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.

These next couple of weeks start a new page in several areas of life. This week I wrap up my work at my current job and next week I start on something totally different than I am accustom. YIKES!

Today I start day 1 of a 30 week training program for the "Mother Road 100" on Nov 13-14. I'm going to follow this training plan: http://www.trailrunevents.com/ul/schedule-100m.htm . Day one of week one...run 2 miles. Done. So far it is a piece of cake.

Happpy Running!

Cool...

Congrats on taking the plunge toward the 100, and good luck with the training; it should be interesting. I have a friend (Kathy Youngren) that ran Mother Road in 2008, and I think she enjoyed herself. It sounds like a cool race, and it has a unique finisher's award. There's just something strangely rewarding about something as difficult as a 100...

Good luck with the new job, too. I'm coming closer to that point, as well, so I can sympathize with any apprehension going into it.

And Happy Running to you, too...
