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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| It was supposed to be just a routine 8 or 9 miles around the neighborhood. Jenny and I started out from the house. There was a very light rain which seemed to be easing up. Just over half way around the neighborhood loop, the rain picked up and got pretty heavy. So, we headed back home. Jenny would run later and I headed off to the Y. I briefly thought about running in the rain but decided to take advantage of having access to a treadmill. Average pace: about 8:35 Headed over to the Y and pretty much got onto the treadmill right away since I was already warmed up. I realized that I had forgotten my music, but despite that the run went by pretty quickly. I played around with the incline and speed to break things up. Did another 6.57 miles.
Average pace: 7:42 Since I was at the Y, did about 20 minutes of weights. It's been quite a while since I had lifted weights other than smaller dumbbells at home. Nice to change things a bit.

Run went as planned. Weather was perfect. Jenny and I ran from home and met up with her friend Kathryn who joined us for about four and a half miles. Kept a pretty steady pace throughout the run. Jenny and I ran together just over 8 miles. Once we got back home I went on a little bit farther to get over 9 for the day.
Average pace: 8:30

| This morning's run was remarkably similar to yesterday's run. Ran with Jenny around the neighborhood. Met up with Kathryn when we passed near her house. We all ran together for 4.5 miles, then Jenny and I continued on. Jenny ran 8.25, then I went on a bit more by myself to get over 9 miles again. It was a bit cooler than yesterday but still very nice out. Average pace: 8:34

Nice easy run this morning with Jenny. Just the two of us today. We ran together just over 9 miles then I did another mile by myself. We both brought music with us but ended up talking most of the time. We also ran down a couple of side roads that we usually don't run down which was a nice change. Happy to get 10 miles in since the weekend will be pretty busy.
Average pace: 8:28

| Ran by myself this morning. Perfect day for running. A number of people asked where my running partner was today (she was at the hilly neighborhood with her friend). Lots of stuff to do today so it was good to start it off with a run. Average pace: 8:02

| Quick run to get adjusted to the traveling. Arrived in Brussels just after 12:00, Jenny's sister met us at the airport and drove us back to their house. After some hellos and pastries and tea and figured it was now or never, go out and do the run before I crash! So, that's what I did. My nephew biked alongside me to show me how to get to a nearby park which has a trail around a lake. A bit cooler here than in Florida, but actually quite nice for running (right about 50 degrees). Rained a little bit on the way home but just a few sprinkles. Average pace: 8:46
The flights out here went pretty well overall, we had two connections, Philadelphia and Munich. The kids had fun in the Munich airport - it's very modern looking and the restrooms were quite interesting!
