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.

Don't think I mentioned that I had surgery yesterday.  Nothing big...just had a walnut size cyst taken off my noggin.  It was both gross and really interesting all at the same time.  Of course I asked the doc to see it once it was out.  Neat stuff.

So I thougth I'd run a couple of miles yesterday until the numbing med wore off.  Lets just say the only place I ran was to bed.  It felt like a 10 lb hot branding iron was placed on my head.  Today it is much better.  Still feels like there is a 5 lb weight on that spot but at least it's no longer burning hot.

Did an easy 5.33 miles this evening.  I think the humidity is hear to stay.  On the plus side, my skin doesn't seem to dry out when it is humid all the time.  Yep, that's it.  The only positive I can think of when it comes to humidity. :)

Hope y'all are having a nice week.  Time for this stank person to hit the shower.

Wow. I'm amazed that you even thought about running the day that you had surgery. I'm glad you just ran to bed. That was the right thing to do. I'm impressed that you got out and ran the next day.

I hope you're noggin gets feeling better.

Running and pain meds....maybe not a great idea!!! I would have taken that excuse and RUN with it, to NOT run, that is!

Are you still recovering from your surgery? We haven't heard from you in a while. I hope you're okay.
