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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Run went better than expected, because on Sunday I smashed my pinky
toe. It got bruised and kind of swollen but fortunately was not
broken. Took it easy with a steady pace and shorter distance. Did some
weights afterward, heaviest set was at 185 but only got 3 reps, needs
more work.

It was cool but humid this morning. Just planned on taking it
easy. I felt tighter and more sluggish than I expected (felt great on
Tuesday). Time to relax and not worry about it. This seems to happen to me a lot before a race, not sure why.

The race was good! First half in about 4:11, so second half in
4:39. Weather was not as bad as it could have been with a nice cloud
cover for most of the day. Race started at 10:00 am. Scenery was
awesome (first time being this far down in the keys). Ran from Marathon
to Key West. Volunteers, runners, and their support crew were all
awesome. Of course, it is 50 miles, so it starts getting pretty hard at
some point, this time I think it was about mile 25. Slowed down but
kept on going.
I didn't have a time goal at first, however, since I didn't have blinking lights and reflective tape I had to be done before 7:30 at night (9 and a half hours). That was good because it kept me from deciding to just walk the rest of it when the going got tough. Nice bonus to get an age group award, and a nice surprise that they had nice age group awards since ultras usually aren't big on that sort of thing - nice to be different sometimes.
I've got a more in depth report on my blog at: http://marksgonnarun.blogspot.com/2012/05/keys100-50-mile-ultra.html
