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)

#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.

8PM,  43 degrees, 24 mph wind.

I just had a great run with my neighbor and her daughter doing an easy 3.8 miles.  The wind made it a bit challenging at times.  The gust were so hard at times that it felt like we were pushing a brick wall up the road.  Fun times!....Really, we had a great time!

Happy Tuesday y'all!

That really is some wind. I'm glad you had a good time.

I run into the wind problem over here some, too. It's great that you can get to a point of enjoyment with it. Sometimes I enjoy the challenge, but sometimes...

(actually, that reminds me of running in Hurricane Katrina... scary but fun...)

How's that coaching you're doing for your neighbor coming...?

I can't say I'm coaching her rather I'm a consistent running partner with a plan. So far it is going well. She shows up, runs, holds a good conversation and doesn't complain. The best part of it is the fact I'm now training more consistently as a result. I think she is doing me the bigger favor.
