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.

Hills, Hills, and more Hills. I started doing my hill repeats again. This time I'm doing them for time to try and increase my overall speed. They seem to be so much harder when you are trying to get up there faster. Surprisingly, I beat my goal time to the top each time but once. (I was 3 seconds over). That is something to get me excited! Next weeks hills where I'll add one more repeat to the mix.  I wonder when I'm done with my hill repeats (in 7 weeks) if I'll no longer be intimidated by this hill.

Runny happy friends!

Great job on the hills! How long is this hill that you're running up? I ask because I'm thinking whether I should do hill repeats.

Keep up the good work!
