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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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 started out feeling clunky, but the last two miles were pretty good, so it was all good in the end.

Run in the neighborhood and a little bit into the next one, returning back on the grassy shoulder of Trinity Blvd (stopped a couple of times to pick sand spurs off of my sock).  Nice weather and grateful for another run that made me feel better for doing it.

I'm going to run the Komen 10K tomorrow in St. Pete.  I ran it last year and missed breaking 40:00 by a few seconds.  Looking forward to seeing lots of friends and supporting a good cause.

41:35, 11th place overall, 1st age group.

Fun and challenging race in St. Pete this morning. Started out on track for 40:00 but was not able to hold it.

6:20, 6:26, 6:40,6:33,6:46,6:36, 0.35@6:22

I'm not sure if the 3rd mile I lost motivation or just couldn't hold it, very hard to tell sometimes.

Neil C. was there and I focused on keeping him in sight for a while but he was running strong and continued to pull away. By the sixth mile I felt done and felt like jogging the rest. However, a woman in black and purple passed me and I decided to keep the pressure on her hoping that it would be a benefit to both of us and I think it worked.

Fun to see lots of familiar faces and very grateful for Renee to be the driver and warming up before the race.
