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've been a part time employee for the past 4 years. I have the utmost respect for everyone who has done their training, worked full time, have small kids and a spouse.

New job going well...I have no computer at the moment so I printed out some of the job requirements so that I'd have something to read until my machine comes in and my network account cleared. It has been a long day trying to look busy.

My run went well...must have been the pent up energy. I averaged 11:49 min mile. I see I'm decreasing 5 seconds per mile every other week. I think if I keep this up, I'll qualify for boston in about 60 years....lucky for me that isn't my goal.

I hope you all are having good runs as well.

if you hold that pace, you would finish in the top 5% at Western...

I know what you mean about trying to look busy while you wait for a computer and network access at a new job. Good luck with the new job. I hope you enjoy it.

Training, working full time, with kids and a spouse is certainly hard. I guess I'm able to do it only because my kids aren't so little any more and my work is fairly flexible.
