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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Warmup then 4 x 4 minutes at around 5k goal pace (actual paces a bit faster than actual current 5k pace but hopefully working toward that goal pace).
0.62, 0.63, 0.63, 0.64 - so around 6:20 pace average for these.

Another run in the books, a little bit faster than last year by about 7 seconds with a time of 21:05. First and third miles were about even (3rd mile 0.3 seconds faster than first), second mile (as is often the case) was a problem comparatively, that one was 6:56. This was the first time wearing Vaporfly shoes.
Splits: 6:47, 6:56, 6:47, 0.1@6:16
Number one unforced error this year was lack of warmup, just over 1/2 a mile including strides. My best ever 5k's have usually had a 2-3 mile warmup.
Expected conditions, hot and high humidity and a crowded start. Tried not to look at my watch during first 400m but did happen to see something like 7:15. Get out of the crowd and pass a few people then I'm more at the pace I want to be, around a 6:45- really I'd like to get out at a good start, 6:30 or faster and hold on as long as I can.
But the crowded start is not my problem, it's that second mile really.
Tom was running the 10K which started an hour before the 5k. Two of my friends were also running the 10k and saw him a few times on the course as it looked like he was closing the gap on the first place person but in the end finished second place with what I think is a new PR of 33:24
Saw many of my friends, before, during and after the race. This race is kind of like a reunion of runners I've met. 5k sold out this year. Will be back next year.
