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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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've always enjoyed running this race and regretted each time I missed it.
Ran by myself this year, Jacob was not able to make it and Tom is between regional championships (past Friday) and states (this coming Saturday).
Weather was good and plan was to do the best I could with even splits. It's two full loops around the campus with one out and back hairpin.
Splits were: 6:29, 6:33, 6:33, and 0:39 for the last bit (5:39 pace)
My pace was failing a bit in the third mile, but I was trying my best to keep Jason W. within my sights which helped a lot. I remember three years ago when I ran with Tom and Andy. Was behind Jason for much of the race then but got past him in the third mile. This year he put some more distance between us in the last mile, finishing at 19:52. I came through at 20:14
This was "slower" than the last 5k but my splits were much more even and this course wasn't short (although I did get a faster first mile at the last one).
Looking forward to coming back next year, maybe with one of the boys (or girls).

5x1km workout after two mile warm up. Ran from my house to start of Lake Dan trail for the warm up. Ran down the trail and was turning around halfway through the third one. Goal pace of 4:00/km or 20:00 5K pace.
Splits: 4:01, 3:58, 3:58, 4:06, 4:01
So, pretty close overall, but a little bit of a slowdown for the last 2.

Out and back run from Westlake Village over to the Pinellas Trail, headed north just past Conservation Park (quick stop there), and then back the way I came.
Pushing the pace a little vs heart rate, but not too crazy, probably should stick closer to below 133 to keep it easy.

| No running for me today.
Instead, was in Tallahasse to see the cross country state finals meet.
It was very well done, with a huge screen to watch the race so you could see parts of the course that were hard to get to as a spectator.
Tom ran extremely well with a course PR of 17:02 and his second fastest cross country time. Over 30 seconds faster than when he was here for the pre-state meet. There have been some ups and downs for him this season but was super happy to see him end on a high-note having made it here when he could have given up when things got rough.
Had breakfast with him and Jenny afterward at Cracker Barrel, then I headed to Jacksonville to meet up with Jessica, Aubrey, and Sophia for their friend's Bat Mitzvah (just the party, I missed the ceremony).
