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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Fun 5K with the boys this morning.  We warmed up a little before the race, then started out together.  By the end of the first mile Andy was pulling ahead and Thomas was starting to struggle.  I had Andy go ahead.  He did really well after having been over a 9 minute pace for the first mile ended with a 8:30ish average.  I think he could have done even better with a good push.

 Thomas was struggling and becoming angry so I stayed far enough ahead so he couldn't complain to but close enough so he could still see me.  I'd look back, see him take a walk break, but not too long before he was running again.

They've been interested in running more so I've been taking them for a few short runs during the week.  With some consistency and improvement they might start enjoying it more.

We did this race last year (which had surprised me then that they wanted to run it), hopefully will run it next year as well.  It's a nice run around the college campus.

Short run before needing to take Andy to school early this morning.  Cooler, still humid.  It was a pretty nice run.

Will try for another short run this evening.

5:30 am run at Longleaf

Wow! First cool feeling morning, thought about wearing a shirt with sleeves but knew I'd warm up. Easy paced warm up for 2.5 miles. Chance to talk to Marcia (rare because she's usually going really fast).

Then did 5 mile tempo run with splits: 6:52,6:53,6:47,6:36,6:35

I was a little bit tight on time, so my "cool down" mile was still kind of fast at 7:21
