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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Scheduled for 7 miles plus 6x100m, but did a little over 6 miles including the strides. AC guy was coming to put in new dampers and Stella had a 9:00 appointment. Could have gotten a little bit earlier start but wasn't moving fast enough.
Run was good, feeling fully recovered from last week's miles.

Workout from the plan, 2 mi warmup, 3@7:28, 2 mi cool down. Ran at Longleaf on Starkey Blvd, not quite an early start but not terribly late (7:51), nice and easy first two miles, then out 1.5 miles and back for 3 miles. I didn't want to struggle to maintain the pace so I did a quicker start, although I didn't back it down much, I did however resist the urge to go sub-7:00 because I need to be patient, ran 7:13, 7:16, and 7:06. Last two miles were easy feeling due to the tempo miles but faster than usual easy miles. Glad to get this one checked off.

Out and back run from Westlake Village, over to the Pinellas Trail and north until about 4 miles out. Nice and easy for the first 5 miles (keeping it MAF), but got a little antsy and picked it up a little, still easy pace, but no longer MAF (9:00's).

Out and back run from Westlake Village, south through the cut-through then over to the Pinellas trail and then continued south until Curlew Road for the drinking fountain, then back the way I came.

Two part run. First, ran with Stella out and back on the new trail for a total of 3.74 with her. It was a little bit shorter than usual and we stopped for a couple of water breaks because she was getting hot.
Got back home, dropped her off and then was doing a loop in the neighborhood when I ran into Jamie who had herself gotten a late start. We ran together for a little bit and then I roped her into doing the 6x100m at the end of my run.

Long run, out and back up Starkey Blvd and into Starkey Park until reaching just past 8 miles and then turning back. Morning started out feeling a little bit cool although it was not really, just not hot, kind of humid. Maybe it was the slight breeze. Felt easy for the first few miles, then I was just sort of locked into a slowly increasing pace.
The schedule said last 4 at 7:57 pace but I did not look at it closely and instead though last 3. 7:52, 7:53, and 7:46. Last mile was kind of tough but at least got the job done.
Another good 50+ mile week done, although not quite as easy as the last one.
