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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Somewhat short and sweet inside Westlake Village.  Did the 3 mile loop and then added some on with up and down the street action.

Ran north from Trinity Blvd trailhead, crossed SR54 and ran out to Cannon Lake, then looped back on the new road back to Starkey Blvd and then back to my car.

In the evening, went with Jessica, Aubrey, baby and me to Poke restaurant in Trinity to meet up with Jenny, Andy, Sean and Tom for Tom's birthday dinner.

Out and back run from WLV, through Eniswood, up Alt19 to the Pinellas Trail and then sharp left south out 3.5 miles, then turn around and come back.

After 10:07 first mile, rest of the miles were between 8:31 and 8:48

Ran on Starkey Blvd bike trail.  Warmed up about a mile, then ran 6 mile tempo, first mile at 7:42 and last mile at 7:11.  Slowed down for the remaining part but slowly picked it back up for 8 mile to run that one at 7:40 pace, so 6 miles ended up being 7 miles.

Then only about a third of a mile run back to the car at an easier pace.

Headed out due west to the Pinellas Trail taking the shortest route to get there, then up north and kept going until just past the tunnel that goes under US19, ran back the way I came, ran a little bit south of where I started on the trail and ended up finishing in downtown Palm Harbor, grabbing a muscle milk at the gas station for post run recovery then across the street to deBine's for some more refreshments.

Did 7/1 run/walk the whole way.  Pace progression was somewhat similar to if I had just run with no walk breaks, but overall the breaks made it seem easier.

Yesterday morning my foot was kind of bothering me a little bit, but with the easy start and mostly easy running it didn't bother me at all today.
