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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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/walk with Jessica in the neighbhorhood. It was a little bit warm and muggy out but not too bad. Started out with more walking than running but was more running than walking by the end.  Good to share some exercise time together!

Ran from my house out to Longleaf via 54.  Said hi to the Striders as they were finishing up and mentioned about my missing gatorade and I suspected it was Clarke and Cindy being conscientious about cleaning up the area and said they'd make sure it was left alone this time.

Ran up to and into Aristide neighborhood and on the way back I saw a family of turkey's out for a walk (mom/dad and three babies).  Picked it up the last few miles except for a brief stop near Longleaf to grab my gatorade for the return trip.

Ran with Jamie in the neighborhood, starting about 7:00am.  Legs were a little bit sore from yesterday's run but overall this was a decent run.

Ran from my house, to 54, then Starkey Blvd and stopped briefly at Longleaf to stash my gatorade and then continued up the Starkey Blvd bike path.  I gradually increased my pace up to mile 6 which was 7:24.

I then ran 10x1min pick ups which ranged from 5:40's to 6:00 pace.  I minute easy jog between each one.  Last few were getting pretty tough and kept on bargaining with myself how 5 was good enough, and then 6, etc. until I got them all done.

Wedding is now only 24 more days, can't believe it is this month.  We met with Jessica's rabbi yesterday to go over some questions and the format of the ceremony.  He is a wise and personable man.  Still some things left to do but the big things are mostly covered, very exciting time.

Just some light run/walk today.  Did some with Jessica in the morning and then in the evening went with Stella to burn off some of her energy.

Ran from Longleaf up to Starkey park via Diane's house with Jamie, Cynthia and Daisy.  It's been a while since I ran with all three.  I had been thinking about running to Longleaf but was a little bit short on time so I got there a few minutes early and warmed up a little bit first before the others got there.  Finished up one more mile back in Longleaf with Jamie once we returned.  

It was warm and humid but a little bit of a breeze helped out.
