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.

I'm trying to start doing 2 long runs back to back. But before I jump into it head first I thought I'd start with a training run the day after a long run and just bump the second day up a mile or two each week until it reaches 10 miles. Actually, I don't think I'm that patient. I've got a 10 miler scheduled on Sat. Perhaps I'll just jump in with both feet and follow it up with another quick 10 on Sun. Perhpas I'll bounce it off my more experienced running partner. Elvis, if you are reading this please give me your 2 cents take on it.

Anyway, today is the first time I've run after a long run. It felt awful at first. My right hamstring was tight and I was convinced I wasn't going to make it a quarter mile. So I decided to try 10 min and call it quits if needed. Whew, it wasn't needed. I only did 3.5 miles tonight but I'm feeling good about it.

Happy running friends!
