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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| 4 miles on the treadmill. Average pace about 8:15. Did some lower body weights first. Definitely felt like a Monday this morning. | | Add Comment |

| Woke up a few minutes earlier (4:55 instead of 5:00) to get a little bit more stretching before the run which seemed to help. It was just Randy and I today. We took the first few miles at an easy pace then picked up a little bit to an 8:00 pace. Randy split off at the point to complete 5 miles and I continued up along the usual 6.2 mile route. I was feeling good so I took a slightly longer way back to the Y for a total of 7.3 miles. Overall pace was 7:45. Going to see the doctor today about an abdominal problem, hurts when I sneeze and it has been months since I've been able to do a good crunch. Want to get it looked at as Chicago marathon training is approaching. | | Add Comment |

| 5 miles on the treadmill this morning at the Y followed by about 30 minutes of upper body weights. Overall pace averged 8:05. Slower and shorter run than yesterday. Planning on doing at least usual 6.2 tomorrow. | | Add Comment |

| Good turnout for this morning's run, Dixie, Eudair, Keith, Raj, Brian and myself. Started at with an easy pace for the first mile (9:00). Stopped twice for some quick water breaks. Dixie asked if anyone was up for an extra mile so I said sure and we repeated the run I did on Tuesday but did not go as fast today. Averaged 8:16 for the run. | | Add Comment |

| Met up with Dixie, Eudair and Brian at the Y this morning at 5:30 which we usually don't do except for Tue and Thu. Ran part of the usual 6.2 mile loop to only do just over 3 miles. Then headed over to the track at the high school next to the Y where we did 4 800's at 3:20 each (actually between 3:18 and 3:21 which was pretty close) with about 3 minutes of jogging between each one. Didn't feel too hard which was good as we just wanted to do a little bit. With the more frequent running I have been doing for the past few weeks I have been feeling more fit than ever. Doctor visit a few days ago has worked out really well. After just two physical therapy appointments my lingering lower abdominal pain when sitting up is pretty much all gone. Glad I didn't put that off any longer. | | Add Comment |

12 miles, starting at the Y this morning. Weather was already warm at 71°. It was Dixie, Eudair, Franco, Barbara and myself. Barbara, Eudair, and Franco were doing 14 miles, but Dixie and myself only had time for 12 miles which was fine as I had put in a pretty good number of miles for me this week already. We were trying to take things slowly and stopped a few times for water until we had done 7 miles. The last 5 miles were pretty solid with no stopping and miles splits ranging between 7:45 and 8:05. It had warmed up at the end and was 77° and feeling even more humid. With the slower pace at the beginning and breaks counted, the total average pace was 8:42, total time 1:44:28
It's been a good week for running :)
