Long-Term Running Goals: Maintain my health and continuosly 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.
Would like to complete ultra marathon some day also as well as a triathlon. I'd mention Badwater but that might get some people close to me worried :)
I've made a list of marathons around the country and world that I'd like to complete (there are 18 so far)
Personal: Married with two kids. Our whole family tries to stay active. My kids have done great in Tae Kwon Do along with my wife who has her black belt. She is a very healthy cook and has recently been cooking lots of vegan and vegetarian recipes.
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. Favorite Blogs: |

It was raining when I got up, so
was about to head to the Y for the treadmill, but the rain stopped once I
walked outside. Went back in, got my garmin and enjoyed a nice quiet
run without having to drive anywhere. Having been out to dinner with work and customers the two past nights took a little bit of a toll on me. Fortunately I was somewhat careful with the amount of eating and drinking, but still, I could feel it. Looking forward to 25 mile run tomorrow since it is my last really big run before the 100k. There is an 18 mile run next week, which is good since it's not too long to be scary but is long enough to feel long.

Ran at Longleaf this morning,
started out slow and trailed behind the group, took it easy for the
first 3 miles, then did a short tempo run of 3 miles - 6:58, 6:56, 6:38,
followed by about a 1 mile cool down. Starting out the first tempo mile felt good and was faster at first, but slowed down a little bit. The second mile soon felt hard, towards the end of it I was determined to get my pace back under 7:00 even if by just a little bit. The third mile felt easier because it was the last mile, not as easy as I would have liked but it felt good to put in the effort. I think I've let too much time pass since I made myself run faster, not since Dec. 3 and the 5K. There were some good reasons I supposed, but in the big picture I think too much time went by.
Chatted with a few people after
the run then headed home. I'll try and make it 4 tempo miles next week.

Met up over at Suncoast Running for
their Wednesday morning run. Started out in one group and ended up
splitting into two groups. I ran with Dougie and JM. Nice relaxed pace
and change of scenery (although not much scenery since it was dark for
half of it). Good run today.

Ran from my neighborhood then across Trinity Blvd. Chatted with Wendy H.
two times as our paths crossed. I had thought about running to the Y
and taking my gel and water there but decided to turn around because I
wasn't quite feeling it. So, I decided to turn around. My left foot
sounded slappy so I started concentrating on fixing it by trying to run
smoother and quieter. I missed a turn on the way back, then things
didn't look quite right until I realized I had missed the turn and gone
out of my way (did the Kinsmere loop by accident). Finally headed back
the right way, stopped at the golf course fountain, then picked it up
the rest of the way.

Easy run today, ran on the grass next to the road. Felt a little
tight and creaky starting out but good and loose on the way back. I had thought about not running when I first woke up this morning. I had slept into 7:20 except for a very brief partially awake time when Jenny got up for her run. It felt good to sleep in a little bit. I used to be good at that. Although of course, too much sleeping in can be a bad thing, it's nice every now and then! Anyway, this past week's recovery went pretty well for the most part. I was a little nervous running the 50K as a race rather than just a long run because I wasn't sure how well I would recover, but it seems to have worked out. Now I'm at a point of less than 4 weeks to go. I feel ready in one sense but full of a lot of unknowns at the same time.
