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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Similar route around outside of Westlake Village as usual with a small loop tacked on inside at the end, adding a little over an extra half mile to the usual.

| 4.3 miles walking in 1:02, or 14:26
It was mostly walking with some random bouts of jogging here and there. From Trinity Blvd trailhead, south down Starkey Gap and then back to my car.

From Westlake, over to the Pinellas Trail and then north to Klosterman for just enough to go out 5 miles.
Behind on back to back long runs. Today is almost a long run, will do something over 20 miles tomorrow.

| Part A - 16.91@10:47
Part B - 5.51@9:25
Broken up slightly into two parts because when I stopped to use the restroom, accidentally saved the run.
Part A was from Palm Harbor, north up Belcher, right onto Klosterman and then crossing over US19 (scariest part of the run), then north along the sidewalk with quick pit stop in Anderson Park before continuing on to Keystone Road. Ran along Pinellas Trail until Eastlake Road, then took a left and then a right onto Trinity Blvd
Ran along the grassy shoulder to get some time off of the pavement. Right hand turn into Fox Hollow area until reaching the Starkey Gap Trail, then headed northbound, crossing SR54 then stopped at the bike shop for a Celsius (it was grape!) and some shot blocks. Then continued to Starkey Ranch. Brief restroom break at Cannon Lake where I accidentally saved the run.
I had been running 7 minutes on and then one minute of walking up until this point. Pace was slow and steady (faster than 100 mile pace, but maybe a good pace for 50 miles or 100k).
Part B was from Cannon Lake back to my house. This part was faster with no running breaks, just easy running. Glad I wasn't stuck in the slower pace after the slower running in the first part.
On the way back, stopped in the bike shop to grab a second Celsius (again grape). But I had paid for it already so stop was much quicker.
After the run had a beer with Andy and Stella at Escape Brewery and then Jessica came and got me. So, had some time hanging out with Andy, baby, Jessica, and Stella at one of my happy places.
Two Celsius were probably a bit to much caffeine, but oh well.
After this, had enough energy still for a trip to Busch Gardens (crazy crowded this time but still fun).
