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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

More walking than running, but no slow jogging, it was either a comfortable normal feeling run or brisk walk. Ran in Foxwood, then over to the new trail, south almost to Keystone Rd, and then back the same way. Overall a pretty good recovery type run.

Palm Harbor, Alderman, Pinellas Trail, Klosterman, Belcher loop, with a short run through Eniswood. No intervals, just easy running. On the edge of true easy but still easy.

Did 4/1 run/walk from Westlake, across Nebraska, then down the Pinellas Trail until reaching the top of the pedestrian bridge over Alt 19. Turned back around the way I came. Kept it very steady throughout with a very small pickup at the end to get under 11 minute pace

Ran in Foxwood neighborhood with Jamie, a little bit of a later of a start. Pace was conversational, temperature was a bit warm as would be expected. Jamie had her watch set to 5/1 run/walk so we just went by her watch's beep.

This was similar toTuesday's run. 4/1 run/walk from Westlake to the pedestrian bridge near Ozona, but also added a little loop at the very end for just a little bit of a longer run

22:07, 28th overall, 1st Grand Master
It was rainy and humid before the race (low 80's). The 10k starting at 6:30 was delayed by 10 minutes, so the 5k was going to start at 7:40. But, then it started raining heavier, so they pushed the start to 8:00. Between the rain I got in a pretty short warmup (only about a half mile total). First saw Jenny and Andy, and then Tom. Saw several friends, including Joe running the 10k and Daisy was back here on vacation. I've not done nearly as much speedwork as I wanted and with the rain and various other things I didn't have right (like not having a Beet-it beet juice shot), wasn't sure how things would go.
Race started and felt ok, the line thinned out quickly and for a brief time I could see Tom up near the front and then he was too far a way to see. (just two years ago I was just a little behind him for most of the race and then snuck past him in the last mile). Robin Patterson was in front of me for a little bit but I was able to catch up to him (he's pretty serious about his 5k's and looks pretty much the same at 69 as he did at 55).
I was just sort of hanging on and I didn't have a specific pace in mind, although I was hoping to try and at least tie my time from last year. But, I was also just trying to enjoy the race. So, I just kept on trying to pass up the next person I could get to.
Got to the finish line and saw that the clock was down due to the rain. It turned out that Walter from the Striders was right behind me by 4 seconds (he's 57 and just retired from the Air Force), so I guess I had to work to win the over 50 award.
Saw Tom and then found out his time, 17:02 and second overall (beat by a 24 year old guy running 16:27), big PR. The last 6 weeks of heart rate training have really helped.
Went back to my house and did another 4ish miles.
So, overall it was a pretty fun morning.
