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.

4 easy super slow miles tonight. 12:18 pace.

I was incredibly distracted today. I start a new job this week and I'm incredibly nervous. I had an awful week last week as my job of the last 6 years was going away....product of the recent economy. I'm only moderately qualified for this new job at best. It is hard going from being the "go-to" person that knew how to do their job and did it well to knowing absolutely nothing and having to fake it for the next few weeks.

It's also hard going from part-time telecommuter to full time sit in a cubical all day....yuck!

Wish me luck.

Good luck with the new job. I'm a full-time cubicle dweller, though I do get to telecommute from time to time. Let us know how it goes.

Good luck with the new job. I feel your pain; my office is a windowless small basement room that I share with a Korean post-doc.

and "super slow" is a relative term, and given the context of you as an ultrarunner, it does not apply to you...
