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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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 in the neighborhood, started a little bit late and montiored heart rate, keeping at 132 or below which meant a bit slower than usual today but not my worst heart rate run.

Ran at the Y with the Striders. I wore an old pair of Skecher's Gorun. Ran slower on purpose but took a break from the preciseness of heart rate monitoring and decided a good compromise was to not go faster than 9:00 pace. Weather was pretty decent and I felt pretty good throughout the run.

Ran just under two complete loops around the neighborhood. Kept heart rate at 132 or under, with an average of 128 bpm (spiked a little bit here and there but quickly brought it down) so this was a pretty good run as far as pace vs heart rate goes. Hopefully will see some more gains in heart rate pace.

Ran at Longleaf with the Striders, specifically ran with Fronasty (aka Fro-fro the barber among other names). Did not wear heart rate monitor and also my ipod was dead so happy to have someone to chat with. We seemed to get progressively faster. Last mile was about a 7:30 pace.
I'm thinking maybe of doing heart rate training every other day.

Ran in the neighborhood and stuck to heart rate monitored training. Average pace ended up being a little bit slower than Wednesday, including the first mile. Pace mostly stayed the same vs keeping heart rate at or below 132.
A few things I've noticed, besides being at a slower pace, I have no desire to stop for a drink or anything like that. I'd rather just keep going and I have no big desire for a gel or gatorade, and finally once I'm done I have an urge to do a second run later in the day (which I haven't done yet, though). Usually a second run is more like because I have to, but now I've been wanting to do one because I want to. Definitely has been interesting.

Ran with Jamie at Starkey park as well as criss-crossing many of the other Striders for the big group run. Also, ran into Dixie on the way back who turned around a little early so he could run with us.
Did some very easy miles at first, then a little bit faster, and then the last 4 miles were 8:30ish. Legs felt very fresh today and felt like I wanted to keep going.
