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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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 Keith and Eudair from
Longleaf up to Starkey and back with some looping through Longleaf at
the end to get to 10. We started out pretty slow, got a little faster,
but kept it easy. Nice run with lots of people out for their runs.
Keith had time for a cup of coffee at Havana Dreamers, also had a guava
pastry which was great.

Quiet and introspective run, went by quickly. Cool and pleasant, first time in a while I didn't come home drenched in sweat. Grateful to be able and willing to get up and go for a run.

Woke up a little confused about
what day it was and where I was going to run. My first thought was that today was Wednesday and I was going to go to the spin class. Then I remembered that it was Tuesday and I should go over to Longleaf. No, that's not right either, go over to the Y! Fortunately, figured it
out in time and went to the Y. Warmed up and then did 4x1K repeats with
paces of: 6:09, 5:51, 5:57, 5:59. Much cooler out today than even
yesterday which was nice. Based on how out of it I felt when I woke up I
was pleased to be able to pull it together and run some fast repeats. Ran some of my cool down with Beka and Melanie

| Rest day for the week instead of Sunday since I ran that day. For more complete rest, skipped spin class and slept in until 6:30, time enough to get moving and then wake up and get the kids ready for school. For dinner I made my first attempt at curried lentils and rice. I found this recipe , but when I went to the store they only had green curry paste instead of red. Still came out really good, I will make that one again sometime.

07:28 pace Went to Longleaf, arrived about 5:15.
1 mile ez pace warmup with Eudair, as she had gotten there at 4 something and had already been running for a while.
Then ran 2.5 miles with Joe and Steve before starting the tempo portion. 5 mile temp run - 6:26, 6:23,
6:29, 6:20, 6:24. Then about 1 mile cool down. Wore my light today and
enjoyed the still cooler temperatures (about 74 degrees, although still humid). Rest day yesterday was good as
well as lentil/rice fuel for dinner last night.

Simple run around the neighborhood,
decent weather, great big orange moon to see just above the horizon.
Ran by Lisa and Tori as they left the water fountain. Saw several other
runners out this morning, some of the regulars and some I had not seen
before. I guess this was a "bread and butter" run.

Ran from Longleaf with Joe to
Diane's house where we caught up with several others and ran with them
into the park. Ran by myself after leaving the park. On the way back saw Chris A. near
Aristide, talked to him for a bit while we ran. I picked it up the
last two miles - 6:50, 6:37. Earlier in the run I decided to cancel
the pick up at the end, but decided to just go ahead and do it as I
approached two miles left. It was a crazy but rewarding week glad to still get some miles in and feel good at the end of the last run for the week. After the run I did something that I often want to do on a Saturday morning. There were several garage sales going on nearby. I bought an iHome clock/radio/iphone dock for my son and a very nice key west looking painting.
