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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| Ran the "I love Mother's Day" 5k and 1/2 mile run. Jenny and Andy ran the 5k as a mother/son team. It was Andy's first 5k with a time of 30:47. I ran the 1/2 mile race with Noah in just under 5 minutes. Noah wasn't too happy about not being able to do the 5K, but other than that we had a great time. | | Add Comment |

| After a fun day yesterday of eating too much, it was time to get back on track. Made it to the Y just after 6:30. Had time to warm up and stretch then did 5 miles on the treadmill. Overall pace was 8:20/mile with the fastest mile at 7:47. Then had time for about 30 minutes of lower body weights. Did some ab work with a little discomfort someone between none and mild. | | Add Comment |

| Met up at 5:30 this morning at the Y with Randy, Randall, Dixie, Eudair and David. Dixie was going a bit faster than usual but I did not try to keep up with him. Overall pace was 7:44 with the last mile at 7:13. First few miles were fairly easy. Pretty good weather this morning with the temp and humidity not too hot and no smoke. | | Add Comment |

| Ran by myself this morning. Arrived at the Y just before 6:30. Stretched and then warmed up a little bit on the arc trainer, then headed outside. Took the same route as last Wed, the Kinsmere loop then down Grimsby and Wyndtree but went a little bit farther today. Was feeling good on the last mile and picked things up and did that mile in 6:58 although this wasn't what I planned on doing. Overall pace was 7:27. If it wasn't for going faster the last mile I think I could have comfortably done a couple more miles at 7:30 without too much effort. But as it was I was a bit tired after finishing, although I did have enough left for about 30 minutes of upper body weights. | | Add Comment |

| No nosense easy run today. Dixie, Randy , and I headed out from the Y just after 5:30. Randy has a race this weekend so just did 4 with us. Dixie and I did the usual 6.2 route but did the initial 1 mile spur at the end rather than at the beginning. Felt really good especially at the end and wanted to go faster but Dixie was the voice of reason this morning and we just held steady with the pace.
8:07 overall pace.

No running today, just 20 minutes on the rowing machine, and 30 minutes of lower body weights. Also did some ab work this morning which was completely pain free, so the doctor visit and physical therapy sessions really paid off. Wanted to take today off to see if I feel "fresher" for tomorrow's run. 6 days a week has been working pretty good for me but I tend to get a lot of criticism that I am running too much, even though I'm not doing any more miles than I would be doing in 5 days. | | Comments(2) |

| Ran through various neighborhoods near the Y. Met up at 6:30 with Joe and Dixie. Started off with 8:40 pace for the first mile. Several miles were around 8:00 or just over 8:00.
Joe split off after 10 miles then Dixie and I continued on for another 3. Paces were pretty steady, not too hard but not slow. Last 3 miles were a little bit faster and started feeling a little bit harder. We decided to back it down slightly for the very last mile. As we were finishing up, I noticed we were just under 13 miles. I also noticed that if we ran another .1 miles I would have a new half marathon PR. That wasn't really the point of today's run, but it was a fun way to finish up. Overall pace was 7:48.
