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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Warm up, 2 easy miles (9:31, 8:53), then 3 @ 7:10 (goal), with actual splits at 7:08, 7:08, 6:47. Was not looking at split for that last mile until it was done. Good taper run.

Decided to stick with the schedule speedwork even though I ran the 5k on Sunday (but at the cost of not doing the 13 mile MP run the day before).
5x1k with splits: 3:57, 3:52, 3:53, 3:51, 3:49
Although these paces are not at all easy, I'm feeling more confident when I do them. Goal pace was 4:03/km. If I'm struggling I either miss the paces or just barely get them with some of it too slow and a big sprint near the end to try and make the time.

Finally! Sub-21:00. Same race last year I thought I had it but came in right at 21:00
Did an easy mile warm up and a few strides, weather was a little bit warmer than it had been at 72 degrees which would've felt cooler in the summer. Out of the start line I felt pretty good and tried to stay relaxed. Ryan K was there and it first wasn't too far ahead of me. I thought about trying to hang onto him as long as I could but decided to just concentrate on my own race and pace.
First mile 6:36, good! Not sub-20:00 pace but pretty solid sub-21:00. Second mile at 6:43. Slipped a little but still on track, just don't fall apart. And finally third mile 6:42, a slight improvement but more importantly not a significant slowdown like I've done at many 5Ks.
Tom was there and scored another sub-16:00. But today had some pretty competivie runners and first place person came in at 15:37.
Age groups were at 10 years, so Ryan got first place with his 19:10. Trying to hang with him could've been a disaster but who knows. Feeling like sub-20:00 is more possible than in recent memory.
It was a pretty fun morning with lots of the the usual people I see at races and a few I hadn't seen for a while.
