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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

8 nice and cool miles with my brother Jim in Webster, NY. Ran from his house onto Klem Rd for a while and then turned onto a trail. I saw a sign but didn't read the name correctly. While running through the woods saw that there was a ravine on either side and then realized this must have been a railroad. Asked Jim who said it had been the old Hojack Line. When I looked carefully I could see remnants of old railroad ties, but most of the old gravel bed was gone and now it was just nice packed dirt. Took the trail to the railroad bridge that crossed Lake Road which was pretty much the end of the trail since the homeowner's along the lake quickly snatched up the railbed right of way a long time ago when the line closed.
Turned back and came home the same way. Nice treat with the cool weather, the wooded trail and running with my bro.

Same route as yesterday but much later in the morning (10:30), and by myself. Woke up earlier when it was still raining. Promised the kids Donuts Delite so did the donut run first then did the actual run part. Nice route again, from my brothers house to Klem Road and out and back on the Hojack Trail but went slightly farther - down the bridge to Lake Road at the end of the trail so I could run back up the hill. Also, kind of breezy out this morning which was nice.

| No running miles, but did do a nice 6.2 mile hike up Wright Mountain in the Adirondacks. Well, at least most of the way up. Sammy was struggling a bit once the trail got extra steep and very rocky. Even with help things were getting really slow, so Jim and the boys continued the remaining 0.8 miles or so to the peak while Sammy and I turned back. I took my time and stopped a few times and eventually they caught back up to me with about a mile to go. They said the trail became even more difficult just after I had turned back.
Fun and challenging time overall, would love to come back here again some time.

Felt good about this run for a few reasons. Third run of the week, good for a vacation/travel week, glad to see I'm not too dinged up from the hiking and it was a really nice day. Started from the cottage, ran a short distance to the end of the road (only a few houses but a good steep hill), then headed out past the mailboxes, past the little bridge and golf course and then onto old County Road 100 which has less traffic and a much better view of the river.

Similar route as yesterday but didn't do the initial out and back to the start of the island. Another nice day, late morning run with cool temperatures. Ran about the first mile with Jim before he split off onto a different route for a shorter run.

Drove over to the Thousand Islands Bridge and parked near the base. Ran up and over to the visitors center on the other side, headed back over and ran a bit in the grass. Did one more complete up and over but on the second trip turned at the base and ran down to the river before heading back up. Stopped at the top for a selfie and to enjoy the view, saw one ship and several fishing boats. When I reached the bottom I ran up one more time almost to the top and then back down, so about two and a half full trips.
It had been looking like it was going to rain for a while so was trying to finish before the rain but the rain never did show back up. Got back to the cottage in time for the start of the scrabble game and then dinner.
Last day at the cottage with Jim and Brian, and then the boys and I would leave on Sunday morning. It was a great visit.
