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.

58 degrees and 29 MPH winds....feels much colder than 58 degrees.

No negative split today. It's hard when you live at the top of the hill and maintain a slow pace on the way down and pick it up on the way back....well, I guess I'm only making excuses for my failed negative split. I should have stayed super conservative from the start. Todays stats:

4 miles @ 11:57 min mile pace, average HR = 165.

Then I did something different....

4 x 30 second striders after the run pace: 6:31, 5:49, 5:51, 5:36 min miles respectfully. HR ranged from 142-157 on these. (Garmins are so nifty!)

That's a big pace difference between your average pace and your pace on the striders. You can go fast when you want to.

Thanks for that comment. I thought I was gonna die before each of the the 30 seconds were up. I'm sure striders don't mean run as fast as you can.
