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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Run in nbhd and golf course. 3/4 of the way through the run I rolled my ankle pretty badly, stopped and yelled for a second, walked a bit then started running back slowly again. Maybe it will hurt later but at least it didn't feel bad at the time - then I would have really been in trouble. Hopefully just a close call.
Other than the scare it was a prett decent Monday morning run.

Ran at the Y with the Striders. Did sorta random intervals, most of the 1/4 mile at various paces between 5:54 and 6:54. Humidity was way up this morning, on the verge of rain and there were several huge puddles which in a couple of places compeltely blocked the road and in some other places forced us onto the sidewalks.

Pretty good run in the neighborhood, almost really good except I had to stop briefly when my left hammie tightened up, which has never happened to me before. After that happened, slowed down a little and concentrated on running relaxed and it seemed to get better. Humid but a little cooler than yesterday w a slight breeze. Did the nbhd loop and out and back past the golf course.

Pleasant run in the neighborhood (two loops to start with) then out and back past the golf course and a side trip through another neighborhood whose gate happened to be open. A couple twinges in the hamstring early on but then better behaved for the rest of the run. Nice weather again.

Out and back from my house to the Y. One stop at golf course water fountain and stop at the Y to take a gel. Not a good time of morning to be running since it was near the start time of the HS which is next to the Y. Weather was very nice, though.
Got beeped at one person (who later texted me to claim responsibility, lol), and saw another friend I hadn't seen in a while.

Out and back run. Pleasant morning, saw a deer standing right next to the trail edge, didn't run away when she saw me. Also saw a rabbit which hopped away slowly when I came near. I did not see the big buck everyone was talking about and fortunately did not see the alligator that was out earlier this week. Some light sprinkling rain on the way back. Easy pace to start with and slowly got faster after the first 7 miles. Tried to do the last mile under 7:00 (without staring at the garmin the whole time), but wasn't quite there and was 7:05 instead
