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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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 can't remember the last time we (ran with Dixie) did this run. Started out slow and took it easy, good pace and distance to start the week. The time went by quickly and I hardly noticed the running. Also, you definitely don't need to bring along music when running with Dixie. Big week ahead, going to try one step at a time.

Ran with a bunch of people, started out with Eudair, Mike, Beka, and Claude W.
, fell back for a bit and eventually caught up again at the end. Did
the cool down 1.5 mile route with Mike and Beka after the fast stuff.
Did some weights afterward, several sets of bench presses with
heaviest 4x175lb, starting to creep back up to where I was last year.
Want to break 200 (which I got close to doing last year before things got in the way)

mi,

08:27 pace For many of the past Wednesdays recently I've been going to a spin class taught by one of my running friends Nancy. It's been great cross training, but I thought I would skip it this weeks as I sometimes seem to tweak my knee or doing something else like that and I'm trying to keep myself injury free until after the race.
So, I slept in a little bit later than past Wednesdays. Enjoyed a quiet and relaxing run.

Good run to start the day. Ran at Longleaf for the usual Thursday morning group run with the Striders. I started out with the faster people and stayed with them for a bit before falling back, but never went too slow. The last two miles were 6:48 and 6:19. During the last full mile I saw that I was closing the gap between myself and Beka. I wasn't consciously in racing mode although as I got closer I decided to try and catch up to her, which I did although it didn't really count since she started her cool down just before I got there.

Pretty good Friday run, took it easier today especially the first
couple of miles. One more longer run tomorrow then taking it easy next
week until the race.

Unexpectedly cooler and less humid
than I thought it would be. Started out at Longleaf at 5:30 with Keith,
Dixie and Eudair. Met up with some more people at Craig and Diane's
before running into the park and out to the 4 mile water stop before
turning around. Pace varied a lot with a good push for the last 3
miles. Saw two deer and a blue jay. Spent a little time at social hour
before catching a ride back to my car with Greg. Pretty happy to wrap up one more good week of training now with two 50+ mile weeks. It's not quite what I used to do on a regular basis but at the same time it's been a while since I've put two 50+ mile weeks in a row together. I will probably only run two or three times next week before the race on Saturday. Looking forward to running over the bridges and across the keys from Marathon to Key West, although I know it is going to be hot and it will get hard especially mentally. Hard means different things and sometimes you really can't define it until you experience it.
