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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Things sure did warm up. Felt like I was melting , but despite that maintained a decent pace while sticking mostly to the shade. Finished up with some strides up and down the street in Foxwood.

Trying to make sure I don't ignore workout runs, but not on any program at the moment. I decided on 5x1200m repeats. Didn't quite stick to that goal.
Ended up with 4x1200m followed by 2x400m
1200's: 5:10, 5:31, 5:03, 5:15
400's: 1:42, 1:36
For the 1200's, first one felt ok, thought to myself "I got this", second one fell apart, although it was a lot more uphill. Third one was good, thought ok, maybe I do got this. 4th one was back to meh but at least I hadn't given up completely.
For the 400's - first one was not any faster than the good 1200s, but then finally for the last one was back to my goal 5k pace.
It was definitely better than nothing , and these will pay off on the next 5k.

Big square loop around the outside of Westlake Village. Run felt good today after yesterday's harder run
PM 4.04@8:45
Evening run with Humpday Hustle group. Ran out 1 mile with Lucas before he turned around, then caught up with the three other guys at the two mile tree, stopped for a bit until Patty caught up to us. No Daisy this week, she's out west someplace.

Ten good miles, heading out from Westlake Village to Pinellas trail and then north to Klosterman Rd and just enough there to make it out just past 5 miles before turning back. Stopped briefly both ways at the fountain outside of Wall Springs Park, not a cold water fountain but water nonetheless.
Wow, today was first time over 10 miles since June 4th.

It got warm fast. Did not get out of bed when planned. A was up crying that she could not sleep and the baby woke up too so I calmed the baby while Jessica tended to her older one.
Warmed up with a loop inside WLV. Had my watch programmed for 10 x 25/50 (25 seconds fast, 50 seconds reovery). I wasn't quite getting up to the speeds I wanted but I did plow through all 10 without stopping.
Keep pushing.

First long run of the month even though month is almost over. Goal today was no stopping, start early enough to get back by 9:00. Carried my fuel belt with 16oz bottle and also a pack of sport beans. Headed towards Pinellas trail via Eniswood and the sidewalk near Conservation Park, then headed south to near the base of the pedestrian bridge. First mile 9:35, last mile 8:20. Everything in between was ok. There are no traffic lights on this route and the road crossings weren't very busy.
Today was Jessica and my fifth wedding anniversary. We had dinner at Mystic Fish while her friend Emily watched Charlotte Dani. Our very first dinner out without the baby (whose pretty much not really a baby anymore). After dinner, we drove to Rocky Point and stayed at The Current hotel. It was nice, all new looking, and nice view of the bay.
