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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

A little stiff feeling when I started but warmed up nicely by the end. With the 25 mile run out of the way I feel like I'm over the hump for now, although I need to think about some more long term running goals that will lead to running happiness, injury free running, and avoiding burn out. Want to keep it fun while keeping it rewarding with some challenges to keep it interesting.

08:11 pace I went to the Y this morning to meet up with the Striders running group for a 5:30 start. On Tuesday they do tempo intervals, although they are a little more like fartleks but no matter, I thought it would be something different.
Started out kind of slow but faster
than I usually do. Was going to do three intervals, but after the
first one decided to just run easy and also cut the run a little short.
With about a half mile left to go, Beka came up behind me and I was
going to run it in with her, but she asked me to run in front of her, so
I picked it up and put in a good effort. It worked out to get out of
my slow rut for the finish even if the whole run wasn't quite as
planned.

Nice morning for a run. Wore my
new Brooks Launch I got from Jenny for my birthday since it was time to
retire the older pair. Saw Jenny and Lisa coming back in from their
run. I did a proper amount of warm up before my run so it felt a bit
easier today. Did not do the evening boot camp, but spent some extra time with the boys instead.

Ran with Striders at Longleaf this morning, starting at 5:30. Last
week I said I was going to do a 4 mile tempo this week, but Raj had
texted me asking if I was interested in 3 miles at 6:35. It was a
little faster than what I had in mind but didn't want to turn down
company on a tempo run so why not. He forgot his garmin, so I let him
wear mine and be in charge of the pace. We did an easy 2.something to
warm up then did the fast portion - 6:32, 6:32, 6:32 (I'm guessing at
the last one because Raj was actually 6:21 and I was 10 or 11 seconds
behind him). A little bit of pain in my right hip flexor area which I felt after the run but less than what I felt on Monday's run. Keeping an eye on it. Good thing the taper is starting up soon.

Ran with Joe G, first time in a long time. Joe and I trained for the Jacksonville marathon in 2007 where I just missed my qualifying time by 26 seconds but Joe made his time. He did not run Boston that year but ran it the following year (2009) when I ran it also and he invited me to stay with his brother who lived in the Newton/Wellesley area. Joe takes time off, I don't see him for a while then we run into each other again. It's always good to see him again.

Great run overall today. Started with
a small group at Longleaf. Felt sluggish and lagging behind first
couple miles. Stopped at Diane's lemonade stand, then into Starkey.
Eudair and I split off and got onto trails via horse corral. Out to
power lines then south for one mile. Beautiful morning as it was
getting light. It felt like forever since being on this section of
trails. Good to be back. Left the park then picked it up the last few
miles. Efficient run with minimum time stopping today. So, I was able to get back home a little bit earlier than normal. Jenny had offered to take Thomas bowling and could stay there until about 9:30, so that took the pressure off me to rush my run. So, although this was an efficient run, there was no pressure to be efficient so I enjoyed the entire run - except perhaps a little at the beginning when my ankles felt tight, especially the left one. But, I knew that feeling would pass and I would enter into the long run magic zone. I have been getting a little bit of schedule wear lately. By that I mean the schedule has been wearing on me. I've tried to keep the schedule as loose as possible with just an approximate mileage goal for the week and a weekend long run. Now, the race is in just two weeks, so I'll just concentrate on not concentrating, cut back and run when I feel like it.
