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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Ran in the neighborhood. Avoided a goose egg for the day after two days driving in the car. Home by 6:30, made dinner, unpacked the car and cleaned a bit and then went out for a run just before it got dark. Back to the warmer weather so evening run was a pretty good transition.

Ran at the Y with the Striders. Joe was there, ran with him most of the way. I was feeling a bit stiff and slow at first but warmed up nicely. The air was already warm but there was a nice cooling breeze about 6:00. Could not get all 9 miles in because I needed to get back to wake up Andy for volunteering.
PM - 2.25 miles, 19:12, 8:32 avg
Did a short easy run in the neighborhood to make up for this morning and some of yesterday, feeling mostly back on track now!

It was supposed to be a 6 mile tempo run but it didn't quite work out. Started too late to avoid the sun. Route is somewhat shaded but not quite enough. Warmed up and then did 4 miles at tempo pace: 6:48, 6:59, 6:59, 7:06
I finished the fourth mile and thought I might start again to finish the last two after cooling off at the water fountain but I felt almost dangerously tired and overheated so decided just to finish out the rest of the run the best I could.

Today's run felt much better. 5:30 start at Longleaf with the Striders. Ran with Joe and Jamie for first 4.5 miles then did the rest on my own. Miles 6,7,and 8 were 7:21 and below and 9th mile was 6:53. This morning's 6:53 felt so much easier than the same pace yesterday. No sun makes huge difference. Temperature was 80 degrees and pretty high humidity - felt like swimming!

Ran with Jamie in the nbhd at 6:00. It looked like Raj might show up but couldn't make it at the last minute. Run was good, not too hot out or I've really gotten used to it.
First mile was about 10:25, last mile 8:07 but they all kind of felt the same.

Great run with Beka and Andrea for 22 miles (plus some miles with Brian, Melanie, Diane, Jason, and a few others).
Training plan had 20 miles but was better to run with others and they have a different running style from me where they like to get on pace right away and run pretty even (I usually have more drastic variations with very slow starting miles, highs and lows and a few faster miles at the end).
Starting temp was 77 degrees, mid 80's for humidity but didn't feel bad. Looped in Long leaf for 3 miles, then Starkey bike trail to Diane's house, into the park several miles and a quick stop at the shelter for gatorade refills.
Pace plan - 1 mile warm up, 10 miles at 8:15, 10 miles at 8:00 and 1 mile cool down.
Great feeling to finish this run and grateful to have so many different types of runners to run with, can learn something from each one.
Two more 20's and six weeks total until Chasing the Unicorn in August.
