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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Last ran this race in 2022 (2023 did Lutz 5k and 2024 did Firecracker 5k in Tallahassee)
This year was nearly a minute faster than the last time but also slower than this year's RAP River Run.
This race is always hot and humid. Thought I could go out fast and try to hang on, but after maybe about 1/4 mile running in the 6:40's I was struggling to stay under 7:00, first mile 6:57, second mile 6:59, last mile 7:00. At least I didn't fade too much.
It had been raining earlier but stopped for the race. I had to slow a little bit each time going across the draw bridge. The metal grate section felt pretty slippery and definitely did not want to fall on that surface. So, three slight slowdowns - bridge on way out, turn around, bridge on way back.
Age groups were a littled different here, with me being in 56-60. A friend of mine who just turned 60 and thought he'd be safe from me since I'd normally be in a different age group ended up in second place.
Despite the training runs where I do 1k or 1 mile repeats at sub 6:30 pace, can't seem to manage hitting a mile on race day at those paces. I'd be happy even if I could get that first mile and then slowdown after that. Going to try and extend my warmup next time, and maybe race during daylight and perhaps not across a slippery steel deck, and stop making excuses.
AM (the "next" morning") - 5.74@10:56 - 1 hour easyish in Westlake Village

Long run/workout consisting of 8 x 1 mile @goal MP.
Tried this run a while back but failed miserably because I waited until the afternoon.
Did pretty ok this time - 7:45, 7:41, 7:33, 7:35, 7:38, 7:42, 7:38, 7:24
One minute easy between the repeats. Ran this while looping in Westlake Village, probably pretty close to the longest I want to run just staying in the neighborhood.
