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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Slow start with comfortable pick up, another perfect morning for
running. Finished up with 6 x 20 second strides which I hadn't done in
I'm not sure how long. These are a great thing to do when you haven't been able to do any speed work. It reminds you that yes, you can still run fast if you need to.

Did warm up mile and half or so with Mike, Beka, Melanie and a new
guy. After that I was pretty much on my own except for saying hi to
people here and there. The last few miles got faster, with one of them at 6:50. It didn't feel like I had to try very hard to get a faster pace this morning, maybe something to do with waking up my legs with the strides yesterday.
Did a few weights after the run. Nice morning
and legs didn't feel heavy today.

| One hour of spinning and other stuff at the end (squats, planks, push-ups), sweat fest. Lots of quad work, great class put on by Nancy who does massage therapy as well as biking, running, and teaching this spin class. The class was filled with other runners - I think there was only one non-runner there (a neighbor of mine who I had not officially met until today). I sweat a lot in that class, but I forgot to bring a towel today, fortunately, one of my running buddies, Beka, had an extra one which I will wash and return to her tomorrow when I see her at Longleaf.
After I got back home, I went out for a 3 mile run (about 8:24 pace, no garmin just ran over a known distance)

A bit warmer out this morning. Took it easy for the first 3.5,
then did a 3.5 mile tempo run (about 6:40 pace), followed by mile cool
down. Felt a little bit of rain during the cool down. I think the splits were something like: 6:43, 6:45, 6:40, and then 6:20 for last 0.5 I need to remind myself that I can still run fast if I want/need to after having done a lot of slower miles.

Ran most of the t-shaped route. Cool but very moist this morning. I like to wear these lighter shoes now and then because they really help me feel if I'm using proper form or not, they are very comfortable. After the run, attempted 100 push-ups without stopping. I made it to 91, not too bad for the first attempt in quite a long time!

Started at Longleaf with Bob T, Mike, Beka, and one other guy. I
quickly fell back and was running by myself, but eventually caught up
with Bob for a quick stop at Craig and Diane's house. Then, ran with
Bob until inside Starkey park which was nice as I had been feeling a bit
low on energy. Talking with someone else makes the run go by much
nicer. Then, ran by myself a bit, before catching up to Kim L. and Rachel G.
We ran together for a bit before I turned off the bike path to run off
road a bit and then back towards Longleaf. Parts of this run were a bit of a struggle and I never quite got up to that feeling really good pace which just happens to pick up with the same or less effort and more relaxation. But, it wasn't bad also.
Rain held off but it was a
little bit muggy. We need the rain. Back home in time to take Thomas bowling and enjoy my recovery breakfast of Dr. Pepper and bacon,egg,cheese sandwich (also had time to gulp down a muscle milk on the way there). Only one more week of bowling after this, then I'll have a little more time.
