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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Good Monday morning run around the usual neighborhood streets, past the golf course, and a bit into the next neighborhood over.  Warm and humid but reasonable.  Decent mileage, felt pretty good and nothing to complain about = something to be thankful for.

Ran at Longleaf with the Striders.  Easy paced warm up a little bit over 3.5 miles then was planning on doing a 4 mile tempo run.  Shortly after starting the first mile I thought it didn't feel right so I scrapped it.  I changed my mind again as I approached the turn around point when I had three miles left, decided to run the return trip as a three mile tempo run which turned into a progression run:  6:55, 6:45,6:35

It was a good outcome for something I had decided to scrap.

It was a bit on the warm side, about 79 degrees, I do much better at 75 or below.

Ran with Joe this morning. We kept the pace nice and easy, stopped a couple of times for water. Not too bad out as far as temperature and humidity go. 5 days ago

Accidental 20

Run went really well. I started out with the Galloway group for about a mile and a half then ran by myself to Diane's, then into the park. They had gone ahead because I went to the parking lot, but caught them just after the power lines after they had turned back. Ran a bit with Beka, Jason, Andrea and Melanie. Ran back to Diane's then back to Longleaf and was close to 20 so I kept on going to make it even.

Definitely best long run since the big race and maybe for some time before that, too.
