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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Relaxed Sunday morning run with the
group - Keith, Eudair, Jammie, Ed, Greg, Rene
I got there for the "late" start at 6:00 (a bunch of people started at 5:30). Legs were a little
tired at first and feet sore, but felt better after the first mile. Weather was pretty good, but the company was the best part.
Enjoyed some coffee at Havana Dreamers after the run along with some
banana bread from the last of this year's backyard bananas.

I wasn't going to do intervals
today, but I ended up picking up the pace to almost interval pace (6:35)
for a half mile, so changed my mind and did 3 more of approx 1K each at
paces - 5:54,5:47,5:58. Did some cool down with the fast girls.
Delicious frosted blondies brought by Charley after the run along with
Clark's coffee for a few minutes before I had to go. The group was a little smaller today, with a good number of people having just run Chicago on Sunday.

| No running today, just did the 1 hour spin class I do on most Wednesdays. Today was my day off of running this week instead of taking off Sunday which I have done most weeks in the past.

07:34 pace Ran at Longleaf, meeting up with the group at 5:30.
This morning was the cool weather I've been waiting for, but I was
feeling slightly off at first, so took it easy for two and a half miles.
Shortly after I started 2 x 3mile repeats that I had planned to do, I slowed back down and
took it easy for another 2 miles. I then did 1 faster mile (6:24) where
a good part of the speed came at the end as I thought to myself - it's
just making your legs turn over faster, why is that so hard? which did
make me go faster. Rested about a half mile easy then did 3 fast miles
(6:37,6:29, 6:12), followed by a short cool down at the end. I'm glad I
didn't stick to my original plan but did what I could do instead. At
the end of the run I had missed just about everyone except for Clark and
Cindy who still had some coffee out.

Another nice fall Florida morning, dark the whole run but a very
bright crescent moon with Venus right next to it. Saw several running
friends out this morning.

Cool weather and cool people to run
with. 5:30 am start. I brought my headlamp but the batteries ran low.
From Longleaf and into Starkey Park and back. Running with
Cynthia, Jammie, Victoria and a few others on the way up and return trip
with Cynthia. Missed the turn around point by a little bit so
accidentally added on and extra mile for 16 instead of 15. As usual,
appreciative of Diane's hospitality for her "lemonade stand".
