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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Cool and slightly breezy, right at 50 degrees. Just warm enough for sleeveless shirt and shorts after warming up inside first. Went to the Y, did bike warm up, core and stretching then hopped on the treadmill for 4.22 miles at about an 8:15 pace. Then headed outside for another 4.05 miles at 7:34 pace average. Run felt good with the cool but not cold weather. Quick cool down on the elliptical and then some leg extensions and lat pull downs. About a mile into the outside portion of my run, I was entering into a neighborhood, on either side of the road at one point are ponds and swampy areas. I saw a river otter run across the road to get to the other pond, I continued running and his friend started to cross, I had gotten closer and I think we almost crashed into each other. The second on kind of looked at me and showed its teeth at me, not quite as friendly looking as I normally see them when in the zoo and behind glass! But still, pretty amazing.

Special treat today! I was able to run with Jenny. Since Jenny's sister and her family are here we can both go out at the same time without making kid arrangements. I went with her on her usual 6 mile route (my seven year old calls them "trouts"). We chatted the whole way and kept a pace that felt good for both of us. We had briefly considered going to the Y this morning and running side by side on treadmills. That would have been silly since it really was not that cold out at all, just under 50 with a slight breeze. Average pace: 9:16 Tomorrow I will go with her to the track where she has to do 4 X 1600 @ 7:37 and a total run of 8 miles with warm up and cool down.

| RUNNING WITH JENNY PART 2 - THE TRACK Another very nice morning for running, warmer than yesterday (a few more degrees and it might have gotten into mildly uncomfortable). We went to the track today, this was the first time going for Jenny since high school. Jenny's sister Amy also came with us (she likes running loops :) ). We ran into Keith and Dixie in the parking lot and talked with them for a few minutes before heading across the field to the track.
We did a 1.5 mile warm up then started on her 1600's, goal was 4 X 1600 @ 7:37 She did really well getting the job done, no complaining, just kept going. I tried to keep us on an even pace but we would seem to get a little faster on the last lap and sometimes both the third and 4th lap. Splits were: 7:32, 7:26, 7:26, 7:24 We did 800 jogs in between the 1600's. After finishing Jenny asked me to do one 400 to see what I could do. I was kind of curious myself so I said ok. She held the garmin and to use it like a stopwatch so I didn't know exactly my time until finishing. I started out and felt a little sloppy around the first corner, then felt like I was not pushing as hard as I could on the first straigthaway, but then made myself move faster and my form felt better. Finished in 1:15 which made me feel good. Jogged a few more laps for the cool down.

| These miles were all run at an easy pace but they were not all easy. Ankles and shins especially in my left leg were very tight. I stopped a couple of times early on to stretch out. Eventually I was able to keep going and it eventually turned into a pretty good run. Weather was great, although temps were creeping back up slightly. I ran down the old road to Trinity Blvd. and then into Thousand Oaks neighborhood, with a loop around Kinsmere before heading back. Average pace: 8:17
Had a great day later on with a trip to the beach where the water was calm and clear. Felt cold at first but you got used to it quickly. Kids had a great time.

| 12 miles with my beautiful wife Jenny on a beautiful morning in Starkey park. Weather was perfect especially at the start, slightly warmish by the time we finished. Ran a pretty steady pace throughout with a pick up the last 2 miles. Average pace: 9:16
