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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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 at the Y with the Striders group. Easy warm up then decided to
do 4 x 1k repeats. First one was slower and felt the hardest so wasn't
sure if it was going to work out, but the next three were a bit better,
the fourth one felt great but I was foiled by the 6:30 bus again,
paces: 6:14,5:48,5:49,5:52 Then, ran a little bit farther for the
cool down. Wore new shoes today: Brooks ST5
Stood in picture with Mike S.
to celebrate 1000 miles. He had a disclaimer that it might not be a
big deal to some people. But it IS a big deal! He has transformed
himself from where he started.

Easy paced run around the
neighborhood and a little over a mile running on the grass alongside
Trinity Blvd. Short sleeve shirt today, strawberry banana gel. Saw a
woman get out of her car to talk to a guy driving a pickup truck, she
was telling him about an almost flat tire on his trailer, just being a
good Samaritan.

Ran at Longleaf this morning, 5:30.
Didn't get much sleep last night,
so decided to not do a big tempo run since it is getting close to the
race - I thought I could do more harm than good. Thought about just doing six but felt pretty good when I got to
the turn around spot for 6, and went a little farther. Nice morning
run, perfect weather and some good company. Maybe I will try some pace practice tomorrow.

Thought it might not be such a good
run at first. It reminded me of a foggy morning a few years ago when I
had a frustrating morning at a race. But it turned out ok. I stopped a
few times at first which I do sometimes on easy days. Mid way through
the run I felt a lot better. Ran almost two miles on the grass along
Trinity Blvd. Did 3 strides at the very end for leg turnover sake.

Since I wasn't going long and I have a race tomorrow, I drove into
the park and got started about 6:45ish. Ran with Jamie, Jamie, Mike and
a couple of other people. It was foggy and cool out, great relaxing
run. The big group wasn't there due to tomorrow's race.
I stopped for coffee on the way home, then ran some errands.
When I got back home someone had posted on Facebook that I was picked
for Western States 100. I couldn't believe it. Had trouble getting
through to the website but someone sent me a link to the lottery drawing
and I saw them pick my name. I've got some training to do now :)
