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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

50ish degree weather for a nice run. Solo neighborhood and t-shaped route near golf course. First run with "new" (refurbished) Garmin Forerunner 630, I'm actually pleasantly surprised so far. At the end of my run it congratulated me for 4 achievements! - fastest 5k, fastest, 10k, fastest mile, and longest ever run. It reminded me of what that was like to start running and everything was some sort of new record.

Just an easy out and back run by myself from my house to just past the water fountain on the golf course. Nice, cool morning. Trying to shake the dead leg feeling but grateful I can move injury free heading into the marathon weekend.
Also, wrapping up second biggest running month mileage this year.

| No running again today (like yesterday). Making sure to get some walking in (10,000 steps on garmin 630).
Stella is getting walked a little more.
Chronic dead-legs feeling might be starting to fade slightly.
Push-ups: 44

One last taper run before the marathon. Legs still feeling dead but maybe just a tiny bit better with the time off. Ran with Joe and Jamie, nice morning out.
(I forgot to do my pushups).

Flew to NYC, my brother Jim picked me up at the airport and we drove to packet pickup, then checked into our hotels, had lunch and then some "light" sightseeing which turned into 18,000 steps or 8.7 miles according to the garmin 630.
Highlights of the walking were Rockefeller Center, Trump Tower, Central Park (where a small crowd of people were fascinated with a black cat sitting high up on a rock), and then attended mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral. The priest who said mass was going to run in the race this year, his second marathon despite having two artificial knees. He invited all the runners up to the altar for a blessing (hundreds came up, perhaps even 1000, while the organist did a stirring rendition of "Fanfare for the Common Man" - which previously I only knew of the Emerson Lake & Palmer version used on CBS Sports Spectacular).
