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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Ran at the Y this morning with the running group.

Warmer out this morning and a little more humid, but still awesome. Was going to take it easy but decided on doing at least 3 x 1K intervals, which were a little slower than usual but still fast enough to wake me up : 6:23, 6:03, 6:05

Ran in the neighborhood and along Trinity Blvd grassy shoulder.

First morning in a while at 70 degrees. I felt energetic, so the easy pace felt easy.

Arrived at Longleaf a couple minutes late. It gave me a chance to run from the very tail end of the group. Mostly easy pace until the last 3 miles where I did two miles in the 6:30's and one in the low 7's. Bike trail crosses a side street which has a cross walk, car was coming and looked like it wasn't going to stop, so I stopped just as he stopped and was glared at by the driver.

Nice cool temps. Legs felt good, I didn't feel slow, it just felt easy.
Neighborhood t-shaped route and some out and back on Trinity Blvd for usual Friday morning run.

Ran from Longleaf into Starkey Park and then back.

Nice 51 degree morning. I arrived a couple of minutes after 5:30, Bob was there, and then Eudair showed up a few minutes later. We ran to Diane's house who had left water out for us and started running with Jorge and Victoria. We all ran a few miles into the park. Return trip with everyone but Bob. I did a little extra back in Longeaf to make it to 18.
