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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Day 2 of Western States training (Foresthill to Rucky Chucky) Today was a good deal easier. My legs were a bit stiff starting out but not too bad.
My brother ran with me today. He was better than me on the downhills
but I would pass him on the uphills so I started letting him go ahead on
the downhills and then catching up to him later. Ran down and saw the
river crossing point at Rucky Chucky, and then had a pretty good 3 mile
climb back up to where the buses would pick us up. They had some good
refreshments at the end, which worked out well because I was starving!
Had a lot of fun and was glad my brother could make it out today and run
with me.

12:44 pace Day 3 Western States 100 Training, Green Gate to Placer HS
Started out 2 miles from Green Gate before getting onto the WS100
course, then ran to the finishing area. Today was the hardest day to
start out as my legs were a bit tired and sore/stiff. But, I loosened
up quite a bit after two miles and was able to start on a pretty steady
pace after that and maintain it. Didn't slow down as much on the
uphills and enjoyed running the last mile from Robie point to the
finish. Finishing the third day was a huge confidence booster. Someone
told me that if you can finish all three days, you can finish the race.
I'm going to believe in that. Wow, 73 miles in 3 days over some pretty tough terrain.

10:50 pace Webster, NY (unexpected trip out here as my Uncle passed away this past weekend)
I thought I was ready to run but maybe not. Short slow run where I
had to stop a few times when my ankle got tight. But, then again not
so bad based on the three tough days, overnight flight, and then early
morning travel again. Ran down Klem Road, to Holt Road, then onto a
nice off road trail which took us back to Jim's neighborhood. It was
nice to get to run with Tim and Jim (even though I kept slowing them
down).

Ok, a little bit better than yesterday. Ran in the neighborhood and actually started feeling pretty good by the end of the run.

Ran with Cynthia from Longleaf to Starkey and then back to
Longleaf. Added on a little under 2 miles back in Longleaf once I got
back. We started out pretty slow but were going at a reasonable pace at
the end. I think my legs were still a little tired but not too far off
from normal.
