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.

I took PTO to have an extended lunch today.  There is a really nice trail about 20 min from work.  I met my old personal trainer there and we took off for another fun adventure in middle GA.  Sorry, no crazy animal stories to tell.  It was just a wonderfully nice, peaceful, rooty, rocky, hilly run.  Our pace was nothing to brag or even comment about but the break in the middle of the day was fantastic.

My car doubled as my locker room and I was quickly changed back into a worker bee and now I back in my cubical.  Yes, I do feel for those who have to venture into my cube after my post run afternoon hours. Nasty, I agree....but it has reduced my number of visitors today.  Productivity is up. :)

Of course I want to! It is a matter of making arrangements for the kids. It's hard to do a run AND keep an eye on a 5 and 7 y/o.

Sometimes life gets in the way of a good run. :)
