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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Felt a little bit better than expected after yesterday's flight back after a pretty busy day in Virginia and Maryland (did not make it into DC this trip).
One loop inside Westlake Village. Felt like I was one a steady pace but was faster than planned for the last mile (down to 8:26 pace after starting out at 9:45 pace for first mile).

Trying running every other day so walking today, followed by some weights at home.
I sometimes throw in short bursts of running but not today. Was a nice morning out. Parked at Trinity Blvd trailhead to Starkey Gap trail and walked to SR54 then turned back.
Got back to the house just as Andy was changing air filter downstairs.
Weights. A few weeks ago, for the first time in a while I picked up the 25 lb dumb bells and attempted shoulder press. Could barely do 5 repetitions. After picking them up more since then, today I was able to do 3 sets of 10 reps each. Also did some squats, curls, rows, push ups, and two sets of pull-ups. Something to help fill in for the lack of running.

| Walking 4.06 miles in just a few seconds over an hour. Southbound down the Starkey gap trail from the Trinity Blvd trailhead.
After the run, did mini strength workout. My old "better than nothing" routine but just did 2 rounds (classic was 3 rounds).
2x 26 "perfect" push-ups, 8 pull-ups, superset 10 shoulder presses/8 curls, 10 squats.
Dumbbell weights were 25 lbs each. By "perfect" push-up, I mean the as seen on tv rotating push-up handle things.

| Walked 3.61 miles in 54:05, Westlake village through the south cut through and then past the YMCA, then a little east before turning back.
Wanted to run but sticking with every other day for now.
