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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life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 with Thomas to the gate and then back. He led the whole way and I just followed behind him, good pick up at the end also. Andy was busy with homework.

Ran with the Striders at the Y, did some intervals (8x400m) - all of them a bit under 6:00 pace, most about 5:50 or so. Another nice and cool morning to be thankful for.

5:30 am run with the Striders at Longleaf.  3 mile warm up then 4 mile tempo run, first one in what seems like forever.  Splits were 6:41, 6:38, 6:35, 6:34.  Fortunately it was a nice morning, still cool enough.

5:30 am start at Longleaf with Joe and Cynthia, easy paced miles to Diane's house to pick up Diane and Renee and then into Starkey Park for a bit.  Very humid today but some of it was chilly at first (but that didn't last long).  Return trip from Starkey park back to Diane's house was faster (except for the section on the way out where everyone was getting buzzed by horse flies - I hate horse fly season). 

Last four miles by my self with last mile at 7:21 followed by a short cool down.  Good run and good friends as well as a decent week of running.
