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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Simple Monday morning run, quiet and peaceful, saw several of the
usual runners and walkers out this morning. Stronger hint of fall in
the air.

After yesterday's cooler temps,
back to summer temps today. But, I'll take that challenge. Warmed up,
then ran 4 x 1K repeats (up 1 from usual 3). (paces) 6:09, 5:48, 5:54, 6:05.
First one, I was getting warmed up. The last one was going better but
an SUV was in one lane and a bus was coming the other way so I went up
on the grass. All good though. Today's run was what I needed.

Nancy's spin class at Family Fitness for 1 hour, then short run
once back home. Did an extra mile compared to usual Wednesday short
run. Felt better than what I thought it would feel like. Lesson relearned - don't count on a run being bad, just go out and see what happens. There will be bad runs now and then but we can't predict when they will be.

Scrapped the 2x3 mile repeats and
ran easy for first 6 miles, then 4 mile progression run for last part
finishing at 6:34 pace. The run was better than I had hoped for in the end. Ran
with Joe for the first few miles, then fell back a bit. Ran with
Michelle up to the bridge then by myself into Aristide, then back to
Longleaf. I forgot my headlamp this morning which was also part of the
reason I changed my plans. I went to bed tired last night and woke up tired, but somehow managed a pretty good run despite skipping the actual speed work. After the run, I crashed for a bit then got going. Will make an effort to get to bed early again tonight.

I used one of the new sidewalks today on Little Road, came back to
Trinity Blvd through a different route, then ran along the grass back to
RTJ. The weather felt like Monday. Was hoping to get in 7 miles, nice
to go a little farther. After the run, I actually did some strength exercises. These had been getting on the slippery slope of being skipped altogether. Felt less tired this morning than yesterday morning. Tomorrow morning I may run on some new hills in the Brooksville area with some friends.

Drove up to Croom this morning, arrived just before 6:30 and did
2.6 miles before Dan and Chris showed up. I ran the first part on Croom road. Although I had a headlamp with me I wasn't ready to hit the trails yet.
Ran 10 miles with those guys
then did a obstacle course mile by myself on the very rooty south trail
(10:10 pace). I was dragging the first few miles and was way behind for
a while but caught up when they took a break. Picked up the pace for
the last trail mile to about a 7:40 pace. We were off road for about 6.4
miles, then took Croom Road back for the rest of the 10 miles. Nice
surprise to see Drew and E in the parking lot after the run. It is a little bit farther of a drive to get up here but the change of scenery is well worth it.
Wore my old nimbus shoes which are no longer on the shoe manager.
