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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Back at it. After the failed trip to GA, able to get back to half marathon training. Most runs are run for time, today was 45 minutes - 5 min warmup, 35 minutes @8:19-9:19,5 minutes easy. Ran on Starkey Gap Trail from Trinity Blvd.

45 minute easy paced run (8:19-9:19 range), ran in Westlake Village
This plan seems to be exclusively time based so I know exactly how long each workout will take, no stops either

Stride repeat workout - 10 minute easy warmup, then 10 x 20sec/45sec rest. No target pace for strides, just steps per minute (150-200), 10 minute cool down after the strides.
Weather very nice and despite the strides, HR under 140 not bad, although mileage wise not a long run.
After the run did 2 sets of 8 squat/press/curl with 25lb dumbbells, 2 sets of pull-ups, 1 set 26 push-ups - try to build back up with non-running exercise

Long ray day by time, 105 minutes, 5 minute easy warmup, 75 minute "easy" (8:19-9:19), then 20 minute optional easy which I did (same pace as first 75 minutes), followed by 5 minute warm down.
Instead of usual route, I parked at the Tarpon Turtle and ran on the east-west section of Pinellas trail, first going east until East Lake Rd, then turning around to go west until the trail turned south in downtown Tarpon Springs. Went far enough south so my return trip would burn up the remainder of time. It can be distracting to run through this section as there are a lot of stop signs and some busy-ish crossings.
There were a lot of bicycle police that were scolding cyclists that did not stop at stop signs so I made some sort of attempt to look like I was stopping.
Heart rate was higher than I wouldv'e liked but I did feel really good and running a steady pace did feel "easy" once fully warmed up.
Also, very nice morning today.
