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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Finally, at least a short run. Ran on Isla Verde beach not far from the hotel. Ran about as far as I could before I'd have to wade through water to get to the next section. Run felt pretty good.
Last full day here, early flight back tomorrow morning. Trip was a success with lots of time together, some sightseeing, restaurants with local dishes, beach time, cocunut leaf hats, fresh cocunut milk from a cocunut, and a big drink from a pineapple with a Puerto Rico flag sticking out.

| Travel day. Return trip a success, but lost our cocunut leaf hats due to USDA regs. Lost a bottle of hot sauce I forgot to put in checked bag, and one bottle of body spray also not in checked bag. Could have been worse, everyone back ok. Baby was good on the flight.

Well, that didn't go so well. The knee pattern the last couple of weeks was a small amount of pain for the first half mile while warming up and then feel better and feel fine after the run.
Today was opposite day. No problems warming up or any time during the run. Ran one lap in Foxwood, then biked a lap, then ran another lap.
Not too long after my run, knee felt horrible. Lots of popping and crunch, hurt to sit down, hurt to stand up, walking not much fun. Not sure what I did to it this time.
Fortunately, this is almost three weeks in the future and it has gotten a lot better. I'm basically where I was before today. Slowly getting better but I'm going to take some rest days, start back walking, then run/walk and then go from there.
Talking to my brother, who's had two knee surgeries. He's since learned to give his knees time to "calm down" and has so far prevented a third knee surgery.
