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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Decided to try Humpday hustle run, ran with Daisy and Lucas and Daisy's oldest son. Asked if we could do 4/1 run/walk, said ok. Run was a little better than expected.
Garmin had me back at 54 for vo2 max compared to 53 on raceday (marathons usually show 1 higher than my training runs but this time was 2 lower).
Was going to do a walk in the morning but instead did some commuting walk. Dropped off Jessica's car at shop, walked to work (about a mile) and walked back later when it was ready.

6:30 am run around Westlake Village, wore headlamp so cars could see me, streets are lit well enough for me to see but not be seen. Felt almost back to normal.
Garmin put me back to 55 for vo2 max, where I was before the race. Maybe I'll try another marathon soon to see if it was just an "off" day.

A couple of loops inside Westlake Village, felt really good starting out like I could go faster and keep the heart rate low, but it slowly drifted up. Still, pretty easy overall. Decent weather at least.
Tom got a new 8K PR today in Huntsville. Would've been nice to go, should be able to get to one coming up soon in Tallahassee.

Up and down Starkey Blvd, from Longleaf to a little bit inside Starkey Park, 5 miles each one. First half took it easy. Started at 10:10 pace for first mile, 5th mile was 10:07, easing back from 9:30 pace to keep my heart rate down. But, after the turnaround starting going faster, but stuck with 4/1 run/walk. Last mile was 8:03, possibly a new record for 4/1.
Good to get 10 miles done but maybe go a little easier while just one week out from the marathon. Itching to get back to training and working on my 5k times but also getting in some volume that I need to get through the 100 miler in January to get the 500 mile belt buckle.
