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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Despite the slow speed this was not an easy run. First day of vacation in Cabo San Lucas at the Pueblo Bonita Sunset Beach Resort. Resort occupies the side of a hill. After going to the pool for a bit, decided to run, but didn't feel like changing. So I ran wearing swim suit and water shoes. Water shoes actually worked out pretty well, felt like barefoot running except with protection.
I started out going up a pretty steep hill. I was at more of a walking pace even though I was running between the incline and running in water shoes. Ran over toward another section of the resort where there was much construction - so the path I was on would end some times, I'd switch to the road and then back to the path. Turned back about 1.3 miles into the run and then passsed by where I started from and headed onto the beach. The sand is pretty course and not packed in tight which made it difficult. Ran to the resort boundary on the beach then another tenth of a mile to make it 5k. Just past a rocky point was the small beach area called Pedregal Beach. It felt peaceful there, much quieter. Looked like it was mainly private homes but there was public access to the beach. You can't swim in this area (either by the resort or Pedregal Beach) due to very dangerous currents. Near the resort they have a few lifeguards that make sure you don't get too close.
One year anniversary today. We would do a photo shoot a little bit later then go out for a nice dinner at the resort's Steak House.

Resort had a nice fitness center with great view of the water. Did some random weights, about 10 minutes on the bike, and then 20 minute run on the treadmill.
This would be my second and final run for the week of vacation. Although, I really did do quite a bit of walking including a lot of steps and hilly paths.
