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 met up with the Galloway group down here and was able to do 6 miles with company before driving 40 min to a 5K race. I was so stoked to find out earlier that there was not going to be many folks so the possibility of bringing home hardware was actually there.

I had also talked a woman (non-runner) into joining me for the race. The entire ride up there I was torned between trying to actually earn an award or trying to ensure my friend had a good first race.

So, in a nutshell, I almost had a PW (personal worst) but made a great memory this weekend. My friend had such a good time that she has agreeded to run another race with me in December. Bonus.

I hope you folks had a great weekend as well.

Way to go on the PW (I was confused for a minute) and sticking with your friend. That IS what it is all about. My friends are all too fast, I am always trying to catch them.

Have a good week.

Good for you for putting your own personal desires aside in order to mentor a new runner. There's always another opportunity to pursue your personal best. Way to go.
