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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Ran with Dan French at Croom, got started from Tucker Hill about
8:00 with some light rain which helped cool things. This was the first time I've been back to Croom since April for the 50 mile race.
The first part of
the trail was like a sandy creek cascading over roots (so just managed a 12:07 first mile). The rest was in
pretty good shape. We took the orange trail looped around to Croom Road
for about 6.2 miles, then did Croom Road the rest of the way back. I
never realized how hilly Croom Road was. Picked up the pace on that
portion for a challenging last few miles (last 3 miles were sub-8:00). I needed this run today and was not sure if I would have run if running alone. Dan
was ready to cancel due to the rain but I got his message late (when I was 15
minutes away), so he changed his plans and came out to meet me. Got home, stretched a bit, ate, vacuumed, mopped and did laundry, next will be some shopping and maybe a little more yard work.

Early enough start to finish before 7:00. Saw several familiar
faces out running this morning. Warm but not too warm, legs felt pretty
good after yesterday's trails and hills. Did a few exercises for stretching, core and a little bit of strength, although not as much as I'd like to do. But still, better than nothing.

Showed up a few minutes late and
had trouble getting garmin to work, so I was alone starting out. Did
the three intervals this morning, a little faster than last week - 5:49,
5:47,5:40 paces (the intervals are about 1km each, more or less). For my cool down I caught up with the fast girls and
ran with them for a bit. Temps were a little nicer this morning.

Started out with Joe and warmed up
with 2 easy miles, then did a few strides to get ready to go faster.
Did 5 mile tempo run - 6:32, 6:25,6:36,6:35,6:17. I struggled mentally
on the 4th mile - thought it was going to be a lot slower but was able to get back into the groove. Felt strong on the 5th mile. Several big puddles to
dodge, glad I wore my light this morning. I had extra energy this morning for some reason as well as the temperature being right at 75 degrees which seems to be a threshold for me between warm and cool.

| Pretty good start time, right at 5:45, with time to do a small warm up before that. I've started getting up about 10 minutes before my alarm, each time hoping I still have a couple more hours of sleep but seeing it's only a few minutes.

Basic run around the neighborhood. Good to go slower after yesterday's tempo run. The morning's of running while it is light out are gone for now, to make a brief appearance when daylight saving time ends. Hints of fall are in the air.

Good run with nice weather and a
lot of people out running this morning. Pace was pretty consistent today with the first mile right at 9:00 and the rest of the miles between low 8's and high 8's. I tried running today carrying just one water bottle rather than wearing a belt with two water bottles on it. Worked out pretty good, maybe a little better than the belt.
Ran at times with Joe, Cynthia,
Eudair, Jammie, and Victoria. Finished return trip with Cynthia. One
last drink stop from Steve's cooler (thank you!).
