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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Earlyish morning run (6:12 am start) inside Westlake Village, running two of the big loops. Sub-10:00 average while keeping HR average below 130 (although a little higher than supposed target of 124).
It's been a blessing to have to finish my run before 7:15, seeing the sunrise and enjoying the predawn temps.

6 x 1k workout in Westlake Village
Route was slightly different for this (usually I'll pick a stretch of road and run out one way then next repeat back the same way). Today I did the repeats on a loop, so that starts were not at the same point, always some section of hill.
Wanting to hit splits at 6:46 pace or faster (4:12/km) for goal of breaking 21 minutes.
Did not meet that pace goal but did do the primary goal of doing all of the repeats, not giving up due to missing paces, because I'm still putting in the work.
So, paces for splits were: 6:44 (4:11), 6:57, 6:47, 7:06, 6:55, 7:08
If I take the fastest 5, it adds up to 21:25 5k, a little short from 21:00, but who knows if race day magic will help

Once again, two big loops inside Westlake Village, keeping heart rate at a decent range, feeling easy.

A most encouraging morning. Signed up at last minute, temperatures not looking great but early enough to not be hot and sunny. Pretty good warm up, just over a mile easy running, then about 4 strides. When I went to do the strides I was running a faster pace than I can usually do during such a warm up.
At the start line, not sure the exact course route. Slight uphill from the start area, turn right and run about a mile with a small loop turn around, run back south a mile then about a half mile more south before turning around then right turn down the finish chute.
Happy with splits: 6:47, 6:54, 6:55, then 6:02 pace for the last bit.
In the last mile, caught up to first place female, but then she just passed me during the homestretch.
Eke'd out a small improvement over the Strawberry Classic 5K which itself was an improvement.
Now, two times in a row getting all three miles under 7:00 pace. Got a little lazy in the third mile when it looked like I'd have no problem holding the pace, maybe could've gotten down to mile 1 split with better focus.
Fun morning in Safety Harbor, they had a nice collection of vintage and modern VWs (bugs and buses and some rare models). One free beer per runner also and some decent food.
