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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

2+ loops inside Westlake Village. I felt sluggish starting out but otherwise not bad and no dead legs feeling. So, the first mile was a little bit slower but I made up for it eventually with a pickup at the end.
Reward today was one more notch up on vo2 max to 51

Ran from my house down the trail past Lake Dan until Keystone Rd and then maybe about 0.2 miles on Keystone before turning around. 9:25 first mile and 8:44 last mile. Other miles were right around 9:00 pace.

Ran a few loops through Westlake Village, each one similar but slightly different from the others. Was pushing it a bit more on the last full mile, down to 7:22, and then just a little bit faster for last half mile.

Ran in Palm Harbor but didn't want to do a lot of loops or a big out and back. So, instead I did one short loop inside the neighborhood (1.25 miles), then headed onto Alderman and up Belcher before turning back just after the school, then west on Alderman until almost at Alt 19, then back to Westlake Village and finished with the loop I started with.
First mile was about 8:40, next three miles I ran progressively slower trying to keep the heart rate down. On the final return and finish loop started to pick the pace back up doing the final 0.63 at a 7:18 pace.

Quick shorter run from my house to just past Lake Dan and then back. First three miles were somewhat easy pace with the remainder about a 7:30ish

Similar to yesterday's run, but a little bit farther and was 8:47 pace rather than 8:20, so not so much like yesterday's run except maybe the route.
This was supposed to be my long run day but as has happened a lot did not get a very early start. This time, I couldn't just suffer through the late morning or early afternoon heat.
Tom's graduation was today at 11:00 am (after having the time and place moved a few times).
All things considered it was a nice ceremony. They had groups of three chairs (graduate and two guests), six feet of space in either direction, out doors (football/track field).
After graduation, I installed the new kitchen faucet to replace the old leaking and falling apart, now I just need to fix the rot from the water.
But, overall it was a good day.
