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

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.

4:30 AM - I will no longer make a negative comment about 5:30 AM being too early. I have noticed that I run slower in the morning than in the evening.

It is odd how I can run in my neighborhood post 10 PM in my neighborhood and feel safe yet first thing in the morning I'm paranoid like crazy. I read somewhere that assults happen just as frequently in the early morning runs as the late night runs. It must be the lack of coffee. My brain must be making up reasons for me to be back home with a cup of java in hand.

8 miles were on schedule today but only 7 miles were accomplished.

I think totally differently. I have a jaunt near my house that I like to run. I affectionately call it the "rapist loop" because I live in the country and it is in the middle of nowhere. It is very secluded with no houses/lights/people/etc. It is a perfect place for people to park their cars and venture off into the thick woods, etc. Although I haven't ran it early in the morning, I would feel much more comfortable doing so because I think all the rapists and bad people are in bed passed out by 5AM. At 9-10PM (when I have ran it and was a nervous wreck!) they are out looking for prey.

Way to get going at 4:30AM. That shows your determination. I would cry big crocodile tears if I had to get out the door that early. Nice run!

I guess I feel more comfortable at night because folks are still up and awake. if something happens there is some hope that people will hear. I dont have that same feeling in the early AM.
