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.

OK, I feel lame.  I only did 2.5 miles.  Actually it was a bit less but I'm gonna round up.  I did however average a 10:30 min mile....but I'll save the celebration for when I average that pace on a distance further than this.

You know, if it is not Sat I can not get my lazy bum out of bed for a run.  I went to bed early last night, set out my shoes, watch, reflective belt, iPod, etc.  I had all intentions of waking up and running at 5AM.  Instead I get up around 3AM, do some bathroom business, turn off my alarm and go back to bed. 

I didn't hit the road tonight until 9:30 PM.  I was pooped.  I probably wouldn't have gone out except Prez will be looking at my training log to ensure I don't go more than 1 day between runs.  I will get some razzing for the whopping 26ish minutes of running.

I will however be taking the next two days off.  Call it my taper before the race on Sunday.  I'm not worried about finishing 34 miles...I'll get there eventually.  However, a friend will be there and I have to look strong as I run the race....even if it kills me.  Dang Pride.

Good luck on your race! I really have no idea how you cover those distances.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

That is funny what you say about pride, I seem to have the same problem. No matter how hard we TRY to not have that little competitive edge, it rears its ugly head!
