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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Ez run around the neighborhood.  A little bit cooler than expected, so pretty nice for July.  Getting back to normal.  Hopefully a good six days in a row this week.

Ran at the Y with the Striders. Hint of coolness again this morning. No intervals but found some speed to run steady for the last three miles.

Toes are getting back to normal.  I talked to a PT friend while running and mentioned my numb toes and he said it sounded like something that will come back slowly, something about 1 mm per day or week (can't remember exactly).

One more step back to normal. Nice thursday run with the Striders, mostly by myself except about a mile at the beginning with Michelle and trying to catch up to Beka and Jason.

Day 4, just two more days to call it a back to normal week!

Got out the door telling myself I just needed 4 miles, 3 if I really wanted to be lazy. It was cooler than expected so I ended up with a little more. Sure glad I made it out the door.

Sometimes you really just have to convince yourself to get out the door even if you don't see how it could possibly make a difference.  It pretty much always does.

14.36 mi, 02:12, 09:13 pace

5:30'ish start from Longleaf with Dixie and Cynthia (as well as some others who left a few minutes before us). To Diane's house and into the park and 1 mile with Jamie before turning back. Slowed down on the return trip, didn't feel the best (although not horrible), so took it easy and kept it slower.

My foot was hurting after the run where that tiny rock had been (it would get better throughout the day and be back to normal by Sunday).

First week back to 6 days!
