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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Easy out and back from my house to the new trail, heading north for a little bit before turning around.
Went to 8:30 dentist appointment (cleaning), and then stopped at Jenny's house to pick up Sammy so I could watch him while she took the boys out of town overnight (but later wisely decided to cancel due to circumstances). I'd bring Sammy back to her house later that evening but first served him dinner with some leftover cut up steak pieces on top. It was Sammy's first time staying at Palm Harbor, Stella liked the company.

Ran in Westlake Village, did one big loop around the inside of the neighborhood and then 5 times up and down the Sandy Hook Hill. Trying to keep my legs strong.

Out and back run from my house, onto the Lake Dan trail down to Keystone Rd for a little bit and then turn back around. It was a pretty good morning.

Ran to Publix on Alt 19, then back to the house. Jacob was at the end of the driveway getting ready to go for a short run as part of his home assignment wrestling workout. Ran with him up to the top of Woodcutter/Lakeview hill and then back down, just past the house to the neighborhood low spot.

Did a big loop, 9 miles. There was some talk of doing 10 miles, Jacob wanted to repeat the run we did one time with him and my friends, doing a 3/1 run/walk which was a lot of fun that day. His friend Reese was going to join us. But, it was a bad night for him with allergies keeping him up. So, just me. Stopped at conservation park for a drink of water.
Steady pickup on pace from 10:57 first mile to 8:46 last mile.

Did a long slow run, heading south out of Westlake Village, down Belcher Rd to Curlew and then over to the causeway and up the Pinellas Trail. As I approached Curlew from Belcher kind of had to go to the bathroom but thought Publix was just around the corner, but it took longer than expected. Made it, but it was kind of close. While I was in Publix I walked down the paper products aisle just for "fun", pretty bare, but at least the pasta and rice area was not bare.
Continued on the run. Actually was doing 3/2 run/walk but on the run part keeping HR below 125, but on the walk part added in just enough running here and there to keep HR over 112 bpm.
Lots of people on the trail. With fewer and fewer places to go, people are walking, but at least are not congregating.
