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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Just taking it easy. Last week's colder temps have changed back to cool. Was feeling a little slow this morning but didn't want to push it.

Met up at the Y with the Striders but was there a little bit late. Started raining at the beginning of the run but the temperature was good. Took it easy.

Nice run this morning. Ran with the group at Longleaf.  Not too slow start, some good middle miles and two sub 7 miles at the end. Felt like a return of energy that had been missing earlier this week.

Morning run - 5.22 mi, 00:48, 09:14 pace

Just an easy paced out and back run with some practice running on uneven ground in the dark.  Purposely shorter since I am going to run with Lisa this evening for about 5 miles. (nimbus)

Evening run - 5.17 mi, 00:45, 08:40 pace

Ran 4 miles with Lisa, then ran into Joe and did a little over a mile with him. Felt better than this morning's run.

I left my house at 5:10 instead of driving to Longleaf. Ran to Diane's house where I met up with her, Jorge, and Craig then we all ran into the park. I split off onto the unpaved trails. Those miles, especially the dark ones were extra slow but I was trying to be careful. Definitely need more dark trail practice. Ran into Jorge and Diane as they were running out of the park. My legs were pretty tired today.

I was supposed to be running in the North Georgia mountains this morning in the Georgia Death Race but decided not to go mainly due to things going on at work.  With the schedule already very tight there would be no room to take an extra day off if something happened.  It was probably the right choice.
