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.

I cannot believe how nice the weather was this morning. My Tuesday morn running partner and I tackled hills with ease…which is to say we were not wishing a car would run over us just so we could be done with the hill early. I couldn’t believe that Mother Nature would be so cooperative this morning. I made mention of the nice temps sometime during the race. Pruette, who checks temp/humidity before each run, informs me that if feels nice because we are only at 90% humidity instead of the normal 100%. Wow what a difference a drop in 10% made.

Also worth mentioning is the fact we were going slower than normal because my legs aren’t fully recovered from last weekend. That too helped to make for a good run.

5:15AM, 74 degrees, 90% humidity – 100% enjoyable

It's amazing the difference a slight temperature drop can make. Glad you enjoyed your run.

Hi KP, thanks for dropping me a quick note. We had an illness and death in the family and I just couldn't make it out for a run. I'm finally getting back on schedule now. I hope things are cooling off for you some over there in your part of the southern US.
