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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Started in Longleaf about 5:04, ran to Melanie's house to meet her, Jason, and Jean who were all doing 5 miles (averaged about 7:50 with them), then out onto Starkey Blvd to the bridge and back for just over 10. Cool but very humid - steam rising off me every time I stopped.

Two part run. 5:30 start with Melanie, Jean, Jason, Diane, and Jolene. 1 mile warm up then 4 x 1.5 mile repeats (800m rest between each). Garmin quickly died so ran "blind". I think the first one was 6:38 pace, second two were like 6:50ish, then last one at 6:14. About 1 mile cool down then met up with 7:00 group. Ran with Jamie and some more with Jolene then a bit with Liz on the way back. Had coffee and some snacks (lots of food brought for Christmas eve morning run).

Christmas morning run, started 10:30ish, still cool out and sunny, a beautiful morning. One loop around the neighborhood, then down Trinity Blvd on the grassy shoulder for some "trail" running before heading back the way I came.

Woke up feeling not so sure if I could run a long tempo run, arrived at Longleaf almost late. Wavering during the warm up about whether to just run easy. Decided to hang on with the group (Melanie, Jean, and Jason) as long as I could. First 4 miles were tough, almost lost them a few times. Turned out everyone else was struggling. I ran out front from mile 4 and kept the pace steady, no longer dragging the group I was helping to pull them (until the last mile when everyone forgot they were tired). Tempo splits: 7:02, 6:52, 7:03, 7:01, 7:01, 6:50, 6:54, 6:56, 6:52, 6:30. Then one, easy mile cool down. Definitely a team feeling run today.

20 mile run pretty much went off smoothly. 5:30 start with Joe, Jamie, and Cynthia. Picked up Craig, Diane and Renee at Diane's house. Then into the park, almost to the 4 mile water stop then back to LL. Cool and humid with a nice cloud cover.
