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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Ran in Hilton Head, SC.  Was warm and humid but trail/sidewalk was mostly shaded.  Just trying to get in a few miles instead of 0.

Ran inside Westlake Village, 2.5 mile warm up and then did some hill repeats up Sandy Hook and then back down Village Way running in a loop.  Was not going very fast until the last one which was near 6:30 pace, should've tried for one more.

Out and back run from WLV to Pinellas Trail and North to Conservation Park for the cold water fountain, then reverse route back to the house.

This would end up being my longest single run for the week.

Got out the door early enough to warm up and start the run at 6:03 am.  Wanted to get in at least 6 miles and then have time to shower and be on the road by 7:30.  Ran a couple of loops in Westlake Village.

On the road a little after 7:30 (getting closer to 8:00,but at least it was before 8:00).  Drive to Tallahassee with Jessica and baby and a bunch of Jacob's stuff in the minivan.  He's starting his college career with summer session.  Made pretty good time both ways with only one stop total.
