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 went to bed last night knowing I had to meet someone @ 5AM for a run. I was so worried that I’d oversleep that I woke up every 30-45 min. I woke up wide awake around 4AM after having a dream that I was getting ready for work. I looked down at my watch and saw the time read 7:30 and I slept through our run. I really need to get a life.

The temp was nice this morning 77 degrees but the humidity was still oppressing 99%. I asked a friend for help doing more hilly runs. Well, I got what I asked for. Not only did we do nothing but hills, we did it faster than I would have pushed myself had I’d been running solo….on a flat road. I’m feeling a bit tired this morning but still I’m glad to have this run completed.

I’m looking forward to sleeping in (6:30AM) tomorrow morning.

So the sleeping through the run part was in the dream, right?

It really helps me get up and out the door if I'm meeting someone. It's great that your friend was able to push you a little.

First Carolyn calls 6 miles easy and now you say 6:30 is sleeping in!!! We must all have some kind of disease (and I believe it is very contagious).

Have a great day! Awesome run in the humidity---yuck!

Great job getting out there especially in the humidity!
