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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Short and easy run, across Trinity Blvd and then down a little bit onto the Starkey Gap trail heading south before turning around.

Wanted some more mileage today so planned on 10 miles and also wanted to do a steady but easy pace which I did not end up doing. Too fast to be easy to but too slow to be tempo or marathon pace, but overall seemed ok.
Westlake Village to Omaha and over to the Pinellas Trail heading north to Klosterman which I ran on just enough to get to the 5 mile point before turning around.
Little did I know, this would be the longest run of the week.

| 6.12@8:15 5x1km workout
Retry of 5x1km workout with net improvement of 1 second faster when adding up the times. I felt slightly off but wanted to try it anyway so felt pretty good at hitting the same splits as when I felt better. Maybe could've seen some improvement if not feeling off.
Splits: 4:11, 4:18, 4:06, 4:17, 4:09
Looking for 4:12 average so I can then starting looking at hitting 4:00 and under for these.
Did not make it to humpday hustle run in the evening. Had to take care of moving the boat to storage facility. Original plan for storage fell through and boat had been "driveway surfing". HOA at my parents neighborhood not happy, so finally found a place with an open spot. Was a bit stressful moving it but glad it got done.

Did big square loop around outside of Westlake Village, and then about another 2 miles inside.
Going to try a longer run tomorrow, maybe 10-12 miles with some tempo, maybe 8 miles, starting at marathon pace and getting faster.

Woke up this morning with unexpectedly poor recovery according to Whoop band - 3%, deep red, high respiration, poor resting heart and low hrv.
Cut back expectations and just put in some easy miles. Ran north from Trinity Blvd trailhead to 54, felt ok, so then did a short out and back going south.

| No running today, was going to try and get in a few miles after watching Tom's meet but left foot was hurting a bit. It had been feeling tight , maybe like PF, but was a little worse today.
Meet was at St Leo University, technically, across the street at the Abbey Golf Course. Tough looking course. For flat Florida it was quite hilly. Pretty big meet with ages ranging between elementary school 3K to Collegiate 8K.
Tom did well, only about 10 seconds off his race at Tallahassee but I know he's looking for more based on what he can do in the marathon and half marathon. He's putting in the work so I know he can get there.
Next scheduled race is in Chicago on 9/30. I found a $78 airfare on Frontier so going to try and watch it.
