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.

Reindeer Fun Run

The kids had a blast at the fun run today.  They took off like a bat out of hades and found themselves winded at .1 miles.  They took a walk break and took off again.  Somewhere around .5 mile my 6 y/o stated that this was HARD!  She then sat down.  Being so sympathetic I reminded her that we were still in a race and to get up and walk.  (Feel the love?)  We rounded the coner and the last .15 miles were all down hill.  They were off again seeing the finish line.  I actually had to sprint to keep up with them.  Who knew those little legs could go so fast?  Finish time 12:31.  I'm so proud!  Best non-long run day ever!

We enjoyed the post race buffet of cookies as you can see below.

What a great race and a great picture! Thanks for sharing.

Good for your kids for running in the cold. My 6-year-old whimped out of the kids fun on Thanksgiving because she was too cold.
