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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Nice run along Starkey Blvd bike trail, beautiful morning. I did
close to a mile off road by running on grass and a little bit down a
random dirt road, turned back before getting lost (probably was private
property, so not the best place to get lost). I haven't run on a Sunday, especially the day after doing a long run for some time now. I was glad I was able to do it with no problems. I ran today for several reasons. Originally I was going to run with a friend who missed his Saturday run, but he ended up canceling. I was also invited to go on a bike ride with some friends, but the person who was going to loan me her extra bike did not feel well so ended up not going. Since I was there I decided to run even though I had on some shoes that were a little past their prime. But sometimes you just have to make do with what you have and be thankful you have something. I will probably take either Wed. or Thu morning off while traveling.

Nice morning for a run, listened to music for the first time in a week. Gradually increased pace as I ran. Went from my neighborhood, across Trinity Blvd to Thousand Oaks neighborhood, looped through there a bit and headed back. I saw a woman out walking who I have seen there for years. She always carries a small trash bag and one of those sticks with a claw on the end to pick up trash. She is an everyday hero.

First attempt at mile repeats in
quite some time. Wasn't sure where I was at but set of goal of doing
each one faster than eventual half marathon goal pace. Three repeats
with 0.4 mile jog between - 6:20, 6:27, 6:24. Those were hard. Maybe
try the track next time, although road is good training.

Hotel treadmill near the Atlanta airport.
Rough start, good finish. If I was up a little bit earlier I might have gotten in a little more mileage.

| Semi-planned day off. Did not get much sleep and had to leave at 5:45. Probably a good idea to take today off since I ran on Sunday so I could take one of these days off.

Very sluggish feeling start but it
got progressively better. I just had to convince myself to stick with
it. The speed sign was working today so I ran past that a few times.
One gel stop and ran in the C shaped neighborhood also. So, after a very light day on Wednesday, and nothing yesterday, I was glad to be able to get in some decent miles, even though it took some convincing to keep going. Will try for 16 tomorrow. I also noticed that in just the two days being gone we received a good amount of rain and saw that the water was up in the neighborhood ponds.

Started out with Joe, Keith,
Jammie, Victoria and a couple of others, topped off drinks at Diane's
house, then ran with her into the park. Joe and I headed back to
Longleaf. Very humid out this morning, I was drenched! Did a few
faster miles at the end. Starting temp was 79 degrees, and I think 83 degrees at the end. There was some cloud cover which helped quite a bit.
