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(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose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

Warm up on the 1.25 mile loop, then ran 2 miles with 7:20 goal pace. First mile felt hard to get on pace but picked it up enough toward the end to get 7:18, then held the pace and picked it up some more finishing the second mile in 6:54.
Felt great to meet and exceed the goal. I've been feeling slower where it feels like I'm going all out at the end of a run and seem to only be at about an 8:00 pace - but those times I didn't start out with a goal. Importance of goals and having a structure to meet those. Need to get onto a schedule and goals. At the very least, with the lack of races available (although they are starting to pop up more and more), try a challenge run like this.

Nice and easy start, running from Westlake Village, cut through Autumn Woods and Eniswood again, and working over toward Pinellas Trail and then north up to Klosterman Road before turning back, heading back to the house on via the Trail to Crystal Beach Ave, then Alderman.

Up and down the street on Lakeview Dr. Kind of an "I" shape with a perpendicular line at either end on Pinewood Terrace and Woodcutter Dr. The uphill and downhill makes the run less boring for just being up and down the same stretch of road.

Friday usual run on the trail going by Lake Dan. Good relaxing run, easy start at 10:29 pace for first mile and 6:37 for the last 0.13 for the homestretch. Warm, 81 degree weather but some clouds so not too dreadfull.

Ran in Starkey Park for the first time in a while. Jacob was running in the cross country meet. It's one of the slower courses around due to a lot of sugary sand. This year some of the usual trail was flooded so they re-routed it a bit but still slow, but at least sand wasn't as bad with the wetness.
He ran 21:51, which was 47 seconds slower than last week but I think kept him about the same finish place as usual. Tom (and Jenny) came by also to see some of his old teammates from Mitchell run, Jessica and Dani were there also.
After Jacob finished I started my run, heading out on the bike trail a little bit past the "4 mile water stop" but it's actually 5 miles when starting from cross country parking area and there's not actually any water at the water stop these days due to Covid.
But, it was a good run, nice to be back here and good to make it over 10 miles for my "long run".
