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.

Our track club started their first track session in my neck of the woods. Sweet. Today’s workout:

1 mile warm up

6 x 30 second striders

2 x 800 repeats

2 x 1200 repeats

1 x 1600

1 mile cool down.

Holy cow, how can something be both really fun AND really awful at the same time??!!?? All I know is that I’m looking forward to doing it again next Tuesday.

That's one of the better descriptions of speedwork that I've heard recently: "really fun and really awful at the same time."

Good workout... you'll be blazing the races in no time...

Great workout. How much rest did you have between intervals?

It always takes me at least two miles to get warmed up. I'd have a hard time doing a speed workout with only a 1 mile warmup.

Don't know how long of rest between intervals...probably too long. I was too busy chatting with folks I only see once a month at best.
