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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Ran from my house to the Heritage Springs gate and then back home.
Partly cloudy, 80 degrees. I started at 9:16. Just a short run today.

Ran in Westlake Village, doing my favorite loop of about 1.25 miles. Ran about 4 loops (4 and then enough to get back to the house).
Kept the run kind of easy, but in the next few days decided to try and run it a little faster each day.

Did a similar route as yesterday's, about 1.25 mile loop in Westlake Village, no busy street crossing, just a simple loop. Ran 5 loops this time, running by feel, but wanted to go faster than yesterday. The terrain variety helps my legs not feel stale.

Another similar run to yesterday, 1.25 mile loop in Westlake Village, run 4 times (but not stopping, yesterday was 3 loops, break, then 2 loops).
A little bit faster than yesterday.

Ran from my house, south down the new trail to just past Lake Dan and then turned around and came back.

Ran from my house, up the new trail heading north, crossed 54 and then into Starkey Ranch until I reached the building at the lake. When I started the run I thought my big problem would be that it would get hot (started at 8:41), but the cloud cover was nice and then it got a little darker and then there was a light rain. Used the water fountain and waited a little for the rain to die down which it did after a few minutes, so got going again to head home.
Then the rain returned, and with just over a mile to go to get to Longleaf it really started to come down hard. Then there was thunder and I could tell the lightning strikes were getting too close for comfort. Ran pretty fast, made it to Starkey Blvd just as I saw lightning and nearly at the same time heard the thunder. Texted Andy for a ride back but wasn't sure if he'd see it so I also texted Tom and Jenny. Jenny was getting dropped off at the bike shop by Sean, so he gave me a ride back to my house. Was hoping for 12 miles but ended up just short of 10 miles.
Will try to do a couple miles later in the evening.
PM - 2.65 mi, 22:15, 8:23 avg
2 loops in Westlake Village, 6:32 pm start, still kind of warm but hint of coolness after a nice day. Finally got a handle on the pool situation, swapping out the filter again (braved the bee hive successfully after asking Jacob to do it for me yesterday. Bees should all be gone soon hopefully).
