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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| I didn't run this morning, thought a day off might be good just so I could know that I could take a day off if I wanted to. I did take Sammy for a walk, and then did some weights around the house, and some core work. In the evening I went to the boot camp that my wife teaches and had a great workout there. It included one mile of running, which was a warm up lap before class, and then the cardio portion which was 3 times doing a lap followed by 50 jump ropes. I can almost make it through 50 rope skips without missing. Much improved from where I started!!

Ran with my favorite running buddies Jenny , Chris H. , and Lisa R.
as well as a run into Carin and Cherise (pretty much anyone who runs
with me is a favorite running buddy). Nice cool weather and good times.
I couldn't ask for anything else, I want to clone this run. This was the first run since Jenny's 50K where we ran together and her spirits about running were better. She had been suffering from dead legs or something. Tough to run on those. Was very happy that her legs were back to normal.

5.46 in 47:33, 8:42 pace Ran with Jenny and Lisa in the neighborhood. We ran together until almost all the way home then Jenny said she had to stop and walk and told us to go ahead. I made it part of the way back home but then told Lisa I couldn't leave her there. It wasn't very far from home and she told us to go ahead, but it just didn't feel right. Wasn't sure if she wanted me to come back for her but it felt better to err on that side. This morning was the first time that I wore my Brooks Launch in a while and felt good in them. When I was on my way to injury it seemed like a needed a more cushioned shoe, but today they felt fine. PM - Did Jenny's boot camp, partnered with Sean as usual on Wednesdays. Good workout except I kind of bombed out on the boat pose contest at the end where my legs started shaking after just 1 minute and I could just hang on for about 1:30. No extra laps tonight, just the warm up lap (1/4 mile).

Ran in the neighborhood with Chris H. this morning. Jenny is tapering this week for her marathon at the end of next week (Savannah R&R), and Lisa was going to run later. Perfect temps for running. Kept the pace EZ.
Shower, quick post run mobility exercises, and then left early-ish for work, so dropped off older son at his bus stop and stopped by the Vet's office on the way to work to get Barbie some pain pills. She's hanging in there but her appetite is eroding away a little bit more each day it seems.

Light ran this morning, actually alternating between light rain and no rain. Headed out just after 6:00 with Jenny and a group of her friends. We ran into a couple more people that we know. But shortly after that, everyone decided to turn back early because it looked like there was some heavy stuff on the radar. I was going to turn back, too. Jenny said why? you usually don't mind running in the rain. I usually don't but there have been a few times when I wished I hadn't but if it stays nice and light. So, when we got to where everyone else was splitting off to go home, I kept on going and decided I'd turn back (or seek shelter) if it got really bad. It never did get bad. I headed a couple neighborhoods over, where I don't run much anymore. I saw my friend Raj out running. He was out doing a quick loop from the Y before lifting weights. I talked him into joining me. We talked and caught up on things. It was a bit of luck to run into him like that. Kept the pace easy and relaxed. I had only been planning on about 6 or 7 miles this morning but ended up with a little over 10. So, take it when you can get it. It's nice when you run and it feels good, feels so good that you run more than you planned to run just because.

Ran up Starkey Blvd to the park and
back with Raj. I forgot to set my alarm but woke up when Raj texted me
to say that he was running late. Started at 6:00 instead of 5:45, so
not too bad. Light rain most of the run but pleasant. After the run, took Thomas to bowling since Jenny had an early client to see. In the afternoon we took turns spending time with Barbie. She was not able to walk, so Jenny carried her out in the backyard. It was a nice day out. I sat down with her for about an hour or so then took the kids to their afternoon music lessons. After the music lessons, we gathered the kids together and said it was time. So, we all went to the weekend vet together to say goodbye to Barbie. It was a sad and tough time for everyone. It's time to remember the good things, let go and move on. She will be missed. It's times like these to remind yourself to appreciate what you have before it's gone.
