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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Planned on doing usual out and back run down the Starkey Gap trail, but while heading south several people coming the other way advised me that there was a 14 foot alligator hanging out on the trail. Got to the gator spot (treed area near a bench). I'm not sure if it was 14 feet but was very large and didn't get close enough to measure. Seemed to be stuck trying to go under a fence but not completely stuck where it couldn't turn around. Decided to turn back and adjust my route.
Was warmer today and run felt harder but average heart rate was ok at least.

Workout 4 x 4 minutes @6:09-6:29, then 5x30 second sprints @5:09-5:29
4 minutes at the recommended pace would be about 20 minute 5k pace, was able to hit all the paces on the 4 minute intervals except for 2 seconds slow on the first one, but rest were faster.
4 minute paces: 6:31, 6:13, 6:16, 6:22
For the 30 second sprints was pretty close also, I think slowest was 5:40 pace. I thought there were 6 sprints so after the 5th rest period I was ready to take off but watch reminded me to take it easy.
It was a relief to not fail this one. For however long my Strava account goes back it recorded new PB for 1k and second best time for 800m

Easy run from the half marathon schedule, 45 minutes total, out and back on Starkey Gap trail. Was feeling tired from yesterday and a poor night's sleep.
Last couple weeks, easy runs were 50 minutes, down to 45 minutes this week as a cutback before going to 60 minutes next week.

Felt a little more rested today. Another easy run, this time in Westlake Village, looping around the neighborhood and then up and down the street.
Rest day tomorrow, probably will walk and some weights, then Hippie Dash 5k on Saturday.
