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 two awesome kids.
Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat 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.

Short run day, a little bit of warm up, then out and back to the gate followed by 10x25 second strides with 50 second easy jog between. I did not get below 6:00 on the first two but the remaining 8 were between 5:13 and 5:54. One of them did have 4:54 for "best pace". I don't think I have ever run a 400m at faster than 1:15 (only tried once a long time ago). Might make me go faster if I try and break my record. Running these strides usually makes my "easy run" pace a little bit faster the next day.

For today's run, I ran out to the new park, ran two laps around the lake there and then ran back home. When I got to the lake I did not look at my pace while running, but decided to run the first lap at about the pace I had just been running, and then beat the pace on the second lap. After I got home, saw that I ran the first lap at 8:23 pace and the second lap at 7:12.
Last mile was at 7:25.

Ran from my house to Starkey Blvd, stopping at the little church, then ran out and back just past the bridge a little bit. When I woke up I didn't think it was going to be this cool and it felt even cooler than I thought it would. I brought a gel with me and a 10 oz water bottle. The water bottle had a small leak in it which squirted out a tiny stream of water when I squeezed it, so upon learning this new fact I stopped squeezing the water bottle. First two miles were slower, then third mile was 8:29, then I got going a little faster with the next 5 going from 7:57 down to 7:21.
I had decided to not do my fast mile on my way down Starkey Blvd. However, as I approached back to my neighborhood I started going faster and was at about a 7:00 pace. The gate was closed almost shut so I had to stop and open it, so my pace dropped but there was still time to make it up. So, I did and finished the last mile 6:43. But, I wasn't trying to do a fast mile and I didn't have that feeling that I was going all out and taxing myself. It felt like an old feeling of fitness returning. I've been running some different things and trying to make each run a little different and throwing in some challenges and it might be working.

Short run to get something in and wanted to run it not too slow. Last mile 7:36 pace, and final 0.33 at 7:04 pace. Ran from my house to a little bit past the water fountain on the golf course (but I haven't actually gotten to use that fountain in quite some time other than as a landmark to run a 3ish mile run).
