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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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 didn't run in the morning, was determined not to miss my run, and was going to head out anyway to take Stella for a walk, so I turned it into a run. It was a little bit warm and a little humid but not terrible. We ran from my house out just past the golf course water fountain. She was pretty well behaved during the run and after the run, stretched out on the tile panting (after a big drink of water).

Ran out and back, just past the gate, then did 8x25 second strides with 50 second jogs between, followed by a short cool down. Was hoping to easily and smoothly do each one faster than 6:00 pace. I was pretty close but missed the goal on two of them.
It was challenging and fun and went by pretty quickly. No boring run today.

Ran with Jamie in the neighborhood - t-shaped route (actually looks more like a "Y" when looking at the map). Nice 70 degrees at the end, good run, relaxed pace.

I had originally intended to run in the morning, then decided a tempo run would work out better in the evening, and then decided to at least do an "insurance" run of something besides 0.0 in case something prevented me from running in the evening.

Got home from work, fed Stella and let her out then set out on my run while it was still light out. Ran about a mile warmup, then started tempo run of 10K. Plan was to set a new "new garmin record", wanted to keep mile splits between 7:00 and 7:15 which I did except for one of the miles at 7:18 and one of them at 6:54. (7:02, 7:07, 6:54, 7:06, 7:18, 7:12, 0.24@7:14) - 44:22, 7:06 avg
But, it felt way too hard, but that's ok I guess since it let me know where I'm at. In my mind this should have been not such a hard run that you feel really wiped out at the end and not so hard that you can't speed up a little bit at the end instead of slowing down slightly.
But, I did make my goal of the garmin telling me this was the fastest 10k I've run since I've owned this garmin, I even think I beat the pace from the run two weeks before NYC.
After the run, had a pretty long night ahead getting ready for the weekend trip to Raleigh to visit Jessica's sister and their family. Flight was earlyish Friday at 8:10am and we had to stop and pick up Jessica's kids along the way
