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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Pretty rare Sunday run. Went surprisingly well. Moved up to 7 miles with seemingly no repercussions for my foot afterward.
A very comfortable feeling 9:31 for the first mile, gradually speeding up to 8:30's by the fourth mile.
So far so good with the every other day running routine.
Good part of the rest of the day spent driving down to Bradenton where Aubrey had a cheer competition. Lots of waiting around. I saw the actual routine but then spent a lot of time before and after chasing around Charlotte Dani.

Starkey Gap trail heading south from Trinity Blvd trailhead. Noticeable pace improvement today with rare sub-9:00 first mile. I'm feeling like it's taking less time for me to loosen up. Have also gotten better about a good warmup routine. Fastest mile was 7:58.
There was a couple leaving in their truck who had been out biking. The guy asked me what I was training for, so we chatted a little before they left.
At home, did another mini strength routine going two rounds with the 25lb dumbbells, pull-ups, and push-ups.

Humpday Hustle run with Daisy and Evan. Opted for the three mile route. Broke my running every other day rule but at least was more than 24 hours since yesterday's run was in the morning. Chilly enough tonight that I needed a shirt. Thought about wearing longsleeve but stuck with short sleeves.
I forgot to bring running shoes so ran in my walking shoes which are just an old pair of running shoes (Skechers Gorun, starting to fall apart).
Yesterday morning's run felt great and I had visions of every run after that feeling easier and being faster. Alas, back to reality. But still, not a bad run.

Surprisingly good feeling run. First sign was sub-9:00 first mile which are starting to make a comeback. 7:35 last mile.
Out and back run, heading south down the Starkey Gap trail from the Trinity Blvd trailhead.
This weekend will be busy, ending with a flight out to Salt Lake City for almost a full week work trip.
