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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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 and Lisa in the neighborhood. We started off easy then did some 1k repeats at Lisa's 5k goal pace - at least that was the plan. Was aiming for about a 7:20 pace, what we got was: 7:04, 7:03, 7:23, 7:04, 7:38
The fourth one was actually a little bit short because after slowing down on the third one I said lets just run to the water fountain, so that one was more like a fartlek and was 0.45 miles instead of 1k. Kind of faded on the last one. Was hard to keep her on an even pace because she wants to take off quickly out front and doesn't do as well following next to or behind. But, still a fun run.

Ran at Longleaf with the Striders, used HR monitor and kept rate at or below 132 bpm.
I still had my garmin set to kilometers for the splits from yesterday's run. Other than that I don't remember too much about that run but I guess it was pretty good!

Another easy day of running. Ran by myself in the nbhd - usual suspects were unavailable to run with but I did end up crossing paths with Lisa towards the end of the run. Pace vs heart rate was pretty good with easy feeling pace matching up with in range HR.

Ran on Starkey bike trail with the Striders. Was able to get in a little bit longer for my run. Wore heart rate monitor and kept rate at 132 or below.
While on Alico Pass a dog ran towards me but stopped at the edge of the yard, most likely invisible fence. HR briefly spiked until I realized the dog was stopping.
When I got back to the parking lot everyone had left except for Clark and Cindy who were about to pull out, but Clark had a cup of coffee waiting for me, then he left.

Ran with Jamie in the neighborhood. I almost slept in after falling back asleep but waking up about 5 minutes before I was supposed to meet her. Get ready quickly and out the door. Ran easy which was good because I seemed to have some soreness in my legs which wasn't going away which I think I finally was able to shake.
