  • Sub 40:00 10K
  • 2:59 Marathon
  • 1:25 Half Marathon

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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

New standard out and back 8 mile run, from Westlake Village, past the Y, over to the Pinellas Trail until reaching the corner of Curlew and Alt 19, and then back the way I came.  1 minute running, 3 minutes "easy" either jog or walking, with slightly increasing paces as the run progressed.   Time on feet.

Part 1 - 1.25 miles with Stella.  We saw Joe and Jamie, Stella was very excitied.  While running back towards the house, the strong pulling seemed to strip something inside the retractable leash so it would no longer retract.  Poor retractable leash, it used to belong to Chelsea.

Friday Lake Dan run

Part 2 - went back out, onto the new trail down to Keystone for a little bit before turning back, picked up the pace and did two faster miles at 7:25 and 7:15, and then backed it down to 8:02 for the last mile, overall pace of 8:10.

Started out from Longleaf near the little church, wanted to get some distance in and intended to do mainly heart rate mafetone range, but stopped looking at heart rate after the first mile.

Ran into Starkey Park to the shelter near the bike parking to say hi to some of the Striders and grab a gatorade and some ice.  Continued back out onto the main trail until about 8.5 miles out total and then turned back.  Skipped the detour back to the shelter and stayed on the main path.  Miles 9-16 were mostly between 8:00 and 9:00 pace.

Hadn't done 16 miles in a while and overall the run seemed to flow nicely.  Good finish to the week.
