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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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 over to Pinellas Trail and headed north , turning around (but not stopping at) Conservation Park. Little did I know that this would be my longest run for the week, so glad I didn't cut this run short.

| No run today, probably could've squeezed in a couple of miles on the treadmill. Arrived in San Juan with Jessica, the baby, Sophia, Aubrey, Jacob and 4 of Jacob's friends. Staying at same hotel as last year but no Andy this year as he will be in Texas this weekend.
Did manage to almost make my 12,000 steps goal

Ran from near the hotel, heading out of Isla Verde and crossing over the bridge to Pinones for about another 1/2 mile before turning back. Pinones is completely different from Isla Verde, leaving behind all of the chain hotels and other name brands to shack looking beach side and road side local bars, restaurants, and other local businesses.
Started run just before 12, so kinda warm and humid but there was some cooling ocean breeze for some of the run.
After the run, hung out on the beach with Jessica and the baby under a couple of coconut trees.

Similar run to yesterday , but even later in the day (6:00 pm), able to move a little faster after not as slow of a start. Just trying to not fall too far behind this week.

Decided to skip the heat outside and run on the hotel treadmill. Treadmill pace was slightly faster but not too far off compared to the garmin using "indoor run" mode. Seems to care more about how fast you swing your arms.
Kept incline at 1 percent and played around with speed for variety.
After the run we Uber'd over to Pinones and got empanadas at a roadside place and then walked down the road a little to a beach access. Beach was mostly empty, it wasn't well manicured but was pretty nice overall. Had to watch for broken glass here and there but on the plus side I was able to find some smooth "beach glass". Should've looked for more.
Would've been happy to just hang here until susnset but we had reservations back in San Juan to go to a restaurant with Tapas and Flamenco dancers. The dancers were good (the baby was mesmerized watching them), but the guitarist was extremely talented and narrated the show in addition to providing the music for the dancers.
