My accomplishment to date completing 15 marathons and 6 ultras....nothing fast....yet.

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!

I had the pleasure of keeping a friend company on her 18 mile training run today. She's training for the Disney Marathon.

I was really nervous about this run as I've not been able to do more that 3.5 miles recently before my legs got very uncomfortable. All was good until about mile 11 and then it became a great effort just to keep going. It was an effort to will the legs forward but they did...and we finished. (Whew!)

All this great effort was of course rewarded with a trip to BK for a cheeseburger and large fries....to replenish my carbs and protein....of course. :)

Way to go! 18 miles is the longest I've ever run and the two times I've done it has nearly killed me. You are amazing to be able to go that distance and longer. I just hope that the 18 miles a day didn't hamper recovery from your recent ultra.

Great job!!!! 11 is no easy task after all you have done as of late, and you are such a good training friend to everyone. Lucky people!!

And i am so happy that you rewarded yourself with that cheeseburger!

I bet that felt good to get that long run in, sometimes it takes a friend to get you through it. Nice REward!!!
