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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Short and easy run up and down the street in Foxwood.
In the afternoon (early evening), watched Thomas at the District Meet where he ran the 1600 with a time of 4:51.45 (his second fastest). He also ran his fastest 400m in a 1600 with the first lap at 1:06. Teammate Paul ran a 4:41 to get 4th place and moved onto the regional meet.

(easy part 6.05 mi, 1:01:52, 10:14 avg, HR 141 bpm)
Ran out and back a little past Lake Dan on the new trail, targeting a 10:15ish average (ended up with 10:14), while doing a 5/1 run/walk and hoping for a heart rate around 130 or so.
Finished the first part of the run at 10:14 average but with 141 heart rate, a bit disappointing.
Then to shake off the slow feeling, ran some strides, stopped my watch on the rest/jog breaks to see what my stride pace was, averaged 5:36 running 0.8 miles worth of strides up and down the street in front of my house.

Ran the Alderman, Alt19, Klosterman, Belcher loop. Did a cut through of Eniswood to shorten the loop a little bit, trying to run MAF zone which I mostly did which I did until turning right onto Belcher Road. At that point I decided to pick up the pace for the stretch back home. There are little rolling hills with one last bigger hill up to the top of Alderman. I had a lot of trouble picking it up at all at first, but gradually was able to increase my speed but not much faster than 7:30's.

Strict MAF run - these don't seem to go well, maybe because I keep staring at my heart rate. Ran in Foxwood and Foxhollow, standard y-shaped route. Kept lap heart rate right at 128 bpm. It was slow going but maybe I needed to go slow today.
Tomorrow I'll just run.

Ran with Jamie in Starkey Park on the bike trail doing 5/1 run/walk. This was her last long run - one week out from London Marathon, her last one to complete the 6 majors.
Today's run was faster, although with a higher heart rate but did not look at it until after the run was over. Very nice morning in Starkey, had not been there for a Saturday run for a while.
