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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Informal Labor Day run get together with Jamie, Jorge, Renee and new guy, to Diane's house and back, crossed paths with the Galloway group. Was chatting a bit after 7.1 miles when Tracy, Carrie, Ben and Laura said they were doing another 1.5 so I went with them on that.

Ran a little bit over 8 miles with the Striders at the Y. When I got home, it seemed like a good morning to add some more on so I did two more miles in the neighborhood.

House to golf course to Trinity Oaks to Y back through Thousand Oaks and T.O. East then home. Refilled water bottle at the Y and enjoyed 15 seconds of AC. There was a really fresh dead turtle on Trinity Blvd that smelled horribly.

I showed up just a little bit late and then garmin took a while to lock in. On the first out and back I turned early to run with Jamie and Heather who had started earlier. We ran out to Aristide then back. I woke up with a headache and the run made most of it go away.

Ran with Jason, Melanie, and Beka at their easy pace in Longleaf. First two miles about 9:00 and then the rest 8:15 or so.

Nice change up from my usual Friday solo run in my neighborhood.

Starkey Park run, 6:30

Started out in the park and met with Jamie, Jamie, Jorge and Dixie. We did an out and back, cooler temps were nice, but no water at any of the water stops was not so nice. It was Jamie's second 10 miles, so 20 miles for her.

Planned to meet people at Croom tonight at 8:00.  It turned out the meeting time was not 8:00 but 7:00 so I would not end up running all night like I was contemplating.  They were going to run 52 miles (for one of the guys 52nd birthday).  This would have given me over a 100 miles for the week.
