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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| Didn't do too much today. Went to the Y, did some cross training, stretching and ab work. Practiced going from warm up to marathon pace quickly and comfortably. I'll do a few runs this week to keep myself loosened up. | | Add Comment |

| Short and fairly easy run this morning. Weather was perfect in the low 60's. Warmed up and stretched inside the Y. Ran 0.6 miles on the treadmill to practice a short warm up before starting a run. Warm up must have worked because it was easy to get on pace quickly. Started out and saw I was in the low 7's, since this was supposed to be an easy day I backed it down slowly to do the first mile in 7:30, did the next two miles a little slower, then the 4th mile at about 7:30. Average pace outside: 7:40 Buffalo weather forecast for Sunday is looking ok, 40% chance of rain (I'll be happy if I don't get dumped on the entire way), low 50's, 13 mph wind from SW - slight tailwind would be sweet. But, of course, you get what you get.

| The weather went back to be a little bit warmer this morning, some humidity and some wind. Despite this I was feeling pretty good at the start of the run. My warm up mile felt a little bit easier than usual. Did 4 miles at tempo pace, with the first mile feeling really good, the next 3 miles didn't feel as good but they weren't too bad either. Splits were: 6:35, 6:41, 6:48, 6:43 I had originally wanted 4 @ 6:39 but I decided to just go with what I could do and not risking pounding them out with bad form and risking injury. Cool down felt pretty good and after a short recovery I was back on 7:20 pace which felt easy. I did get a small side stitch at the end of the run but I think it was from the new water belt which I had on a little bit too tight. Average pace for entire run: 7:27

| 4.1 easy miles on the treadmill at Gold's gym with my brother. Getting ready for tomorrow's marathon. I had been thinking about running outside but it was raining and although it might have been good preparation for a possibly rainy marathon, I didn't want to risk getting sick. | | Add Comment |
