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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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 Jamie in the neighborhood. Nice morning out, but back to dead legs. Kept the run kind of short so I wouldn't miss Jessica before she had to leave for work.
Happy Birthday to me!
No time to run 51 miles today to celebrate, but I did at least do 51 push-ups after the run (and I did them using the "perfect push-up" grips.
After work had a beer with Joe at Escape Brewery.
Jessica and her kids came over a little later for cake and presents and also lit Chanuka candles and presents.

Since I successfully made it to 2,000 miles, I saw that the next milestone was 2017 miles for 2017 in 2017, so did a shorter run to reach that. Still have a few more runs for the year, will see what I can fit in while traveling.

First part of my run was with Joe and Jamie, meeting about 7:15, we did just under 5.5 miles together. Then got Stella, walked her a bit and then ran from the park to the gate and back to the house (I've been slacking on running her). My legs pretty much did not feel great again.
So, I decided to try some strides to see if some short bursts of speed could help. I think I did eventually loosen up a little bit but was having trouble going very fast. After finishing 4 of them (25 seconds each), I wanted to get under 6:00 pace, I failed on the 5th and 6th one. I was only going to do 5 but then I decided I'd just keep trying until I hit the pace. Finally ran the 7th try in 5:49 pace.
Push-ups: 68

Late entry (1/4/18) - this turned out to be my last run for the year in 2017 in the US. Nice 73 degree weather, solo out and back run from my house to Trinity Blvd via Robert Trent Jones Pkwy, ran along the grassy shoulder for a bit to around the entrance to the preserve.
