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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

30 minutes of running at half marathon goal pace (range 7:09-7:29), plus 15 minute warmup and 15 minute cool down.
Like last time doing goal pace run, it was warm and humid but not so much that I didn't think I could gut it out, after all it's only 30 minutes.
First mile at goal pace I was a little bit slower and almost in danger of being too slow, but I hung in there and managed 7:26 for the first mile. Then it got a little better, feeling more relaxed. Watch broke up the run into 20 minutes and 10 minutes, no break in between, just a new countdown.
So, average for the 30 minutes was just under 7:15 pace. I felt pretty good about this run compared to last one, but then I remembered that last time was 45 minutes, so not really apples to apples comparison.

45 minute easy paced run on Starkey Gap trail , out and back southbound from Trinity Blvd trailhead. It was a pretty good run.
No humpday hustle tonight, working through work crunch

Supposed to be another easy run and although it felt easy, heart rate says otherwise, not sure what's up with that.
Evening would be filled with excitement as it almost looked like the baby was about to arrive but eventually things calmed down, about a month to go still.

20 minute half goal pace run, pace range 7:09-7:29, actual pace 7:12
Felt not too bad, first fast mile felt hard at first with pace in high 7:20's, relaxed a little bit and ended up with 7:13, pretty steady the rest of the way with slight pick up for last 5 minutes to 6:59. Ran in Westlake Village doing loops.
CD had her dance recital, they did really well and it was fun to watch, gave her flowers afterward. In the evening we went to The Current Hotel and had dinner and supposedly a night of relaxation but spent about 3 hours at hospital for false alarm (not a bad turnaround compared to some hospital visits).
