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.

It's another night run (actually report being written the next day). Being a female runner has some draw backs....like the repeated advice to vary your running times, routes, etc. So instead of running an hour on the same streets I normally run I took it to the tread mill.

This is suppose to be an easy run (HR under 165) so I decided some Pink Floyd should do the trick. Let me tell you, the urge to crank it up is greatly reduced when listening to comfortably numb.

I ended up with a faster finish time than normal. For some reason tread mill running is a faster pace for me. Sweet.

I finished up around 10:15 came home, showered, and had a GREAT night sleep. I might have to try that again this evening....which will be tomorrow's entry written on Thursday. :)

My husband is more of a Pink Floyd fan than I am.

I'm glad you found some comfort in the treadmill.

I sometimes worry that I'm not varying my routes enough, but oh well.
