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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| 0 miles, travel morning and then straight to work.
My flight was at 7:00 am, Jim at a 6:00 am flight. I decided to just wake up and go to the airport at the same time. It worked out since it was raining pretty heavy and would not be a fun walk to the Silver Line station, so we shared an Uber.
Was hanging out before the flight with extra time to spare when Tracy came over and sat next to me. She was the guide runner for Chris with bib number 321, reserved for neurodivergent athletes and sponsored by Adidas. It was fun to listen to her recount running with Chris. She's a pretty tough woman who kept Chris moving and helped get him a nice PR as well. She only had about a month to train, and even though it was much slower than she usually runs, its still the marathon distance and was hard work running while continually motivating her runner. Quite a feat for her and Chris. I've always been inspired by the guide runners and the runners they are guiding, each one with a unique challenge.

Pretty short run today, one loop inside Foxwood. I did two quick strides to try and remind me to start doing strides.
Very low miles so far this week! It must be sympathy marathon recovery for the marathon that I watched.

Friday run out just past Lake Dan on the Starkey Gap Trail. Near the turnaround I saw Joe, so caught back up to him and we ran back together. Filled him in on the Boston trip while we ran. Third mile was 8:14, slowed down a little while chatting.

Started out doing the big square around the outside of Westlake Village, but instead of completing it right away, headed south down the Pinellas Trail to Curlew Road and then headed north , just past the old train tunnel to conservation park to use the cold drinking fountain. Someone there asked if I was running 20 miles today or just 10, I said 15. He seemed to recognize me but I couldn't quite place who it was. People sometimes come up to me and ask if I'm that guy they see running all the time.
