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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

One hour run consisting of the square loop around the outside of Westlake Village and then a smaller loop inside the neighborhood to finish off the time.

Warmup, then 15 minutes pace range 6:39-6:59
Stayed solidly within the pace range although near the slower end for most of it, coming out with an average pace of 6:50 due to a slight speedup at after the first mile. Hoping to really nail this one with a feeling that I had to hold back, instead I did the job and at least wasn't wavering in and out of the pace range.
It was a little bit on the warmer side compared to what it had been, but still a pretty reasonable 72 degrees - going to miss those sub 75 degree mornings once the summer hits.

Wednesday right with the Starkey Market run club. Ran part of it with Joe, Daisy, and Evan. Daisy split off after we returned to Starkey Market while I kept on going to get the extra time to make it to one hour of running.

Ran on Starkey Gap trail, run was easy pace plus 10 by 20 second strides in the middle of the run with goal in steps per minute to practice leg turnover.

Ran in Starkey Park on the bike trail, 1:10 running easy then progressing to 7:15 pace for 10 minutes, then 6:35 pace for 5 minutes followed by 5 minute cool down.
Able to successfully switch gears to the faster paces after running a reasonably paced easy part (8:16 to 8:57 range for those miles).
This was also the Striders "Spring Fling" - first get together since Christmas which I had missed due to being out of town. I got there too late for the group picture but said hi to a number of people I hadn't seen in a while. Weather was nice but it's feeling like those nice mornings with cooler temps are few in number.
