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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Today was a pleasant surprise. I ended up with just over 10 miles. It's been a long time since I did 10 or more on a week day. I just felt pretty good so I decided to go a little farther.
Neighborhood, then out to Kinsmere for a loop there, before heading
back. Warm out again, 3 water stops. Another good Monday run.

Met with Claude and Jean at Bayonet
Point Middle School, warmed up with easy 800m, then did 400m x 12
(1:23-1:26 range), with 1:30 rest between (walking around), 1200m cool
down, then when I got back home did 1.7 mile loop to fill in some miles.
400's were good with Jean leading the way (except for one of them!) This was a good workout for me since it really got me going faster than I have run in a long time. It was mentally challenging to do 12 intervals and to keep up. Half way through the workout I realized I'm running with Jean Claude - yeah, they had heard that one before and when they ride their bike with their wives they are Jean Claude and the van Dames.

Did Nancy R.
's one hour spin class then went for a short run once I got back home
(to water fountain and back). I can't say that the classes are getting
easier but I'm starting to feel less lost. I think I'm feeling some
increased leg strength which I could feel during yesterday's track
workout. Another benefit, is it seems to be fixing up my hip issue. It does make it hard to not miss some running miles but I'm ok for now.

Good run with a valiant attempt at 2 mile repeats. Warmed up with a
little over 3 miles at an easy pace, mostly running with Joe. Goal was
to do 2 x 2 mile repeats at faster than 6:40 pace, with 1 mile easy run
between. First set was 6:39, 6:34, then the second set was 6:37, 6:42.
I really struggled on the last mile and was at first not breaking a
7:00 pace, but I worked my way down and almost made it to sub 6:40.
Warm out again with high humidity so I'm not going to beat myself up,
this run was a success, also happy with total miles today. Brought
pumpkin bread which kept me up too late making it last night (I kept on checking it but it stayed like soup for a long time) so a bit
tired from that also. The pumpkin bread got eaten up so I guess it was worth being a little bit more tired.

Mostly relaxed run around the neighborhood and along the golf course. Weather was better this morning than yesterday.

Great run this morning with Joe G,
as well as various guest appearances and cameos from many others. Started out at Longleaf just after 5:00, did a loop through that neighborhood, then headed up Starkey Blvd with stop at Diane's house for refreshments before heading into the park for a bit, then turning around, back to Longleaf.
Joe
had 20 miles on his schedule and I ended up doing almost all of it with
him. We were at a 9:00 average up to mile 13, then gradually picked it
up. Weather this morning was a blessing. Wore my new $38 Brooks Launch
- thanks to Keith for the online coupon. Feel grateful to get another good week of running. With the volume going up and some more focused runs, started to feel a little more confident.
