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  (old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Started out with Jenny , Chris H. and Kathryn L. . We all ran together to the water stop, then I went with Jenny and Chris to almost the end of the far neighborhood before turning around. Picked it up on the last mile (about 7:30 pace). Had to get back so I could leave for PT on time. Great run this morning. Getting more and more normal.

Nice, easy run this morning with Jenny , Lisa R. and Nicole S. We kept a pretty steady pace the whole way and the weather was great this morning. If I had run one more mile I could have had a gel.  Actually, I can't wait until I'm doing more miles each day, but little by little is good for now.

Average pace: 9:35

Ran with Jenny , Lisa R. , and Chris H. this morning. Decent weather and a very nice run. A few garmin issues though both equipment failure and user error but it all worked out in the end. Took Sean K. 's fancy hammer gel with 50mg of caffeine that he gave me yesterday because I had been whining about gels yesterday.

So far so good for a successful third week of running.

Nice easy run this morning with my favorite running partner Jenny and her fun friends Kathryn L. , Lisa R. Carin Z. and Nicole S. Jenny was up early to meet with a client, I got back in bed and almost overslept but made it out just in time as the group was passing by to meet up with Jenny. Great run and first 4 days in a row run in a long time.

Average pace: 9:34

Longleaf to Starkey 11.27 mi 01:40 08:52 pace

Up early to meet Chris H. at Longleaf for his big 18 mile run to keep him company for the first 10 miles or so. The weather was a real treat this morning. We took it easy and kept a steady pace. I split off from him just before 11 miles the did a short pick up at the end. Hung out for a bit until I could bum a ride back to Longleaf. Felt good overall and enjoyed seeing so many friends out.

A good wrap up to the third week back to running.  I'm not completely where I'd like to be eventually but I'm where I want to be right now.
