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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

I slept in a bit and was going to skip my run. Lisa was going
running later in the morning so I joined her. Ran out almost to the Y
with her before running back by myself. It warmed up quickly but not
bad at all for late in the morning.

Worked out in the Y first time in quite a long time (I had dropped the membership for a while). Just wanted to get my feet weight and experience some steep grades.
Did some weights and ran on the treadmill. Put the incline up to 15% to see how it feels. It feels hard.

Special feeling run this morning. I wasn't sure how many people
would show up or what kind of mood they would be in. It was a good
crowd and there was a certain amount of joy in the air. The weather and
running were good also. Patrick had a lot to share about what happened
yesterday and everyone's concern for Marcia, David J, and Andrea. It
was a good morning to celebrate.

Ran from my house to the Y, taking the shortest route I knew (3.18
miles), did some weights and then did 2.1 miles in 20 minutes with
incline between 3 and 15 % then ran back home taking a longer route.

5:30 Longleaf start with the Striders. Great morning to run and
greet returning Boston stars Andrea and Marcia. I was also motivated to
do three one mile pick ups of 6:50, 6:45, and 6:35 just to remind
myself to run faster sometimes. There was still a little bit of coffee
left when I finished.

Left the house a little after 5:00, ran to Longleaf and met up with
Cynthia, Eudair, Keith, and Dixie, then to Diane's house where Keith
and Dixie headed back and Craig and Diane ran with us into the park.
Stopped to pose for "Welcome Home David J, Andrea, and Marcia from
Boston" group photo, then continued on with Cynnthia and Eudair until
they had to turn back. I continued up the dirt road to Serenova Tract
park and then across the street to Publix where I looked for cold
Gatorade, but they didn't have any so I bought some shelf temperature
Gatorade instead. Got a little lost coming back through until I finally
found the right dirt road along the power lines. Did short walk breaks
most miles. After Publix my pace was 10:20 average (I kept the clock
running the whole time), but ended up with a 9:48 average for the total.
It wasn't easy but it did go pretty smoothly. This was my longest
not-a-race training run I've done so far. Yesterday, my cat got out of the house for the first time. I didn't notice she was missing at first so wasn't sure how long she had been gone. About noon today she finally showed up. I know that cats usually find their way back but wasn't sure if this cat would.
