.
Ran with Nancy R. for the first mile or so, then mostly on my own the rest of the way.

Good run on warm and humid morning. Started at 6:30 so it was mostly light for the run. My shins were a bit tight at the start of the run so I tried to concentrate on running easy and relaxed. Felt better after I warmed up. Going to try and improve my stride. I've seen some pictures of myself running recently which seem to indicate more of a heel strike than I would like and more than I thought I was doing. I thought I was a better midfoot striker, but no, not really. When I'm warmed up, but not yet tired, I think it gets better, but it also makes me go a little bit faster. I should be able to run at whatever speed I want without being a heel striker. Takes practice and getting used to I suppose. P.M. - Attended Jenny's boot camp. Getting warm, and it's not completely dark now at the start of class. At the cardio portion, we did 6 sprints, which felt great.

Ran with assorted Striders
throughout the run. I could actually see the humidity, but cooler than
yesterday. Almost got sucked into Beka's vortex as she ran past me with
a mile to go but resisted the urge to keep up, then had to resist again
with Melanie right after her. Kind of weird that my hamstrings felt tired today, I don't think I've ever felt that. They were not tight or achy, just tired.
Chatted a few minutes at the social
hour. Eventually figured out why my hamstrings were tired when I
remembered about the sprints at boot camp last night!

Just a quick out and back I saw Lisa and Jenny coming back from their run as I was heading out. Today was also "green silence day" - I would like to be able to use those shoes all of the time because my feet feel much better when I do and I feel like I have a freer feeling form but am a little worried about the lower amount of cushioning - maybe I shouldn't be. Would also like to try the Brooks Pure Flow which have a lower heel drop.

Special treat to run with Dixie
this morning, not sure when the last time was I ran with him. Talked
about bee keeping and bio diesel as well as some talk about running along with the actual running. Also ran with
Keith, Jammie, Victoria, Craig and Diane (who hosted the fabulous
"lemonade" stand). Almost stopped at 7 miles, but then decided to do
one more out and back to the bridge with Jammie and Victoria. Usually I would run into Starkey park, and then run back from there, but today did not go there. It was nice to do something different.
