Running Accomplishments:

My accomplishment to date completing 15 marathons and 6 ultras....nothing fast....yet.

Short-Term Running Goals:

In the next 2 years I'd like to complete three 50 milers and a hundred miler before I turn 40. I'd like to break 5 hour marathon and then a 4:45 marathon and then keep improving. I’m starting to think I’ll hit 100 miles before I see a sub 5 hour marathon…..Geez.

Fifty miler #1: 2008 JFK 50 13:29:53

#2 Hearland 50 13:51 (got lost had to find road back)

#3 Bethel Hill Moonlight Boogie June 12, 2010...very soon

Two down....one more to go!

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to run 100 miles.

Personal:

I've got two wonderful kids who are 6 and 8. I want to pass on the joy of running.

5:15 AM, 70 degrees, 100% humidity. Wow! What a great run! The 70 degrees was such a nice change from the normal temps. I met Pruette, the 68 y/o man I run with on Sat for hills today. We run a hilly route each Tues morn @ 5:15. Today I started giving names to the big hills as we were running up. There was “breath taker”, “big betty”, and “easy hill”. Breath taker was pretty obvious as the hill was causing us to suck wind. Easy hill really isn’t but it was the last big one and so we gave it a name to make it seem easy. That really didn’t work. A couple of things worth noting. First, I run with such an old man as he is the only person I can keep up with. Second, I really shouldn’t be running when I’m that tired. I start doing odd things like naming hills. J

My hubby offered me a drink and I had to make a tough decision this evening……Beer or run?? I only drink on occasions and only on the weekend. My 5 mile run was cut down to 2.75 miles. Have you ever had a gut feeling about not running in a certain area? I had planned on running my neighborhood and then down the street through another one. About mile 0.5 I had a near panic feeling about running down the road to the other neighborhood. I decided to not to do run to the other neighborhood. Then my imagination had the best of me. I can’t even put into words how badly I scared myself. I tried to remember all those safety suggestions you read in articles and hear in lectures. I ran trying to look as puffed as possible…I was running as tall as possible, running like a linebacker about to tackel someone like you see on football games, and I put on my “mean mommy” face. I wish I could have had a picture taken so I can show how ridiculous I really looked. Of course nothing bad happen. I didn’t even see any strange people in the neighborhood. The only folks that were out were just the normal few folks that take their dog out for a walk at 9:45 PM. I think this was a case of my mind/body not wanting to be out for a run and it did what it could to cut the run short. Honestly, I think my body just wanted to come back and get that can of cheap beer.
