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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Workout 3 x 1 mile, goal pace 6:41
results: 6:34, 6:43, 6:30
First one felt good, thought workout was in the bag. Second one started out ok but then I was off pace although stayed faster than 6:50 at least and toward the end sped up enough to almost make goal pace. Third one felt a lot better. Run was in Westlake Village going back and forth and second one had slightly more uphill than down.
When I started the run it felt coolish but also a bit humid (74 degree temp with 72 degree dew point, cold front on its way at least).

10 mile marathon pace run, trying to stay under 8:00 pace average, first two miles in 7:50's, then into 7:40's until finally 7:31 for the last mile. Once again no stops.
I did wear the "super shoes" (Brooks hyperion elite) with the thought that I'd feel more quickly recovered for my Saturday long run. I don't feel that much faster in these shoes but I did feel like I recovered quicker after Santa Rosa marathon than in regular shoes.
Anyway, run was up and down Starkey Blvd as well as a shorter out and back inside Starkey Ranch. Starkey Park gate was closed, maybe still some flooding in there, but trail up and down Starkey Blvd in good shape.

Ran in Palm Harbor with starter loop inside Westlake Village, then a big loop around the outside of Innisbrook area, finally returning back to WLV to finish up about a mile and a half.
The training plan said 8:10 pace, but I just wanted to get through it without stopping and maybe finish up the last 5 miles a little bit faster and not feel like I was racing the workout.
It all seemed to come together, no stops and average pace ended up being not far off from 8:10. After I finished 10 miles, it didn't feel hard to pick it up, at first was aiming for 8:00-8:15 range but was quickly on sub-8:00 pace. As I got off the Pinellas Trail, at the crosswalk there was repair person working on the crossing light, so cars weren't stopping, had to wait for a gap, after crossing, also took one last gel, then there was a little up hill, so that mile just missed sub-8:00.
Last 7 miles - 8:05, 7:59 (unknown until later, was already at "pick up pace"), 7:45, 7:52, 8:05, 7:40, 7:29
Have 20 miles next weekend, then start the taper
