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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| Met up with the guys this morning for the usual 6.2 mile run. Most of it was pretty easy with a buildup at the end. Last full mile was at 6:57, and 6:30 pace for last .25 miles. Felt very good today. Overall pace for the run was 8:19 | | Comments(3) |

| Met up with Eudair at 5:30 this morning. It is her week off so she had extra time to run so we did 9 miles. Ran from the Y out to the horse farm. I had dropped off some water 3 miles out so we stopped on the way out and the way back for water as well as a short break to stretch at 4.5 miles. First mile was about 8:40 then we picked it up with some 7:30's and three miles around 7:00 (7:10, 6:55, 6:59). Felt very good as if I could have gone farther. Weather was great at about 63 degrees, although very dark in some spots. Overall pace was 7:58 including three breaks. At some points during the run had some mild shin pain which came and went so I'll have to keep an eye on that.
Last week I did 5 runs. I plan on doing 5 runs this week and then boosting that up to 6 runs in another week or two. This will give me a good base when I start my 18 week Chicago marathon training in the beginning of June.

| Took it a little bit easier today. Out later than usual last night entertaining some foreign visitors, but fortunately not too late! Did 5 miles around the neighborhood. Nice and cool out this morning. Started out slow and easy with 9:20 pace then picked up a little bit with a couple of the miles just under 8:00 , average for the run was 8:26 | | Add Comment |

| After warming up on the Arc trainer, lifted some weights for about 1/2 hour then got onto the treadmill. Today I did 3 800's at 3:20 pace for each one. Didn't feel quite as hard as last weeks 2 800's. I'll go for 4 next week. With 1 mile warmup, and slower speeds between the 800's and cool down it came out to 3.5 miles. This was on the treadmill which is very convenient but I'll have to get on the track when I get a chance.

| Decided to cut back a little bit for today's run and just do 7. Met up at the Y until several of my friends showed up. Headed out towards the horse farm with David, Eudair, and Barbara. Eudair and Barbara were going to do 15 today. 3.5 miles out David and I turned back and picked up the pace slightly with last two miles at marathon pace. | | Add Comment |
