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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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 Monday morning run in WLV with 1/4 walk/run intervals to help keep it easy and not tedious.

Warmup and then did 10x500m workout at 5k goal pace with 1 minute jog breaks between. However, some of the breaks were slightly longer than 1 minute if I was about to go up a hill. Really should be on a track or at least a flat loop section of road.
2:02, 1:58, 2:05, 1:55, 1:57, 2:00, 1:53, 1:55, 1:56, 1:48
So, average was a little under 2:00 with only two of them being a little slow

| AM 4.34@10:48 - easy 1/4 mile walk/run intervals in Westlake Village, slightly faster pace than average for this sort of run, kept heart rate average low
PM 3.52@11:24 - evening run with Herd Hustle at Starkey Market. Not a walk/run but zone 2 with zone alert on watch so I'd take random walk breaks whenever going into zone 3.

5 mile tempo run with goal pace of 7:09, actual splits - 7:13, 7:13, 7:01, 7:14, 6:55
So, average ended up right about 7:08, kind of struggled the first two miles and wanted to quit or break it up but managed to hang on and was finally rewarded with a solid 5th mile reminding me of the days of sub-7:00 tempo runs. Maybe those days can come back with consistency and carefully avoiding setbacks.
Got a 20 miler coming up this weekend.

Short easy run consisting of 1/4 walk/run intervals. Basic recovery in preparation for tomorrow's long run

Big run, starting with warm up loop inside Westlake Village then made my way to Pinellas Trail and then over to the Dunedin causeway out as far as the park entrance to Honeymoon Island. Cold water drinking fountain near the snack bar/kayak rental place.
First mile 9:15, last mile 7:42, mostly increasing pace with a few small dips along the way.
Good weather, cool enough at the start although a little warmer by the finish.
