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.

Did an easy 5.61 miles. Wanted to go further but the lower intestines had other plans. (The runs). Sorry to be so gross. I'm thrown as to why after all this time of running my body has taken the last few weeks to decide it wants to unleash lower intestine fury after mile 3. Morning or night makes no difference. What I eat makes no difference.

Any one got any suggestions? (Again sorry for the odd topic)

Average pace 11:36….slowly moving this down…again, keep this up and I’ll qualify for Boston by age 120. Yes, I know, I'm not training for speed...I'm just happy that consistency is paying dividends.

I find that running sometimes does that to me. I take Benefiber every morning and that seems to keep me so that I can usually take care of business before I run. Sorry to be somewhat graphic, but you asked.

Thanks. I'll take anything that'll help take care of things. I used to drink coffee 1/2 hour before my run for similar reasons. But that was before my morning runs were 7 AM not 5 AM.

I don't take the Benefiber before my run. It doesn't work that quickly. I just take it with my breakfast every day, which I eat after I run.

I'm not sure what combination of things has gotten me to where I am, but for the last 6 or 8 months, I've been answering the call mid-day (say, between 11am and 3pm), which doesn't interfere with morning or evening runs, of which I am fond of both. I think it has to do with my coffee intake around 8am, cleaning me out before my evening run, which in turn, stirs things up enough to clean me out later in the evening before any morning runs (no pun intended...)

Yay bowel topics! (you'd be surprised how many conversations of this type I've had during ultras)
