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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Did two slightly larger loops in Westlake Village, actually looks a little more like a figure 8. Instead of going right at Village Way, turn left and then right on Woodcutter and then back to Lakeview, and quick left on Village Way. Felt a little sore from yesterday even though I didn't really run, but kind of did when I raced Jacob and Aubrey from the park back to the house. Jacob won but I was gaining on him going up the hill but not close enough to catch him. Aubrey sprinted out to a good lead, but I was able to pass her, but it sure wasn't easy.
Rain was coming (and maybe more lightning), but finished in time to not get wet.

Ran from my house to the new trail and north for just a little over 2 miles. Took Stella with me. I thought it might be a run walk because I was sore and she was a little hard to manage, but once we got onto the trail it got a little bit easier.
On the way back I saw one of those small painted rocks that people leave sometimes. This one was white with red cursive lettering which said "You are God's masterpiece. Ephesians 2:10" I showed it to Stella, she seemed to agree. I later looked up the verse and it didn't seem to say those exact words but I think I liked the rock better. I wanted to take it with me but thought maybe someone else needed to see it also.
After the run, moved my laundry to the dryer (it's mainly running clothes I have here) and talke to Andy and Catty for a few minutes before heading to work.

3 loops (almost a figure 8 shape actually) inside Westlake Village steady pick up with mile paces from 10:17 to 8:20 at the end. The little rolling hills help me warm up a little bit better.
Going to try and run a little bit faster for a while before going back to a mix of easy runs and scheduled workouts.

Did 4 loops and a little extra around Pineview Terrace, Lakeview, Village Way about 1.25 miles each loop. Pickup for the last 0.3 miles down to 7:14 pace
Trying this run a little faster thing for a while, no formal speedwork or easy days for now.

Did two bigger loops of about 2.4 miles, then added a little to get over 5 miles. This loop crosses over Westlake Blvd for a little bit and then comes back. It feels a little harder than the closer 1.25 mile loop which doesn't cross any streets.

Ran in Westlake Village. Kind of a later start but it was still coolish (at least at the start) and much of the route is shaded. Did 4 loops, not quite the longest loop I could make, but one with the least sharp angles, just under 2.2 miles per loop.
Did the first two, took short beverage break, did one more, then decided to do one more after that. At the start of the run had not decided on exact number of loops. But, with the little bit I added on after the 4th loop, reached 10 miles and decided that would be reasonable - plus it was finally starting to get a little bit hot.
