My accomplishment to date completing 15 marathons and 6 ultras....nothing fast....yet.

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

OK, I've been blogging less than a week and I've already missed a training run yesterday. Apparently, arguing with dear husband over something trivial seemed like more fun. What in the world was I thinking?

Today I met my good friend and trainer Melissa for a workout. Now Melissa is about 5'2" and about as nice as a person can be. She will smile and laugh as you sweat and give your last ounce of strength to the exercise she is putting you through. I usually use her nickname the day after one of our training sessions - La Jose Bag. (That's pronounced like the Latino name Jose.) BTW, that is Deborah-eese for hose bag. It really is meant (and taken) in a friendly way.

Needless to say she did what she does very well. I'm walking on a pair of spaghetti legs and feel like I had the best workout in weeks. I'm not sure if I feel this weak after a marathon. Good job Jose!

Doesn't she look like such a nice girl? Don't fall for it! There is a deep evil streak there.

If I'm feeling good later this evening I'll try and make up the run I missed last night.

I missed what you ran???

But I am so glad you have your great FRIEND to run with---it make all of the difference in the world! And on only 4 hours of sleep??

Arguing should earn you at least a mile---if you were yelling loud enough!

No run today...just weight lifting.

Hey, welcome to the blog!

Your trainer looks so innocent, but I guess they all do! How did you post that picture on there? I have a race coming up and think it would be fun to post a *before* picture on here (because we all know how "pretty" the after picture is going to be)

How to display pictures in the blog....

You know the place where you type in your original comments? The area that looks similar to a MS Word application with all the buttons above the text window? If you click the last button on the right (of the second row) it will take you to a screen where you can tell the website where the image lives. The picture in this post is already on the Internet so I just provided the URL for picture.

Let me know if that works for you or if you need more help.

She looks as sweet as a button!

Thank you for telling me how to put pictures in my blog. I think it makes it a lot more fun!
