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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

| I woke up this morning at 6:11 glad that I didn't have to wake up extra early. I let the dogs out and saw that it had rained last night but had stopped now which was good. I fed the dogs as I was getting ready for my run and was out the front door by just before 7:00. Stretched and warmed up a little bit more outside then I was on my way. I wasn't sure exactly what I had in store for this morning's run other than hoping to get in about 8 miles at a reasonable pace. First mile was typical of first miles for me at 9:03 which included a traffic light delay. Second mile was faster, then 3rd mile was inexplicably slower which worried me slightly until I reminded myself that pace did not matter today, then I was ok. I had turned on my music just after 2 miles and was really starting to enjoy the morning. It's mornings like these when I feel as if someone asked me what I was training for I'd say "nothing, I just like to run". The fourth mile was right where I wanted it to be at 7:41 which should have been a good pace for the rest of the run. However, some music came on my ipod which made me feel like running faster. The next two miles were at 7:07 and 6:49. I slowed down a little bit and got stuck crossing a busy road so the next mile was 7:58. After that I felt charged up again and did two more faster miles at 7:09 and 6:48. Now I was almost home, slowed down, jogged and then walked a bit. I like finishing up Thursday's run because it is the end of 4 days in a row so those during the week base miles are finished. Friday is a fun do whatever you want short run, and Saturday is the long run that sometimes feel like an adventure run. Although this Saturday might just be some cross training since half marathon is on Sunday. Average pace: 7:41 | |
