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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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 day run, 50 minutes. Suggested pace range was 8:19 - 9:19. I wanted to keep it easy so stayed toward the slower end. Glad the heart rate stayed low. Hate it when I try for an "easy" run and it's like 10:30 pace with 160 bpm.

Goal pace (range 7:09-7:29) run of 30 minutes. Ended up with 7:07 average. Last similar run was a bit slower than this with a slowing trend - i.e. not holding the initial pace. Was much more consistent today, felt pretty good about it. Always room for improvement. But today felt like progress.
Ran in Westlake Village so had the usual small rolling hills which can be helpful.

Humpday Hustle run with Evan, 6:30 pm starting at Starkey Market. Left early enough to not be late this time and make it for the group photo. No Daisy tonight. Evan willing to play along with my fairly specific easy run - 5 minute warmup, 40 minutes 8:19-9:19, 5 minute cool down. We didn't need to stop at all, looped around the lake at Cunningham Park. The middle part of the run was just under 9:00 pace.
After the run you can get a free 4oz pour of whatever beer. A lady has a small cow on a leash inside the bar. I guess he's the mascot named Jack. Not something I see everyday except now on Wednesday nights.

Stride repeats of 12 by 20 seconds with 45 second jogs between, goal was based on steps per minute and not pace (Garmin HM plan w/ coach Greg), warm up and cool down.
It was a pretty fun run, not too stressful about hitting paces, just concentrating on moving legs (196-206 steps per minute).
