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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| I had a little bit more time this morning, so I came closer to what I should be doing on a daily basis which is 6 miles. 5.1 miles on the treadmill, just under 40 minutes with the first 3 miles easy, 2 miles at about 7:30 per mile, then a brief cool down at the end. Followed with 30 minutes of upper body weights. | | Add Comment |

| 5:30 morning run at the Y. David, Randy and I showed up. It was already a warm and very humid 76° at the start of the run. Had a nice easy start (about 8:30 for the first mile), then Randy picked things up a bit after about almost 2 miles which we kept up until a short water break. David picked things up after the break and I kept up with him. The air was very thick and it was noticeably harder than usual. The pace progressive got faster with the last two miles at 7:07 and 6:43, then cooled down a little bit for the last .3 Overall pace was 7:22 | | Add Comment |

| Ran by myself this morning. Picked another run from my upcoming marathon training program. Today's run was one of the temp runs, much more attainable than the last track workout I tried. I did two miles easy, which ended up being a about 8:10 each, then the goal was two miles at 6:54 - this turned into 6:49 and 6:51. I wanted to hit each mile at 6:54 but I was afraid of coming in too slow so I did each one slightly faster than goal. Last two miles were supposed to be easy. The fifth mile was 7:35 - a little too fast for easy but it felt much easier compared to the previous two miles, then the final mile was just over 8:00. Average pace was 7:34. This run was challenging but not all out, felt pretty good when finished, then did about 20 minutes worth of lower body weights. The weather was about the same as yesterday, about 76° and humid but it didn't seem as bad for running so maybe the humidity was down slightly today.
I didn't get much sleep last night because my older dog kept on waking me up to go out, she does this from time to time. She's very persistent when she does this. Then I kept on waking up also. My wife woke up a few times. No one was in a great mood this morning.

| Ran at David's house again this morning. Raj and Randy were also there. Some of the others who might normally have been there were on vacation or had other commitments. Met up about 5:40 (10 extra minutes of sleep!). Did a nice easy pace on the way up, stopped and grabbed a water then headed back. Back was a little bit faster at about 7:50. Average for the round trip including the break was 8:16. Temp was about 70° and humidity was not bad, pretty much perfect out. Had some bagels and coffee after the run on David's porch. | | Add Comment |

| A little bit over 5 miles on the treadmill this morning. Easy pace for most of it with a slight pick up at the end, then a gradual slow down for the last 0.1. Total time was 41:30 or about 8:09 if my math is right. | | Add Comment |

| 6:45 run this morning with Joe and David. Looped through some slightly different routes for a partial change of pace. Weather was not too bad with some cloud cover blocking out most of the direct sun. Last few miles were starting to feel hot with a temp about 84° and humidity there but not terrible. First 10.5 were with Joe and David then I headed back out for a few more. Pace was pretty good with the second half faster than the first half. We were thinking about maybe starting these Saturday runs a little bit earlier to avoid the heat. Average pace for entire run was 7:47
