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!

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.

I'm noticing, as odd as this sounds, that I find myself looking forward to breaking a good sweat now when I run. It just seems to be an instant pat on the back for going out and putting forth a good effort. After a mile or two I'm drenched and feeling like a million bucks.

The downside to all this heat/sweat is the fact my garmin reads 15-30 sec slower per mile.

Actually, as I'm typing this my hubby is commenting on the smell of my endevors and is wondering why I'm on the computer rather than in the shower. He just looks at me odd when I tell him it is the smell of success. :0)

looks like you're recovering nicely. i've never heard of a blister under the toenail... sounds painful!

i'll send some of my sweat your way, since you like it so much ;)
