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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Shorter, out and back run in Westlake Village. Was supposed to do more but cut it a little bit short due to busy weekend after the big run in North Georgia. The shorter easy run definitely helped as I felt much better at the end of the run compared to the beginning. 50% less clunky.

Workout of the day is 2x2mi repeats, goal was about 7:25 pace. Started off from my house, headed to the new trail, ran out a little and then dropped off my water bottle at the start. It's about 2 miles to Keystone Road.
I didn't want to miss getting my goal paces so decided to run just a little bit faster. First two miles were 7:15 and 7:09.
Rested a little bit (slow jogging), then returned with next two miles faster at 7:05 and 7:04.
It had really warmed up by now so glad to find my drink bottle still very cold inside. Easy jog back to the house for the remainder two miles.

Simple, easy, out and back run from Westlake Village, over to the Pinellas trail and headed south for a little bit then turned around and came back.

5x1k workout with goal of 4:16 (6:51 pace) per repeat.
Ran on Starkey Blvd from Longleaf, warmed up for 2 miles, then started repeats from the bridge, leaving my drink bottle there so I didn't have to carry it while I ran. Thinking back to my past these times should have been easy, but today I had to put some work into it, but no way was I going to to not do the job.
Splits: 4:12, 4:09, 4:12, 4:09, 4:06
When I stopped to get my drink bottle, accidentally saved the run so had to hit start again to finish the cool down, so this showed up as two runs.

Ran with Jamie in the neighborhood (Foxwood). It was just slightly cooler but I think the humidity was lower also. After the regular running part, finished up with 6x100m strides. Heart rate was surprisingly good today. Maybe due to combination of: 1) running with someone else, 2) run/walk, 3)lower temperature and humidity.
Tom and Jenny had run here earlier so there were some donuts left over but none of Andy's coffee. I'll have to ask him to save some for me next time.

Started out solo from my house, heading over to Longleaf where I met up with Jamie and Cynthia so I could run a few miles with them.
Next, we headed up Starkey Blvd (saw Tom as he was returning from his run) and then into the park and over to the shelter where we talked to some of the Striders and I got the last gatorade. As we headed down the side trail to the shelter I noted my mileage of 7.3. Since I wasn't going to take the detour on the way back I'd have to go out a little more than 9 miles to get 18 miles total.
Said goodbye to Jamie and Cynthia and headed further into the park. My math was a bit off. I think I went out to about 9.8 miles which would end up making my run too long. Picked up the pace a little bit. Weather was getting warmer and I was looking forward to an ice cold drink from Circle K. Arrived there at 17.3 miles total. Went inside and got my favorite mix of Powerade topped off with a little Mountain Dew Voltage.
Made it home ok, a little over a mile more than planned for the total run, not too far off from a 20 mile run which I'll do soon.
