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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

A couple loops inside Westlake Village with start just before it got light out.
Happy with pace and heartrate.

One loop inside Westlake Village and then a little up and down on Lakeview to get over 4 miles. Another early morning start as well (still dark at start, been using headlamp even though streets are pretty well lit, want to be seen a little better).

Short run around inside of Westlake Village, felt good about the heart rate and pace. Feel like things are progressing slow and steady.
Leaving tonight for San Diego, will stay at my brother's house then we are heading out to Borrego Springs to meet up with the runners we are crewing on the Badwater Salton Sea 81 mile race. It's a team event, runners have to stick together the whole way, not a relay. I don't know of any other races like this. It will get pretty hot during the day, well over 100 degrees.

| Did not run in the morning and when I was going to run in Borrega Springs realized I had forgotten running shorts so just went for a walk instead.
Saw a road runner and a desert hare.

| No running today (except maybe back and forth to the car).
Helped crew at the Salton Sea to Palomar Ultra (81 miles).
It was an experience to remember. My brother and I along with one of the runners husband leapfrogged in the support vehicle.
Reasonably cool at dawn on the shore near the Salton Sea, then they were on their own for 7 miles before the first crew point.
Then from the 7 mile point to mile 35 brought them to the Borrego Springs resort, temps quite hot up to 106 degrees.
Then , 5 miles from the resort to the Hellhole Canyon trailhead where they'd run a trail section about 8 miles (and lots of climbing). Had dinner then met them on the other side.
Night time came and then miles 48 to 68 brought us to the road going up Mount Palomar.
(Sunday morning) It was a great view from near the top as the sun rose and the valleys below were covered by marine layer clouds making it look like a giant lake with islands poking through the clouds.
After the race, dropped of the runners and then went back to Tim's house and took a longer than planned nap and then dinner out at "Privateers" restaurant for some great pizza.
