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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| Met Dixie at 6:00. Ran to the hilly neighborhood and then did 4 hill sprints up the church driveway on the way back. I was dragging a bit this morning and Dixie was leading the way and towing me along. Finally was feeling stronger at the end of the run. Good to end the run on a high note. Average pace: 8:18

| Slightly cooler morning with a breeze, felt nice running into it. Ran with Jenny and we both had a nice run this morning, easy and consistent pace. Average pace: 8:35

| Ran on the treadmill at the hotel. I had thought I was staying at a different hotel which adjoined an office park and quiet road with some hills, but not this time. Treadmill wasn't so bad but I was running a little short on time. Started out real slow, then was mainly at an 8:00 pace with a few short surges into low 7's to pass some time.
Average pace: 8:12

| Jenny and I were supposed to run together this morning, but it was dumping rain when we woke up. So, Jenny headed to the Y for the treadmill and I waited a bit for the rain to slow down. Finally started running about 7:30. It was pretty nice out, a few sprinkles and an occasional medium sprinkle but mostly clear. I had thoughts of cutting the run a little bit shorter but already felt behind after yesterday's shorter run. Glad I was able to manage fitting in 8 this morning.
Average pace: 7:57

| Slept in a little bit this morning, but not as late as yesterday. Got started just before 7:00, already pretty warm and humid out. I felt slow starting out and was wondering how few miles I could do today and still make 50 miles for the week. Fortunately the run got a little bit better the farther I went and pretty soon I was on my way back home and soon had over 8 miles for the morning. Never judge what the run will be like based on how it starts, just keep going.
Average pace: 7:54

| Went to Starkey park at 6:00, was there just a few minutes early. Waited for Dixie then got going, we ran together to almost 5 miles out, then he turned around (he had started earlier and had already gotten in 5 miles). I ran out to the water stop on the Suncoast trail before turning around. Ran into a group at the 5.5 mile water stop and ran with them - David, Derek, Diane, Alex, and a new lady whose name I have already forgotten but I'm sure will remember next time. We headed back and then I picked up the pace a bit. I was glad this wasn't going to be a longer run because the heat/humidity were getting to me a little bit but I held onto the pace pretty well. Average pace: 7:55
Spent some time at social hour then gave Jorge, Victoria and Steve a ride back to their car.
