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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

A good effort at getting out early enough to be finished by 7:00, but not quite getting in 9 miles. I thought it would be cooler out so I was dressed a little too warm. Ran in the nbhd, overall it was a good run.

Ran at the Y with the Striders. Chilly out (mainly because of the wind), but fortunately I wore a hat which came in handy when the rain started (and thankfully did not last long). Started out with Joe who took off on his tempo run after a 1 mile warmup.
Good run, and hopefully on track to get all the miles of each run this week.

A very tough run this morning. It was the coldest day so far this year. I had to do a lot of bargaining with myself to start and then get through this workout, but so worth it for the feeling of accomplishment. I think I should have one run per week, challenging enough so that the thought of it scares me. Getting back some speed and fortunately for the recent 5K have regained some confidence.
Goal was 5 x 1mile @ 6:24 with 0.5 mile jogs for rest breaks
splits: 6:43, 6:26, 6:14, 6:19, 6:08
Obviously not completely warmed up for the first one, almost hit my goal for the second but then nailed the last three. Much better than my last attempt at mile repeats.

Longleaf with the Striders. Second cold morning but better than yesterday. Nice run today.
Right leg acting up a little, keeping an eye on it.

Run in the neighborhood.
6 miles, woke up the boys then back out for two more. Much warmer today but still not quite sleeveless weather for me. I had headed out the door, then turned around and came right back in to put arm warmers on, then back out again.

Longleaf-Starkey-Longleaf.
Started with Jamie in Longleaf at 6:00. She was planning on 12-15, rooked her into doing all 16. Light rain throughout most of the run, started coming down heavier last couple of miles. Run went by quickly and the pace felt easy.
And this concludes week #7 of training for the Clearwater marathon. It was a challenging week to actually stick to the plan but it's been increasing my running confidence knowing I can put in a little bit extra when I have to.
