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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Ran with Joe, Jamie, and Lisa in the neighborhood. Conversational pace throughout although it sometimes felt like I was going faster than I was. Nice to have the company.

Ran at Longleaf with the Striders. They have decided that the traffic near the Y is too busy in the morning to be safe. Probably a good idea but I'll miss Tuesdays there.
Ran mainly with Joe and a little bit with Tom C. Wore heartrate monitor and was happy to see that the pace I felt like running happened to coincide with 122-132 bpm range. Weather was good (was a bit warmer and humid yesterday).

I decided to do a little bit of a tempo run. I was short on time so had to split it up so actually it was more like tempo intervals. Did about 1.5 mile warmup and then did three faster miles at: 7:01, 6:39, 6:53
The break was in the middle of the second mile (stopped my watch, woke up Andy, then started again). Couldn't seem to keep my legs moving fast enough during the first mile but not too bad for just over a week after marathon.

Ran with the Striders at Longleaf, ran mostly by myself, up and down the Starkey Blvd bike trail, but I did pass coming and going several runners I knew. Heart rate run today which looked like it was going to be a little faster at first but then I had to back off a little to stay under 132 bpm. But, still, it's a good HR run pace compared to where I started at.

Ran in the neighborhood with Joe. Had to cut it short a little bit to get back on time (and because bathrooms I was hoping to use were locked - needing to go while on a run is a pretty rare occurrence).

Ran up and down Starkey Blvd, also in Aristide neighborhood and a little bit in Starkey Park. Time and distance a little bit of guess work since my garmin died about 5 miles into the run but was able to reconstruct from other people's times.
Started out with Renee, Cynthia, Joe, Michelle, and Jamie. Group up after the out and back in Aristided. Michelle, Cynthia and I ran into the park and then picked up Rob for a few miles before he split off.. Morning started out nice and cool (best day so far this week), but got kind of warm during the last few miles where I slowed down a little bit.
