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!

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 was out the door by 5 AM today. Goodness, I am not much of a morning runner. On the other hand the weather is so much nicer this time (62) of day than at 9 PM at night.

Despite the odd hour, I managed to get in a few miles at a 11:18 pace. My average HR was 66. Yes obviously it wasn't on very tight and not reading correctly. Which reminds me of a comment I once heard while running with our training group. One fellow wears his garmin but never his HR monitor. He told me that he did that as a professional courtesy. He was afraid to show people that lawyers really don't have heart. Isn't it nice to read that people everywhere tell corny jokes as they do their long runs?

Hope you folks have a great day!

Congratulations on an early morning run. I think that's the way to go, but to each his or her own.

That's funny about the HRM.

You are doing so well with your pace! Way to go! My pace is getting slower with every race I do, oh, well.
