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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Slept in a little bit and procrastinated a bit looking for splits at the Space Coast Marathon, then finally went for another garmin-less run. Did 6.2 mile route, then out to gate and back for another mile. Last mile was 7:58

Did 2 mile repeats with Jean, Beka, Melanie, and Diane. Easy warm for 1 mile, then did 3x2 with paces of: 6:44, 6:47, 6:46. Half mile between repeats, then a cool down. Splits were supposed to be a little bit slower but since I'm still garmin-less it wasn't my fault!

Out and back for 4 miles, woke up the boys, then ran a little bit more. Comfortable low 60's. Slower start, a little bit of a pick up at the end.

5:00ish start with Cynthia, looped in LL, then picked up the two Jamies at 5:30, then to park and back via Diane's house. Much better weather than last 20, felt good today.

Thanks go out to my friend Lisa, who gave Andy a ride to the local airport community where he, along with her son, were going on a flying trip.  It was a good morning for flying and they each had their first experience flying in a small plane as well as getting some "stick time".  I picked them both up when they were done, worked out well.
